After reading this, it reminded me of the call i had a few years ago, homeowner calls, and says, all i need is a licensed electrician to submit a permit, I said i was sorry but we don't just, seal permits, if we din't do the work, then i asked if he could explain, what the problem was, well i called almost every electrician in the book, and they all tell me the same thing, they will not do it, i asked who did the electrical work, and he said the guy was an electrician, but i paid him cash, and he said i din't need a permit, the city only uses premits to make money, and since no one else working on my basement got a permit, i figured it was the way they did it, now i am selling the house, and the home inspection noted, unprofessional electrical work, and they can't find a permit for the work, and it is holding up the sale, i called the building department and they said, if i can get contractors to seal the permits, they would issue them, but if i can't they will condem the job, which means i have to tear out the entire basement, and give the new owner a $110,000 credit.
A week later, there were two large dumpsters in front of the home.

The answers are probably right there.
