Hi, I'm in similar situation. I need to update electrical box. I'm planning on knocking down walls to open up the kitchen and finishing the basement.(just tile floors drywall outlets hi hats.) Will I have problems selling the home if I don't permits?

Kitchen no, basement could be an issue if it's a big bank. Unless you plan to sell in the next few years who cares finish it and enjoy it and if you sell in 10-15 years you got your moneys worth and get it legal then or just tear it down to it's unfinished state.

REALLY BAD ADVICE. Legalizing after the fact is often more costly by a mile. Not only do you have to pay the penalty for the permit, but if the codes have changed you must bring them up to current code and that can be very costly depending upon what it is that needs to be legalized.
If you scroll down to page 2 and 3 you will have your answer. Forget about the height, it is all about breaking the plane of the building line and that is not allowed in the front.
Hi all - I know this is an old thread but I just referenced the link and was unable to find anymore information. Anyone aware of how to locate the updated details.

I must caution you that because it is in the picture means nothing other than they have not caught you. You are new so a short synopsis of my fence sage. Bought in '97 ....hosue came with C/A, closed not problem with title, attorney or survey which showed a/c unit. Reno'd kitchen in 98, added breakfast room new survey needed. A/c still on survey. In 2011 my neighbor took down a fence and replaced it with PVC. I decided to follow suit. Filed permits for the fence and that was when I was turned down due to an illegal A/C (no permit). Between permits and penalties, electrical underwriters, Nassau county ONLY electricians, and then a variance, with of course penalties. It cost me, if memory serves me,$1400 for 2 parts that in a local electrical supply house in a ritzy neighborhood might have been $100 and at HD maybe $75.
Essentially, if it is put there and does not belong they can make you tear it out. Redo you stuff and forget about the permits is my advice.
Literally same boat as you. Lived here 10 years, bought home with CaC, even the Land Record Viewer notes central air, but as I submitted survey for new driveway, they noticed the AC and looked up ‘permit history’ and found none for the CaC.
Like what the hell? I’m sure the unit had been there years if not decades before we moved in.
