I am betting that the remodel & addition of 753 SQ FT at a permit value of just shy of $144,000 makes this ‘remodel’ cost at $191.00 Per Sq Ft.
She added a bathroom—added a bedroom-—remodeled the KITCHEN and some other work, apparently adding another front door.
I smell a rat-—This ‘remodel’ was to ADD a RENTAL UNIT into the house that had it’s own entrance. AGAINST Palo Alto zoning rules.
Palo Alto & many other Bay area cities have a chronic problem of housing & many people are trying to pull off this kind of ‘rental unit’.
Other records show that 8 different people used that address....p0erhaps living in that rental unit???
This story is needing a full review...
Palo Alto Planning & Licensing board needs to examine what actually got done there.
I found the article I need and have forwarded it to my liberal relative (sister)
