LOL, Pat...2 real reasons for permits, public safety and money.

I offer prayers for those in Colorado for safety from the floods.

My wife is not thrilled at the amount coming out of my safety account, but probably happy I have a therapy house to swing a hammer at again.

I was a nurse for 39 years, and I never contacted head lice or bedbugs from my patients.

If the landlord does not fix it, and Code Enforcement things the problem is a safety hazard, they will condemn the property which means no one can live in it (no rent) until the problem is fixed.

They include a safety switch that *prevents* water leaks.

If you like the area, no doubt if you are patient, you will be able to locate a suitable investment property that will give you a better net operating income, cash on cash and return on your investment.

Anything that's related to "safety" or habitability must be ok.

I had my electrician once decide that there was a safety issue with the between the meter and the service head.

I can't believe I've been this patient!
