[framk1218]

We are looking to remodel our kitchen and rooms on first floor in a home we just purchased in Hewlett. Are permits needed? We do not intend to rmeove appliances, just replace them and the cabinets, we will be ripping down some damaged walls and replacing them as well. Thanks for your help.

Hewlett is one of those many villages and hamlets were the majority of the places with the community name in their mailing address are not in the hamlet.
