Am I screwed? (Condemnation threat)
Hello all. I’m a bit panicky today, as I’m being threatened with my property being condemned.
Long story short, my tenant is the granddaughter of a state representative (Alabama). They’re saying they contacted the Birmingham city inspectors about my bathrooms being too small. They are small, the property was built in the 1920s.
The city inspectors are (supposedly) coming out to inspect the property.
Are structural things like this going to get me in trouble with the city, or are certain things like this grandfathered in due to the age of the property?
I’m assuming a lot would’ve changed with building codes in the last 100 years. Am I going to be on the hook for bringing the entire property up to code?
thanks for any advice!
