Home Owner & Building Permit Inspector
Hello readers!
My Girlfriend and I just got a call from a Los Angeles "Code Enforcement Inspector" He left me a VM today, and also left me a Business card about a week ago and on our door steps when we where not home.
Part of his voice mail was "We have a complaint that the properties been divided the two units as two different families are running or two kitchens. So I'm going to need to make an inspection"
WOW.. So we bought this house to years ago. We live here and use the downstairs old Pool Changing room as a AirBnB studio.
When we bought this house, it was completely flipped. We pulled permits for all work done afterwards. Plumbing, HVAC, etc.
MY Q: What are our rights as owners regarding this??
I don't want to be a difficult guy, but I would like to find out what my rights are?
I am also wondering if we invite him inside our house and studio, maybe he can find other issues that can be used against us etc?
Any help or insight here? Any help is appreciated, Local & CA especially since I know codes/rules/regulations differ a lot from state to state.
Many Thanks in advance
PS : Newby on BP, looking to purchase my 1st investment property before 2017
