Quote from @Rodney Sums:
Respectfully, you didn't have to be so condescending giving information. His basement kitchen does not affect you. There's more respectful ways to display your passion for building permits while giving constructive criticism.
I think, to some extent, I have to agree with you. But this is what happened.
The OP posted up the specialized code for Accessory Dwelling Units in his area that
he had obviously never looked at, which contained answers to some of his basic questions, in reference to the International Residential Code,
which he had also obviously never looked at. The OP
very clearly expected me to do his work for him, be it out of laziness, ignorance, whatever.
So I would say there were more intelligent/respectful ways for the OP to go about his business in the forums that to copy a link and expect the adults in the room to wipe and powder him and give him free, personalized, specialized advice of the nature he was asking for.
I cannot possibly overemphasize this, Rodney.
Real estate investing isn't for the psychologically vulnerable who need trigger warnings and safe spaces to find and use their voices. It's just harder than that. It really, really is.
The OP needs to get used to this if he's going to be doing obviously questionable things like building a kitchen in his basement
without even really trying to study the building code involved and only asking about the possible penalties he might be facing for this
after the fact. I do not understand how you can look at this and not conclude is is both L-A-Z-Y and S-L-I-M-Y as H-E-L-L, and the OP should be handled with baby-goatskin gloves to protect his dainty finer feelings.
SERIOUSLY? If I wanted to go into daycare I'd get a license.
