Upon receipt of your letter today, please see enclosed Section 113.0 out of the
Mass. State Building Code. I find it had to believe that a licensed contractor does
not know that a building permit is required for a sky light installation. Also it
was not just the replacement of an existing window in the beroom, an opening above it
was also created and replaced with glass.
If within ten (10) days an application for a building permit has not been filed
with our office, I will have no other choice but to place a "Cease and Desist" notice
on the structure and it will have to be vacated until we determine if the structure is
safe for occupancy.
