I believe they already started the process to rectify the violation. >> 120 to start? They are processing? >> Yes. >> So, sir, do you reside there? >> No, ma'am. >> What the city would recommend is guilt, 120 days to start for compliance, $250 a day thereafter. If you need more than 120 days, there should be paper at that podium to show you how to request an extension of time. Request that extension of time before the 120 days stops. Day 1 would be tomorrow. You can put it in your smart phone. Count out 100 days. That's fine if you're still working. Go to MiamiGov. Com, and type in extension of time. Click on code compliance extension of time. As long as you do that before the 120 days expires, you're good to go. >> I should have the permit soon. >> Just in case, you have derm, everything else. 120 MAY not be enough, but the city's recommendation is to start with 120 days. If you need more time, once you request the extension of time, it takes 60 to 90 days anyway. >> I appreciate it. Happy New Year. >> Don't go anywhere yet. >> You accept the city's recommendation? >> Yes, I do. >> So ordered. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, sir.

I have a question for the commission. When the permit is concluded, are you notified? >> This is what you need to do When your permit is finalized, you paid for it, it's final, you call the code inspector and let them know it's finalized. Make sure they know it's finalized and that they issue you an affidavit of compliance. They do that and then you won't have to come back. >> My conversations with the city they say there are no further inspections needed. Just communicate with the city? >> Once the permit is finalized, the code compliance inspector cited you so you contact them to make sure that they have that you have it final with public works and they will issue the affidavit of compliance for the case, which will close your case out. >> It's kind of a cumbersome process.

That's not approved yet. >> Hopefully you've done-you know, separate- >> Yeah, it's separate. It's almost approved but needs more time >> You had interior and exterior work without permits.
