Owners cite contractor turnover and are granted 120-day extensions
Summary
Several respondents told the magistrate they had changed contractors or had contractors who stopped work; in multiple cases the city recommended and the magistrate granted 120-day extensions to allow reactivation of plans and completion of work.
Multiple property owners asked the magistrate for longer compliance windows because their work stalled after changing contractors or suffering contractor nonperformance. Lee Pollock said she was “on my 4th general contractor” and asked for time after being “taken advantage of a few times now,” and the magistrate ordered 120 days for that case.
City staff repeatedly told the court that when permit applications go inactive (no response to plan corrections for six months), the contractor or engineer must reactivate them. In one short-term rental case the city explained, “Your plans are inactive… your contractor let the plans become inactive,” and the magistrate approved 120 days to allow reactivation and submission of missing revisions.
