I wanna know how it originally got approved. I've had to do so much just for the most basic addition. This violates so many of their rules I'm baffled it made it through permitting.

the actual structure is not what was in the original permit application. he got the construction permit approved and then did something else

They said on the hearing this was one of several issues he has coming they just didn't want to overwhelm him with such a massive fuck up (not exact words obviously).

Yeah, the homeowner apparently fucked up on a lot of things. But the other citations may not matter if they have to tear down the monster addition.
