How to Find When My Property Was Converted to a Multi-Family?
Haven't heard, read, or ran into this before. I purchased a house that was listed as a triplex on the auditor's site. It has three separate meters and looks as if it was done properly. When I went to get the city ran electric turned on in my name, the city ran electric company only turn on the electricity for one unit. They said that the area where the house is, has not been zoned for a triplex since 1990. They stated that I need to show proof that the house was converted before 1990 to be able to use it as a triplex.
How do I show when it was converted?
How do I find who owned the house prior to 1990? It is not listed on the auditor's site.
Any other suggestions for dealing with this issue?
Do I have a legal case here to go against the city with?
