Required to allow the county inspector inside?

Michael Bridgett
Posted

I have a disgruntled tenant who filed a claim with the counties livability inspector.

Shortly thereafter, I received a violation notice in the mail advising that an inspector verified that electric and plumbing work has been completed at my property without the required permits.

This is 100 year old small multi-family property that I purchased two years ago, turn key.

Now, the county inspector is requesting that I meet him at the property and allow him inside to inspect the plumbing and electrical for any code violations. 

Would you all let him in?

The violation notice mentions that I’m required to pull permits within 30 days or face daily citations. It’s hard to pull permits when I have no idea exactly what the violation is. Thoughts?

The property is in Frederick County, Maryland.

Thanks BP!
