求助： 车库 改建 收到 city letter

Letters said it was to determine whether garage was occupied and existing eletrical /plumbing alternation . the garage was converted to a studio by previous owner 30 years ago. City came to inspect rats issue when tenant called them. of course no rats issue at all.  They also talked about garage. It seems there was a case open one month before the rats appointment. Tenant said it was based on complaints filed in 2000 and now city was enforcing it. We are not aware of such complaints at all. 

It is in San Jose bay area. Have anyone received such letters lately? is it for whole city or only this house? What can be done to minumum the cost? will they ask to convert a 100% functional garage again?  or just check whether garage was occupied and existing eletrical /plumbing alternation .

 there is someone living there. the letter was sent to the house address where landlord doesn't live.  Will city try to send the 2nd , 3rd letters before they add lien on deed? 

Please advise !!!!!    thanks a millions.

• 拖拖是可以的。要抓住administrative的程序拖。否则city跟你上了法庭，你损失就更大了。 -sweetptt- ♂ (134 bytes) () 10/31/2015 postreply 19:47:41
