Non-Conforming Units in California

[Daniel Auriemma]

I am currently looking at a 4-plex California, the financials are strong (rare for California) and thw property wIll cashflow after a small downpayment and fIllIng up the main unit wIth a renter. After finding out it fell out of escrow last week I got more details and found that 2 of the 4 units were never permitted and are “non-conforming” units. If so, I have been doing some research and found that if they have been “continuously” rented that they are grandfathered in. Has anyone had experience with non-conforming units? Is that true that they won’t need to be permitted? Thanks BP Family 🙌🏼
