@harry Williams I would probably go on to the county site and see if I could pull an old permit with his phone number or address.

How to make sure to not get into contractor delays or permit/inspection issues.

With all that I went to the ZBA hearing, none of the neighbors showed up to protest, so I had approved the use of the property as a duplex, even though the zoning is not permitting duplexes.

Rental properties have a higher standard for dryer venting,, most city inspectors will require you to have smooth sheet metal duct, not any of the accordion type dryer vent hoses made of plastic or flexi metal.. and must be vented outside..I'd call city talk to inspection department and find out the regulations.. as your currently "thinking" about adding a dryer... honestly we had a huge issue with trying to install a washer and dryer in a 4 plex,, the city inspector would not permit use because we didn't have a egress window in the basement for an additional way to exit,, code required 2 exits out of basement to have a washer or dryer for use.. basically the basement was off limits. because of no 2nd point of exit we couldn't even let tenant's down there so we had to lock it off. 

Make sure whomever you use is going to pull all the permits. 

If when you apply for permits to repair the slippage, is it possible the city will consider it new construction and require a use under the commercial zoning? 

For this one, they created a permit policy for STR which does not clearly add anything of value on top of the permitting just put in place by township.  

You must recreate your own.For RE, (not your examples), the biggest expenses are property taxes and insurance.

I knew about the house fire but was expecting everything to be fixed but my inspector found so many improper repairs that there was no way the repairs could be permitted (and sure enough it wasnt).It important to have a home inspector look at every house.

I apologized, provided my license, my CCW permit, told him I had two loaded handguns in the truck, and offered him the keys to search the vehicle.
