SF converted to MF Illegally, now what?

[Travis Richardson]

So here is the deal.

I bought a house on 08/14/20, which was said to be zoned as a MF per the city assessor site and the listing on Zillow even though it was actually sold as SF.

On 08/12/20, unbeknownst to me and apparently everyone else, the owner was cited with violating zoning.


I purchased the place to house hack and live in one side and rent the other.

Now it seems like he should have let me know it was cited, per the seller disclosure, and the title company should have caught it too.

time for an attorney?.?.?

Recommendations on one in Florida specializing in zoning law?
