You have to watch because the county site is wrong often times ...... you need the permit to say it’s legal use 

For city of Pittsburgh there is a website for searching occupancy here:

https://pittsburghpa.gov

Having trouble pasting the link into here but that’s the website I use for searching for permits.   Outside of the city, I call the borough.  

I am a realtor in the Pittsburgh area and have been running into a lot of properties that are illegal (no occupancy permit exists) for the current usage such as a single family home being turned into a duplex.   Does anybody run into this frequently?   What happens if you get caught?   How would you get caught?   I have buyers interested in these properties but the property would probably get flagged during the appraisal?   Any help here?

Hi Dom!!   Welcome to the site!!!!

I am trying to learn about all areas around Pittsburgh ... I've currently been showing an buyer investor foreclosures in Washington and I don't know that part of town at all .... my company has me working with a team that has me working primarily with investors who do flips or buy and holds.   That's what I've been doing .... I am just trying to get stronger at this everyday
