In March 1991, the County issued Taylor-Morley a notice that the residence, as constructed, contained certain violations of the County’s building codes and ordinances. When Taylor-Morley failed to respond to this notice, the County issued a final notice of the violations in April 1991. When the County informed Taylor-Morley of its intent to bring an action to force the abatement of the violations, Taylor-Morley applied for and was granted a permit to build the residence in accordance with the amended plans. Green was unaware of Taylor-Morley’s application for such a permit. In July 1991, Green requested from Taylor-Morley a copy of the permit and a written proposal for correcting the code violations. Taylor-Morley gave Green a copy of the permit, but its attempts to contact Green about performing the remedial work were unsuccessful. Taylor-Morley did not perform the work to abate the violations.
