Or, in most metro areas, you can obtain the list of permits that have been issued, and see who is receiving permits. 

It is near Woodland Park which is having problems with allowing new permits. 

See what is possible thru Special Use or Variance permits.4. 

You also mentioned meters, do you have to separate meters, get approval from the city and pull permits?

This stuff will hit you if the things were done without permits..

Could put more pressure on 1c than just inventory or increase in permitting.  

My understanding is that the ballpark standard of "unless it would be outrageously tough" (something along those lines) is what applies if you're doing a rehab, seeking new permits, doing structural changes anyways, and things of that nature.For existing pre-ADA structures, my understanding is that the standard is more along the lines of "if it can be easily/cheaply done, you have to do it."

I understand there is a cost to have it burned down. the home would have to be prepped to to meet the requirements for permitting.

There is a provision in all my contracts that permit me to assign the contract to a newly-formed entity that I control.

The foundation was already approved, permitted and finaled years ago for a 3400 sf house, and its solid and I won't be building directly on the overhang edge; but rather back away from the edge a few feet to prevent any load issues all the weight will be on the longer sides of the existing footing.
