getting a permit on long island to turn the gas on
7 May 2019 | 3 replies
The house has a partially finished basement with 3 seperate rooms and a garage and bathroom that was converted without a permit ( very very common here on long island I did the same in my house ) .Of course if an inspector comes out most likely I either have to get up to code or eliminate the garage converstion and take the walls down in the basement .If I dont I would probably have to wait up to 8 weeks to get drawings and approvals thus delaying the entire project .

Tricky situation with the landlord-who pays for the toilet?
5 May 2019 | 10 replies
When we rented the condo just recently, we asked the landlord to make some upgrades in the master bathroom (its a 2 bed 2 bath condo) and we offered to split the cost 50/50 (he was reluctant on the overall cost so we agreed to pitch in because we liked the place otherwise).
