Hi everyone, I am wondering what is the usual time frame for pulling a permit in Weehawken, NJ.I am planning to do some renovation for my apartment.We will be submitting new plan for new kitchen, thus, involve electrical and plumbing.Will be great if someone can let me know what will be the process and how long approximate it will take.  

No, there's not an epidemic of people dying or being maimed on jobs.Yeah, you do require a permit to remodel a bathroom, but no, we generally don't get too bent out of shape if somebody does it without one.

I'm definitely out of my comfort zone when it comes to new construction, permits, raising funding etc.

All contracts, options, or other devices not based upon a substantial consideration, or that are otherwise employed to permit an unlicensed person to sell, lease, or let real estate, the beneficial title to which has not, in good faith, passed to such party for a substantial consideration, are hereby declared void and ineffective in all cases, suits, or proceedings had or taken under this chapter; however, this section shall not apply to irrevocable gifts, to unconditional contracts to purchase, or to options based upon a substantial consideration actually paid and not subject to any agreements to return or right of return reserved.Note the PRESUMPTION of brokering and the person has to PROVE they are not. 

What permits or licenses should I consider when doing my own rehab work?

It is less in the older homes as many of them were previously updated.Something that I like to do when researching Indianapolis (Marion County) homes is to do a permit history search for both the home in question and the homes in the immediate area.

You may need to identify significantly more like-kind replacement properties than the first two identification rules permit.

Could you inform all tenants that the pet policy is subject to "service animals" and you are informing them that you cannot guarantee that in the future a present tenant, or new tenant may be permitted to use a  service animal in the building, that you comply with the law. 

I may also pursue a real estate license (time permitting).        

Greetings all,I have a background in construction engineering and management and I want to take on a role as a GC/Developer/Planner for new construction of a pre-fabricated home property.I'm planning on building multi-unit structures for rent in an urban lot, (I will have to get this lot re-zoned) but for the process of construction, I'm trying to determine which permits I absolutely need to obtain, and which inspections I need to conduct, and how much all of this is going to cost.In other words, I'm having difficulty in determining fact from fiction when it comes to inspections and permits, and distinguishing which ones I absolutely must obtain, and which ones are just "good to have."
