I need some serious advice and direction – after this brief rant!
\nI stupidly let a DOB inspector into my basement (I know!) on a bogus work without a permit complaint (yes, I have an enemy in my house-long story) but I had nothing to hid, or so I thought. When we bought the house from a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153contractor\/developer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d whatever work was in progress was stopped, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153duh, I’m dumping the house\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, I get that part. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Developer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d does it by the books, permits? yes, we checked. Inspections – OK, Bank – OK, DOB (as far as I know) – OK! Years later now I have someone elses (\u00e2\u20ac\u0153developer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d) unfinished business as my violation. No one is truely honest any more.<\/p>
The Inspector was also on a fishing trip and sited all sorts of things that have been a certain way for years, so someone sent them on a mission and I let the enemy into my house. I cannot tell you how angry this makes me and how stupid I feel. So beware. Lesson learned.<\/p>\n
So, can anyone clue me in on what I do now? I’m just a normal schmo. Some of the things I can fix myself, some of the things I will need someone professional, so that’s all OK (sort of) Its the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153get a permit\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to finish work that may or may not be legal part that I need the most advice on.
