[MassHistPres] How Heavy to Play It

[Dennis De Witt]

I completely agree with the comments below.  

Does replacement of windows need a permit there?  If not, it should.  

If it does, was there a permit?  If there was a permit you may have more of a problem.  

If he didn't pull one, he should have a big problem.

If there isn't an automatic procedure that no permit is issued in an LHD without a certificate, there needs to be one.

Getting the building inspector to write a ticket -- each day a new offense -- and/or withhold a CofO can really grab a developer's or contractor's attention.

If you don't enforce any one of the guidelines, they are all in jeopardy.  Do you want to go through the agony of deciding in each case whether to enforce a guideline that is already in place?  And won't homeowners/developers know that they can probably win just by doing the work without a permit?
