BHO, since 4th Street does not actually have a center staircase, I doubt homey is the seller.

Neighbors, DOB inspectors reviewing houses near yours who will see the violation, but usually neighbors….
Wasder–did you get fined? If so how much?
Our Architect put the fear of god in us about creating non compliant (cheaper wood) deck….
The DOB has now deferred my case twice since I first got busted in October. If they don’t follow through the next time I am off the hook (three strikes!–but I doubt they will let that happen). So i don’t know what is going to happen fine-wise. Likely there will be some fine in the 1000 dollar range and then I will have to modify the deck to meet code (steel structure, move back from property line etc).
Turtlejam–neighbor turned me in. Don’t know which neighbor but its pretty comical because there are so many dodgy looking wooden decks on my block and mine is easily the nicest best built one.
How will the DOB find out about the illegal deck or any illegal deck that they can’t see from the street for that matter? Unless a neighbor rats you out – of course. Do they monitor the realtor sites looking for violators, or do they have deck sensing equipment in vans that they drive around? 🙂 Just curious really. I don’t have one, but would like to know how they find out about this kind of thing.

4th st. vs Albermarle—-and the winner is….Albermarle by 7 bedrooms!
Good luck with your 4th St listing, homey at May 15, 2009 2:15 PM. Why are you selling anyway? It looks like you spent a few dimes on the restoration. Why not enjoy it? Just accept the highest bank-approved bid and don’t try to ‘hold on’ and chase comps into the ground (homey don’t play dat). You’ll do fine.
***Bid half off peak comps***
“DOB has been cracking down on everything lately…especially decks…”
Oh my lord is this true. And I should know, having been victimized by this dynamic already. And it doesn’t matter if you didn’t build it yourself. If its on the house you own, no matter how long its been there, they will come for their pound of flesh.
