Frank Celantano was sworn in. He admitted the allegations to be true and agreed 60 days would be enough time to get the permits and make the corrections.
Investigator Coss said this was a 4 unit building and does qualify as a commercial structure. However the owner-builder exemption applies to commercial structures with 4 units or more when the entire building is owned and utilized by the owner. At this time his daughter is the only occupant so the other two units would have to remain vacant for at least a year and the stairs would need drawings. If Mr. Celantano hires a contractor to pull the permits and do the work he can then rent out the other units.
Mr. Celantano said he would hire a contractor. He said he would hire a contractor and do whatever it would take.
