KITV4 asked the city why a project with so many violations can continue. "Often, violations are issued for work done without a permit. In most cases, the violator is required to obtain a permit to correct the violation, if the work can meet code. In cases where it is unlikely that the work can comply with code requirements, the only way to correct the violation would be to remove the offending work. When an after-the-fact permit is needed, the penalty is double the usual permit fee," it tells us.
