i drove by this house routinely and can attest that the photo on this issue is an old one, possibly from when it was being sold. This house has been worked on continuously for the last few months and has had workers there constantly.
To answers Pauls questions, any codes employee, contractor or seasons real estate agent can attest to the reasons below.
Hard to sell - the house likely won't pass inspection should they try to sell it.
Insurance issues - homeowner insurance policy modifications or changing companies often require a Certificate of Occupancy. If the certificate doesn't show structural changes that have been made, the insurance company can decline coverage because it's not code compliant.
Safety considerations - especially when work is completed that could represent potential fire hazards.
Double the costs - any permits pulled after work has already been completed include a fine that doubles what would have been the initial costs of pulling a permit before work was done. First, they need to contact their local building and planning commission as they are now responsible for pulling the permits.
Homeowner accountability – permits pulled after work is completed is the responsibility of the homeowner. It requires the inspection of visible modifications and changes not visible, which need to be detailed by the contractor or a hired structural engineer.
