You just had to pay the permit fees?

Hello BP,I own a quadplex 4 unit multifamily in a state where marijuana is not legal in any capacity (recreational or medicinal); and one of my tenants (A) has mentioned marijuana smells coming in through the vents shared among all units. 

Well at the hearing the city admitted that they had no comps within 5 milesThey had used a portion supposed added value placed on the permits by the GC (without my knowledge)Changes the year of the property from 1978 to 1990 supposedly because if you remodel then you bring the build year up.

Will be reaching out to city planning to pull any past permits.

You need to do a record search and review the permits and CofO to find out if it was legally permitted at the the time it was constructed. 

With development, I've flipped a few places, so I understand that permits will need to be pulled.

The permits trigger the city inspection.

One other possible reason is they didn't get permits and/or ran afoul of some other zoning and it screwed their numbers some how.

My practice is mostly in the area of RE (State Board of Legal Specialization is the only authority that can permit a lawyer to say they "specialize" in an area of law, which requires fees, exams, and a "pretty pretty please".)Attorney fees are based on several factors that have been thoroughly litigated:(1) the time and labor required, the novelty and difficulty of the questions involved, and the skill required to perform the legal service properly; (2) the likelihood that the acceptance of the particular employment will preclude other employment by the lawyer; (3) the fee customarily charged in the locality for similar legal services; (4) the amount involved and the results obtained; (5) the time limitations imposed by the client or by the circumstances; (6) the nature and length of the professional relationship with the client; (7) the experience, reputation, and ability of the lawyer or lawyers performing the services; and (8) whether the fee is fixed or contingent on results obtained or uncertainty of collection before the legal services have been rendered.Like other professionals that are free to set a market rate, we gauge the highest wage that the market will bear.
