I am buying a house rent to own. The property was to be renovated upon our moving in. We had a date set to move in and it came and went this left me in a bad position. I had to move so when told it was complete we moved in. This was almost a year ago.
Being a contractor I understand that some things may need completed later and am ok with not all projects being permited. However Electrical is not something I want a toothless junkie doing.
If you guys could help with code section I have the book I can look them up. Here are my concerns:
1. There was no permit for the electrical work done in kitchen and laundry area.
2. I can see daylight into my garage where my car should be through the cold air return. How would I pull in there and pump CO into my dinning room?
3. The first step from the ground up the stairs is a cliff, my elderly aunt who lives with us has a real problem negotiating it.
4. Dont know if this is a code issue but the hot water tank leaks constantly and runs across the basement floor which is supposed to be our laundry area.
5. The 1st bath has no vent but the window to the enclosed porch.
6. The 2nd bath has no vent an open rafters in basement.
7. The windows are out of the track which is broke. This allowed the 24" x 48" window to fall out land on my 6 year olds heads then fall to the floor and break. This is what set me off. The solution was to replace the glass and leave in driveway for me to fix, of course at no cost to the landlord. AND for the privelidge of doing the work fior free I was allowed eat the cost of any materials.
Sorry for the length of the post be I am at wits end and want the house as promised, my money back or to be compensated for my time and materials. I know you guys can help me.
