Dear Dale Forde,
Thank you for providing what I believe is a permit application for an AC unit. There was nothing else in the document provided. Is this permit application this only document on file for 22 Franklin? I don't see a closed permit for this AC unit nor any other documents. Please provide all opened and closed permits for 22 Franklin. Likewise, we are looking for confirmation that the basement was finished with permits/approvals. There is a finished basement at the property and we need to confirm that it was finished legally and per code.
Yours sincerely,
Margarita Golden

Dear Dale Forde,
Thank you. Please check the property records for the finished basement work. The basement was either finished when the house was built or it was finished later in time. We need to confirm that the basement was finished with approvals.
Yours sincerely,
Margarita Golden
