Atlanta permit questions/help

[Mike H.]

Hello All !

Buying a flip house in the city of Atlanta.  They pulled an addition permit, electrical, HVAC, plumbing.  electrical, plumbing, and HVAC all show "passed" in the Accela system.  The addition permit also shows "passed".  But the addition requires a CO from the city.  Anyone know if it is merely paperwork for the city to issue the CO from this point after passing all the inspections?  Do i have any risk closing prior to receiving the CO?  See snip below.  Thanks to anyone that can help.  Really tired of living in this AIRBNB haha.  We have clear to close and all are ready to close.

Hi Mike

Please don't close without a CO it seems you may even have final building inspection that needs to be passed. Please don't rush to close. Your loan officer will request for a  CO if you plan on closing the property. I don't see the point of risking and trying to close without a CO. I understand its a hassle to call inspection..however, if you call before 4 you should be able to schedule building final for tomorrow or day after. Chances are the inspector will pick on one or two things and then you will have to get that addressed and re-call the inspection for next week. However, if you think everything is on point then you can get your CO this week. Hope this helps.
