Despite applying for permits, the prior owner apparently never had them finalized. That was over 20 years ago, and the county showed no interest in going out an inspecting the property, in part because they wouldn't know what code provisions to apply!<o:p></o:p></p><p>In another case, an eastside city did come out an permit after the fact some then current owner remodel work, and while some obvious plumbing venting issues did require being addressed, they let slide some electrical issues, such as number of outlets on a wall.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Getting back to the OP's question, those sorts of issues are more likely to be issues for a seller in a more normal market. For that second situation I was critical of the appraiser using two short sales as comps when the sale itself was not a short sale and that area had very few short sales--so obviously a different market time.<o:p></o:p></p><pre>Kary L.
