I live in Pinellas County FL and I recently hired a GC to enclose a screened in porch and extend it 5' to match the end of my house. I do not live at that location so I have not been there to over see the work being done. He is now out of town due to the holidays and unreachable. The work is continuing, however, I am seriously concerned that he did not pull any permits for the work. Whose responsibility is it to file the correct paperwork and who is held legally responsible if he is in fact working without a permit on the job?
