[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Homeowner gave an interview to some instagrammer that I can't find now or else I would post it. He said that he started permit process in January, took 7 months to get it, had told his neighbor he was putting on an addition (didn't specify if he told her how big) and everything seemed fine until the third story was started. Once the third story had begun construction the problems started.

He is standing in front of the addition in the driveway and the quality looks awful. I hope that is just the basic beginning because it looks like it will fall apart in the wind.[/quote]

PP here. I found the interview so am posting insta link below. Another point that seemed strange was that he claims the addition is for his children and their families. But then he also says his son was harassed playing in the yard by someone complaining about the addition. So how old exactly are his kids? And they have families? Doesn’t make sense.

Here is link. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRK7bIRCdgb/?igsh=c3cxdWlyOWhlejF2[/quote]

PP again. At the end he states the problem now if that the back corner is 7.4 feet from property line when it should be at least 8.5. The front is 8.5 but the back is 7.4. He can be surprised and claim it’s an honest mistake but it’s over a foot too close. [/quote]

I assume the zoning required setback is 8', so the front is 6" more and the back is 6" less,  likely because the house is not parallel to the property line. They should have done a property line survey[/quote]
