do town employees make that much? I'm curious because they sure don't act like it with their grumpy demeanor every time you go in there. I still recall the time I asked to borrow a pen for 2 seconds and they looked at me like I asked them to get me some coffee.

patio pavers do not need a permit in Islip Town. Any wood deck that is less than 18 inches off the ground does not need a permit nor does it need railings. Again this is in Islip Town.

I think that's a criteria for working for a municipality, isn't it? My sister went to GC village hall a couple years ago for her own CO issue and the woman was busy preparing her breakfast. She told my sister "I'll just be a few minutes" while she got her coffee and cut and buttered her bagel. In my next like I'm coming back as a civil servant. I'll even live on Long Island

It's not against the law to be sick if he shows up, without a search warrant he can not gain lawful entry. Unless there is an extergent circumstance, gas leak ect, or overt safety issue which could affect the safety of others. In the meantime, draft up your own contingency plan to correct the violations, and be prepared to fight any attempt to issue you any violations that existed when you brought the property.

Yes, you can deny him access as he does not have a specific issue inside the house. If he insists, call the police and have him removed or charged with trespassing.

In a CAPITALIST system, the best, the brightest, most focused, most motivated, most creative, most driven individuals are QUICKLY absorbed into the PRIVATE SECTOR.
Those that remain can only seek employment in the PUBLIC SECTOR or go on welfare.

thank you all for your replies. just for the record the deck is part of a hi-ranch house, but still i don't see any reason why he would want to get inside, except to snoop for more violations. i think when the inspector does come to the house, i'll ask him if he is legal right to enter the home in order to discuss how to correct the outstanding violations or if he just wants to get inside to find if there are other violations. if he says the law doesn't require him to enter the house, i'll refuse entry.

Once she bought the house she also took on the liability of pre-existing violations. The smart thing to do is to make the seller cure them before purchasing the house.

Default Play the religious card

Tell the inspector he can't enter your house because of religious reason.

Dont ask him, he'll come up with some excuse. Just refuse him entry, plain and simple.
