Hi, has anybody heard of “City Wide Violations Removed, Inc”? They promise to cure/legalize existing building violations using their own architect while you or anyone you hire/hired does/did the actual work.

Saw their flyers distributed in Kensigton.
Is this a legitimate type of service or a scam?

For example for the house we bought, the basement was dug down to create more space and finish it. But there is no papework. We’d like to have things as legal as possible for peace of mind and resale value.
