Sacramento Building Departments Hitting Homeowners and Businesses with Building Code Violations and Building Permits

Sacramento, CA, October 16, 2009 --(PR.com)-- With California property owners already being crippled by the highest drop in real estate property values since the great depression and rising property taxes, the property owners of Sacramento are now faced with another challenge – the city’s new policy of beating homeowners and businesses with building code violations and building permits. With the recent downturn in the economy, it is no secret that the real estate market has been the biggest victim and, likewise, property owners. Because development has come to an almost standstill in nearly every part of the U.S. – including Sacramento – building code officials are now searching for new ways to keep busy or, more likely, to generate revenue. In Sacramento, building code departments and offices are sifting through records for old violations and hitting the streets for non-permitted home additions and remodels. But is Sacramento’s recent policy the fair and equitable thing to do in this economic crisis?

At an increasing rate, existing homeowners and business owners are now being cited in the mail for old building code violations that often require the property owners to cure any building code violation within 30 days. Another substantial chunk of cited building code violations issued by the City of Sacramento are homeowners and businesses performing non-permitted additions and remodels without acquiring the necessary Building Plans and Permits.

With no assistance or guidance, these homeowners and business owners are faced with many unanswered questions. A local Sacramento area building design firm, Sacramento Design Group, specializes in design and drafting in addition to special use and building permit issuance, and has been flooded with calls about Sacramento’s recent agenda to cite old building code violations and issuance of citations for non-permitted additions and remodels.
