Issues in Homes That Require Professional Legalization
Unpermitted plumbing work can lead to serious legal and safety concerns. Whether you unknowingly added plumbing fixtures without permits or inherited violations from a previous owner, professional legalization can help you ensure compliance and avoid penalties.
Common issues that require legalization services in New York state include:
- Unpermitted kitchens: Single-family homes in New York state are only allowed one kitchen. Additional kitchens in basements or upper floors may require removal or legalization.
- Unpermitted bathrooms: Bathrooms added without permits, particularly in basements or upper floors, must meet New York state plumbing codes.
- Cross-connections: Improper connections between potable and non-potable water sources can lead to contamination.
- Backflow prevention issues: Missing or faulty backflow devices can allow contaminated water to enter the clean water supply.
- Improper drainage: Incorrect pipe slopes, inadequate drainage sizes, or improper fixture drainage can lead to violations.
- Illegal connections: Unauthorized modifications to plumbing systems or unapproved connections to municipal water or sewer lines must be addressed.
- Lack of permits or inspections: Any plumbing work performed without the necessary permits or inspections needs to be brought into compliance.
