Buying a house in San Antonio with open permits

We're under contract to buy a house that had permits opened up in 2011 for a small addition that was never completely finished out.  We are scheduled to close the transaction at the end of the month.  How much trouble will the City of San Antonio give us if we buy this house?

@Mike Deltz Good morning sir. It really depends on the permit and the work being done. Based off experience with my investors, some situations are less stressful than others. In this case, I believe you would just have to open up a new permit if you plan on finishing it out and it would trump the existing permit, that is if that's your plan. I suggest verifying with the city first though. I have the number to Jeremy Camarillo who's a DSD supervisor at the city that deals with the permits. Not sure if I can just post that on here but feel free to direct message me and I'd be happy to share his info. He'd be able to give you the correct info on your question.
