Submitting for Structural Retention: What Documents Are Needed to “Legalize” an Old Alteration? Unpermitted construction presents a massive liability for property owners globally. Consequently, an old alteration completed without municipal oversight poses extreme safety hazards. Furthermore, such unpermitted work inevitably violates local building codes. Eventually, property owners must address these illegal structural modifications. This reckoning […]
