Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about building code violations and our resolution services.

A building code violation occurs when construction work, additions, or modifications to a property don't comply with local building codes and regulations. Common violations include unpermitted additions, electrical issues, plumbing problems, and fire safety concerns. These violations are typically identified through city inspections, neighbor complaints, or during property sales.

Most building code violations can be resolved within 30-60 days. The timeline depends on the complexity of the violation, permit requirements, and any construction work needed. Simple permit-only cases may resolve in 2-3 weeks, while complex violations requiring significant construction work may take 2-3 months.

Ignoring a building code violation can result in daily fines (often $100-$500 per day), liens on your property, difficulty selling or refinancing, and potential safety hazards. In severe cases, cities may require demolition of unpermitted work or pursue legal action. It's always more cost-effective to address violations promptly.

Costs vary depending on the type and severity of the violation. Simple permit-only resolutions may cost a few hundred dollars in permit fees. More complex violations requiring construction work can range from $3,000 to $15,000 or more. We provide free consultations with detailed cost estimates so you know exactly what to expect.

Most structural changes, electrical work, plumbing modifications, and additions require permits. This includes garage conversions, room additions, deck construction, bathroom additions, and significant remodeling projects. Cosmetic changes like painting, flooring, and minor repairs typically don't require permits. Our team can help determine permit requirements for your specific project.
