[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not in DC, but usually permits have sections for both the address owner and the contractor performing the work (plus their applicable license numbers)—your name is listed for both?

If you went through the process and cost to get the permit, and with permits becoming more readily accessible online, I probably would have it corrected. Hopefully a new one can be issued quickly. [/quote]

Yes this permit has me listed for both. [/quote]

That’s what it sounded like. I would have the city correct it, especially given the scope of your project.

Also, agree with you regarding liability—while it’s unlikely you would truly be at risk over what is essentially a data entry error, some cities and real estate sites are now posting detailed permit info for residences, so getting it clean and clear now might spare you some paperwork headaches later.

When you call, I’d ask about starting the work prior to receiving the corrected permit (it’s probably fine, but it would be good to have them on record about it).

For the final inspections, we were still the main point of contact.

Good luck with everything![/quote]
