<div dir="auto">Ask the city for the address file for the condo. File a public records request if necessary. You want both planning and building department records.

Keep in mind that the removal and replacement of exterior windows is exempt from permitting if the size of the opening is not altered, although I don't know when that exception was put into place. The building official would probably know.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 7:08 AM Craig Blackmon <<a href="mailto:craig@lawofficeofcraigblackmon.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">craig@lawofficeofcraigblackmon.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Colleagues, my client bought a condo in 2020.
