Norfolk VA Permit Issue

[Dan V.]

Anybody who has ongoing flip in Norfolk VA? Did you have any issues with your permit due to lockdown? We applied for a permit 3 weeks ago before they closed the city offices and now we are waiting for inspector to show up before closing up the walls. I appreciate any tips on how can I get the approval so we can finish up the rehab.

@Dan V. Hey Dan! When dealing with the city I wouldn't chance it and close up. There have been investors who have told me horror stories about having to open the walls back up in order for them to inspect. The cost of doing that will be more than your holding costs of waiting for the inspector. Be persistent and polite and continue to engage with the inspections department to try to get an idea of when they will be able to inspect, or an alternative way to seek their approval to close up! Good luck!!!!
