City Of Milwaukee Permits

[Doolan Wesley]

Hey all, trying to see if anyone has any experience dealing with the City of Milwaukee. I am in the process of flipping a home in Bay View and the contractor working with me pulled permits and submitted them to the city back in February. We waited 6 weeks for a response from the city inspectors and heard from no one. We did what any reasonable person would have done and moved forward on the interior work.

Today a city of Milwaukee inspector showed up and said that we needed to stop and wait to hear back from the city. I know in Minnesota there's a 60 day time period for the local government to respond to the property owner in regards to permits. What about in Milwaukee? Can the city literally sit on permits for months and not respond? Thanks.
