New homeowner given 182 days after inheriting extensive unpermitted work
Summary
Melissa Maletzky, who bought a house on May 29, told the board she inherited unpermitted work; the board granted a 182‑day compliance window after finding she had not performed the work herself and the seller had previously agreed to cure permits.
A new homeowner who said she purchased a house marketed as “move-in ready” was given 182 days to cure unpermitted renovations she inherited.
Melissa Maletzky told the board she bought the property May 29 and that the seller had previously agreed to cure active permits and violations within 60 days of closing but had not done so. Inspector Jorge Martinez confirmed permit reviews were underway and recommended time for the new owner to work with the city. The board voted to find the violation exists and ordered compliance by Jan. 26, 2027, or $50 per day in fines would accrue. Board members urged the new owner to contact the inspector immediately and retain a contractor to complete corrections.
The board emphasized that while it will provide time, ongoing communication with the permitting office is required to avoid fines being recorded and accruing as a lien.
