Opening Up That Can of Worms Cont'd
A recent permit application by one of my customers has him spending a lot of money. Applying for a permit is always the right way to proceed, but when the city told him there was work on the drawing that didn’t match what they have, is when that can of worms was opened.
By doing so, he now has to bring up to code or dismantle all the work that was previously done without a permit. If he goes forward with bringing it all up to code it will likely cost him $35,000 minimum.
The lesson learned: talk to someone about what your plans are and find out if work has been done in your building that was done without a permit.
