What is the name of your state? PA
Local town insists on annual inspections of apartments, at rates that rival the hourly wages of doctors.
After paying the fees, the inspector would schedule out nearly a year or so - payment in beginning of the year, inspection at the end of the year. If I called I would get an abrupt, loud and cold "We call you, you don't call.us."
Ok, wait for the call.
2016 payments are made, and the year passes by with no call. 2017 payments are made, and the year passes with no inspection.
This year I ask for a copy of the U&Os for 2016 and 2017. Personal visit resulting in a promise to mail, but it never showed. Reveal phone calls over the weeks each resulting.in a promise to email, but no email.
Now when I call I am directed to the inspector. Inspector hot and bothered, blustery, stating the precious year must have slipped through the cracks. When I ask for the 2016 U&O, which I am confident does not exist as it never happened, I.am.told that would be provided only AFTER the new inspection for 2018.
Everything is stonewalled until after there is a new inspection.
----
What are the legal imolications? If the township accepted payment and never furnished the inspections,what does that equate.to legally? I expect at a minimum a refund for all the payments.This is also an inspector.who will make life difficult at will, so push buttons on the missed U&O and suddenly he will throw vague and expensive repairs or try to shut down.
I am not picking a fight - need to know what the responsibilities and risks are to both parties.
