So here's how it went down for getting the At Risk Permit. You have to be on the docket for a BZA meeting to secure your variance. With that date in hand, you then sign a letter saying that you want an At Risk Permit and drop it to the City Building folks. One catch: IF you don't get your variance from BZA, any work you have performed must be demolished within 30 days. Big IF huh?
For me, I didn't see the downside in At Risk. There were no grounds to be denied, so I figured this whole BZA thing was just a formality. Real downside was waiting an extra month and then having the house in shambles while Wendy is going mental preparing for school to start. No competition on what I should do.
Plan was to charge forward with plans and go to the June 6 BZA for variance approval. That meant my real focus needed to be getting the architectural plans finalized, with structural engineer's letter, to get my At Risk Permit. Sound crazy? I'm sure many thought so.
