A code enforcement notice doesn't mean the end of the world. It means you need someone who knows the path back to compliance. That's us.
Get Help Now →Maybe you received a notice from code enforcement. Maybe you discovered unpermitted work during a renovation. Maybe you inherited a violation from a previous owner, or a neighbor filed a complaint. However you got here, the clock is ticking — and ignoring it makes everything worse.
Unresolved code violations can result in daily fines, liens on your property, complications with insurance, and serious obstacles when you try to sell or refinance. The path back to compliance is navigable, but it requires someone who knows the system, the enforcement officers, and the process.
We review the violation, the code sections cited, the enforcement timeline, and your options — giving you a clear picture of where you stand and what it will take to resolve it.
We communicate directly with enforcement officers on your behalf — presenting compliance plans, negotiating timelines, and managing the relationship professionally.
For unpermitted work that can be brought into compliance, we prepare and submit the necessary permit applications — including any required plans, engineering, or inspections.
When existing conditions need to be documented for permit review, we produce as-built drawings that accurately reflect the current state of the property.
Open permits, expired permits, and permits needing final inspection — we schedule and manage the inspection process to close out outstanding items.
Written confirmation from the jurisdiction that your property is back in compliance — documentation you can provide to lenders, insurers, buyers, or title companies.
We assess the violation, review the code sections cited, inspect the property conditions, and evaluate your options — from full legalization to alternative compliance strategies.
We develop a compliance plan that protects your interests — balancing cost, timeline, and the enforcement agency's requirements.
We manage the permitting, documentation, inspections, and agency communication required to resolve the case — keeping you informed at every step.
Your case is closed, your property is compliant, and you have the documentation to prove it.
Don't ignore it — enforcement timelines are real and penalties escalate. Call us. We'll review the notice, assess your situation, and advise you on the best path forward before you respond to the enforcement agency. The initial consultation is free.
In most cases, yes. If the work meets current building code (or can be brought into compliance with reasonable modifications), we can prepare permit applications to legalize it. Some work may require as-built drawings, engineering analysis, or inspections. We assess what's needed during our initial review.
Code violations run with the property, not the person. If you purchased a property with existing violations or unpermitted work, they're now your responsibility. The good news: the resolution process is the same regardless of who created the issue, and we handle these cases regularly.
Simple cases (closing out an open permit, scheduling a final inspection) can be resolved in weeks. Complex cases (legalizing significant unpermitted construction) can take several months. We provide a realistic timeline assessment during our initial case review and work to resolve cases as efficiently as possible.
Rarely. In most cases, unpermitted work can be legalized through the permit process — potentially with modifications to meet current code. Removal is typically a last resort when work fundamentally cannot meet safety requirements. We explore every legalization option before considering removal.
The sooner you act, the more options you have. Call us for a free initial assessment — we'll tell you exactly where you stand and what it takes to resolve it.
