What do you do?

[fatboy]

When your inspector is on a reroof inspection and sends you these...……







Oh, and you go back on historic aerial images, and it has been there since at least 1998??

Write it up as lack of flashing?

Write it up as lack of flashing?

That's what he did......and we ignored the 20+ year old building w/o a permit.

 

[Mr. Inspector]

Years ago I had a tree coming through my roof at a enclosed garage-house breezeway with mostly dirt floor. I did try to flash it but every time it got a little windy the tree would move around and mess up the flashing.

Kinda what I thought...………

Whats under the roof? Patio? Livable space?

Dump them to the utility company

Let them be the bad person

No idea, have not seen it, other than from the roof.

Dump them to the utility company

Let them be the bad person

It's been there for over 21 years, the meter is in the backyard, if the utility company had an issue, surely a meter reader would have thrown the flag on it. That is what surprises me, that and that a neighbor never ratted it out, being that it is sitting on the property line.

 

[e hilton]

The neighbor has an ugly horse statue in the back yard, what do they care about a utility pole through the roof.

 

[mark handler]

Probably a storage shed built without permits
Look in the file.

 

[ADAguy]

Could be a garage, note proximity to fence line.

 

[fatboy]

Fence in front of it, no access to the rear.

I'm thinking a workshop of sorts, something you wouldn't mind having a pole in the middle of.

 

[ADAguy]

Is this a rural area where you can get away with something like this?

 

[fatboy]

Nope.............back when this must have been built.....90's........City population would
have been 80K-ish
