Comments on: Questions About City Enforcement In Builders’ Paperwork Oversight http://instantnewswestu.com/2010/02/22/8099/ Constantly Updated Neighborhood News for West University, TX Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:35:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: W U Builder/Resident http://instantnewswestu.com/2010/02/22/8099/comment-page-1/#comment-500 W U Builder/Resident Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:11:14 +0000 http://instantnewswestu.com/?p=8099#comment-500 What you really want is professionalism on both sides, and the fact remains today, as it always has, that the responsibility for obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy lies with the builder/permit holder. In short, you want to be treated like a professional, you need to act like one. One also wonders where the Real Estate agents were in these transactions? I don't think I've ever sold a newly constructed home that the Certificate of Occupancy wasn't on the checklist of the buyer's agent.

I do hope that Covington and the others get their paperwork in order, but Covington's homes are a credit to West U and he shouldn't lose his license. Hopefully, this results in a professionalizing of our city's inspection process. It seems like that's well underway. As expected, with some additional digging, a lot of the fault lies with the city.
