@Chad Duncan, Great primer with citations from @Ashish Acharya. 

They’re also going to issue citations to the previous owner.

If you didn't win a Respectful debate with an inspector on the site, or at least get him to pause and return, your stuck doing what he asks for in this instance.That being said, its fair to argue with them that the plumbing permit can be inspected and finalized, and a separate  citation against the property should be recorded for whatever violation the inspector believes must be addressed.  

Looks like there are L&I citations that are still open, so the city knows about it.The state owns this; we discussed that in another thread previously.Because the state owns it, there’s no property tax bill, and thus it won’t find its way into the sheriff sale for unpaid taxes.

If you would like more to read, we´d be happy to share more of the citations--just let us know.

Came across citations for not pulling permits on electrical,plumbing,roofing and car port.

The County has purchased software to crawl sites like AirBNB and VRBO, and issues citations for any activity found. 

He did say it would be about 10 days before he would hear back and didn't know if a citation would be issued or not.

But, again, if you have a source/citation that says otherwise, I’m always open to learning something new.

See the case citation I attached below.
