How would they know?
- tehlike 5y agoThey don't, but the moment you need real permits or need to refi etc they might ask for and enforce permits.
- gorbachev 5y agoTry buying or selling a house with unlicensed "modifications". It's an interesting exercise.
- giantg2 5y agoVery true. Depending on the modifications (like electrical), insurance could deny claims if they find unapproved/unpermitted work, even if it wasn't the cause, or the cause was unknown (depends on the policy).
- sokoloff 5y agoAround here, if you don’t want to buy a house with un-permitted work, it’s no problem; there’s another buyer standing right behind you (often literally) who will.
- tehlike 5y agoThis is true but like i said when you need real permit etc this becomes tricky.
- giantg2 5y agoWell, I think NYC made it law that hardware stores can only sell hot water heaters to licensed contractors. Not sure what other restrictions there are.
