Open Permits & Code Violations

[Lesley J.]

I am working on an REO deal that is in need of Rehab, the property has been half rehabbed already and needs more. It appears that the garage has been converted into a master suite.

I am trying to figure out if there have been any code violations or if there are open permits for this work. I have been on the miami dade website and found that there was one violation in 2005 for starting work without a permit but it seems to be related to damage after hurricane Wilma. and appears to be closed.

How can I find out if there are any open permits without knowing the permit numbers?? it's obvious the work already done needed permits but i can't find the records.

thanks

Lesley
