Does anyone have any experience with changing plumbers on an open permit with the DOB? Basically we have a situation where the plumber who pulled the permit to complete work necessary to obtain a sign-off has turned into a bit of a disaster. He just does not seem to know what he is doing, and causes more problems than he fixes. We actually did not choose to work with him. He was chosen by the previous owner of our house who initially opened the permit, and now we would like to ask a new plumber to finish the job. Can one plumber take over the permit from another at the discretion of the owner? What if the initial plumber objects?
