Anchor bolts on detached garage
Hi all. Moving to Chicago next month and I am under contract for a 2-flat in Chicago.
The garage is detached and is not properly secured with anchor bolts. My questions are:
Is this a code violation? I was told conflicting things and cannot find information online.
If it were your property would you ask the sellers to address this or would you fix it yourselves?
Do most garages in Chicago have anchor bolts?
Thanks in advance for perspective. I look forward to joining the Chicago Real Estate community in another month.
