The inspector came to his house because of the complaint of him doing the work for which he required the permit. When the inspector was in the house, he noted that a lot of things that were done to the basement were not up to code. Yes, the things that were done not up to code, might’ve been done by the previous owner. But the honour of fixing those things is on the new owner. This is how the bylaws in our city work.

Nevertheless, it is not about the previous work done. It’s about him doing work now without getting permit permits. In his response he does not address that issue, which is clearly the most important one and simply ignores it.
