So essentially, don’t apply for a permit until you know for certain the name on the deed is going to be the name that stays on the deed while operatingThere are two full time codes inspectors actively looking for violations every day.

In August 2018 an Oakland City Inspector told me to my face that the electrical wiring was hazardous and unsafe for habitation, at which point I called lawyers, the CSLB and my 203k consultants, and started the process of firing the SOB once and for all.

Building is expensive and the time factor of waiting for the inspectors when you GC yourself is tougher. 

I would worry about the inherited tenants too.If it were me I would want an extension and get help from my accountant, read every lease, scrutinize the financials, make sure there are no outstandings, and get a professional inspector.

For example, when the foundation is poured they get XX, when the framing is approved by the building inspector he gets XX, when rough electrical is approved by the building inspector he gets XX,  when the drywall is complete he gets XX, kitchen cabinets are done he gets XX, and so on. 

Hello everyone.Looking to network with potential team members and would appreciate references for real estate agents, attorneys, accountants, title companies, general contractors, insurance brokers, lenders, home inspectors, and/or property managers. 

:Just do it the CO monitor is like $30, plus I believe code is a CO monitor on every floor it would make sense that you would need it if people are going to be living in this "other unit"So, essentially, I just need to make sure the building is within the guidelines of the city ordinances, add a monitor, get an inspector to come out, and move in?

and hire a good inspector.

Get every property inspected and hire an inspector who is willing to go on the roof AND in the basement crawl space no matter what!!

You also do need enough left at all times to pay someone else to finish it.Maybe consider a middle ground like $2k a week and a schedule of what is to be accomplished each week for him to get the $2k, then the last $2k when the job is complete, signed off by the building inspector if permitted, otherwise acceptable to you.
