Top Violations:

  • Work without a permit
  • Unpermitted conversions (e.g. garages to units)
  • Non-conforming structures
  • Unsafe buildings

Fix-It Plan:

  1. Hire a zoning/code expert – You'll need proper drawings and possibly a legal argument.
  2. Run a lien and permit history check – See what you're dealing with.
  3. Submit a compliance plan – Detail how you'll fix the violation.
  4. Permit retroactively (if allowed) – Some cities allow legalization.
  5. Attend hearings if required – We can appear on your behalf.
