Can't get a response from Code Department
I'm having a heck of a time just getting the code department to do their job on a flip, and it's burning some major pocket holes. Anyone have any ideas on how can we get this moving forward?
It's been two and a half months on a simple closet to bathroom conversion, and we've only managed to get the rough inspection done. All told it's been maybe 4 days worth of actual labor so far, the rest has just been waiting. The inspector finally came out last monday and called our plumbing "creative" and just said he'd need to review the regs (no list to fix or anything). It's a flip of an 1-story older home on slab that was built from 2x3s, so we had to be creative as there's barely anywhere to run our PEX. We responded within 2 hours citing relevant code and saying we'd box out the sections that he didn't like for final, but that this was just a rough inspection so we left it exposed.
No response for going on 10 days now.
This is a relatively high end flip, so we were expecting to sell for 450k. This is hurting BIG time. Please help!
