Purchasing house with illegal addition?

[Elvis Vasquez]

any idea what the cost is to bring an addition into code compliance?

Seems one of the previous owners has built an addition without any permits (there is a lien currently placed on the house).

Any idea what the costs would be to bring it into code compliance? (its around 300 square-feet seems to be CBS) 

I'd call but usually the officers are unwilling to help until you're the owner - they refuse to talk about the citation at all (despite it being public record).

No way to know as we have no idea how close to code it was built, what may have to be torn out, redone, etc. I’d expect $10k at best. Of course you will have to pull permits for it all with a licensed gc.
