| What is (are) the consequence(s) of finishing my basement and not hiring an inspector. I hired out the electrical (certified tech) and dry wall mudding. I completed everything else including the radiant heat baseboards.
Annually there is a form that arrives by mail requesting me to fill out any changes that have been made to my home/property. Should I ignore this and wait for an auditor instead? Thanks so much for your comments. Con |

| Physically I guess it depends on what you did that was wrong or unsafe. Fires, structural failure, CO poisoning, mold growth I guess are some possibilities in some homes. Most folks "don't know what they don't know". You might not be able to call it finished space when list to sell - so I've heard. Search this section for "finish basement without permit". There's a big thread on the subject. |
