Is this legal
Hi everyone
Idk how to feel about this.
In 2021, I purchased a property that used to be a duplex. The previous owners turned in into a single family home. I went to the city and they verbally told me it’s ok to turn it back into a duplex. I poured my life saving into it and make it a duplex. When it was time for inspections, they told me, I can’t do that and the area is not deemed for multi family- which is a lie because both houses on either side of mine were duplex. I fought it, paid a LOT of money to get the work done. They wouldn’t budge. They told me I have to convert everything back to a single family. I sold the property at a lost 2 years later. Now less than a year later, the property is being sold as a duplex and everything on the city and county’s website said duplex.
I’m so upset. I have a bunch of emails going back and forth with them telling me no only for them to approve it less than a year later. Is there Anything I can do at this point?
