Got back the zoning inspection, need your help!

[Patrick Hepner]

OK, being new to real estate I need the eyes of someone with experience.

I get what this report is showing, but I am primarily concerned with the third page, point D: A permit is required for any of the following.... etc. etc.

My question is, what exactly requires hiring a 'design professional'?  I mean, if there is a copper pipe that has a crack in it, it's quite simple to get some flux, a coupler, propane torch, etc and get it good as new.  Am I allowed to do this or does this notice require that I hire a professional?  If I have to hire a pro, there is no portion stating that I need to keep receipts and prove it really, I just have to have the inspector come back to the house and verify that it is up to code.

I guess I am just confused now as to what constitutes a do-it-myself kind of job versus what I have to hire someone to do.  

As always BP community, your help is SINCERELY appreciated!
