I haven’t seen any alternatives suggested except for social workers, which is not the right answer in this case. What alternatives are available that don’t involve law enforcement? We have similar situations in Little Violetville/Saint Agnes. Who can we call other than law enforcement?

Thoughts from a contractor who pulls permits on every job:

-If you have already purchased the home and it passed a pre-purchase inspection you are just opening a can of worms that is going to just cause you a lot of aggravation and money. My experience with home inspectors is that they are all more nitpicky to cover themselves than any City/ County inspector is.

-There are entire states in this country that do not have any trade licensing/ permitting in place. Its more a way to protect contractors from competition and provide another revenue stream to local government than it is to protect the public.
