What is the name of your state? California, Los angeles
I (home owner) added on to my house without a permit and hired a friend to perform the construction who is not a licenced contractor, more of a part time handyman. I wasn't sure about property line issues and or set back issues which my friend said might be a problem but wasn't sure either. I went ahead anyway. There were no plans or contracts. Two months later after most of the work was done, building and safety sends me a letter to tear down or comply. Is my friend, who i hired liable? If so how?What is the name of your state?
