Unpermitted Addition, Stop Work Order, Bad Idea?
I am interested in buying a property in a historic district, shut down for not having permits. They put a 1000 square foot additional in the back, which appears to be quality work to code, but there are a few minor issues to correct to comply with historic regulations.
I could have great economics with this deal, even if I paid a contractor to do the job correctly start to finish and straighten things out with the city.
What are the risks involved? If everything is to code, I hope it's just a matter of paying any fines and starting the paperwork from scratch.
