He just noted the unpermitted addition, saying that needs to be fixed asap (how the hell does one do a $60k job asap?) It’s the back half of the kitchen, the 3rd bedroom and back patio. He said based on his initial look, it’s not to code (it was added 20 years ago) and even doing a full investigation into how many violations there are would involve tearing up so much flooring, walls, and roofing….we “could” try to bring it up to code but since it’s a concrete slab foundation it would probably be cheaper to tear it all down (which you need permits for) and rebuild (which you need more permits for). The city inspector and supervising inspector that we called in both said the same thing. They are being so unreasonable and unrealistic it’s maddening. I feel like this is a perfect story for the Turko-files on KUSI where they expose horrible policies or people getting screwed over. All I did was buy a house, did my due diligence in looking at the tax records, and now I’m in danger of losing my house because I can’t afford these fixes, none of which I was responsible for doing. It’s such a horrible feeling that someone could get screwed like this.
