Frequently Asked Questions

Can a stop-work order be resolved?

In most cases the path is the same: document what was built, provide the reports the jurisdiction asks for, and submit a permit that legalizes the work or lets it resume. The notice tells us where to start.

What do I need to send for a correction response?

The correction letter or checksheet, the current permit set and the permit number. SASHKOV reviews every comment, identifies which licensed consultants need to respond, and returns a plan for the resubmittal.
