no permit window replacement 4

My neighbor replaced his windows without a permit last summer, and now the city is making him rip everything out. The inspector came by after a complaint, and he's facing fines plus having to redo the whole job properly. It's a mess, and it's costing him way more than if he had just gotten the permit first. Now he can't sell his house until it's resolved.
