540 Earlywood roof repaired but permit not pulled; inspection and penalties tabled to April hearing
Summary
City of Franklin building official reported the roof at 540 Earlywood Drive has been repaired but the contractor did not obtain permits; the city will inspect and the matter was tabled to the April 16 hearing for an update.
Hearing authority K. Mark Lloyd ordered the matter for 540 Earlywood Drive to be continued to the April 16 hearing after city staff reported the roof had been repaired but the required permits were not obtained.
Clay Folkerson, City of Franklin building official, told the hearing that complaints prompted a review, that “the roof has since been fixed, but they were supposed to be getting permits to be able to do the work,” and that the city needs an interior inspection to confirm structural safety. Folkerson said the missed roof-repair permit was $15 and that failing to obtain a permit often requires paying three times the permit price as a penalty.
Patrick Rausser, who identified himself as the property representative, apologized and said he believed the contractor had handled the permit but that it was not obtained. Lloyd and city staff agreed to table penalties to the April hearing to allow time for inspections and repairs; Lloyd ordered Rausser to appear at that hearing, scheduled for 04/16/2025 at 02:00.
