Answer Rick:
I'm not sure where you live but the first place you will want to speak with is the Building Inspector for where you live.
Most phones books, I believe, have the "blue government" pages at the front of the book. Look in there for the Building Inspection department. If your town is really small and you can't find a number for the inspector then you can call the main number for general information or the Treasurer (as all towns or counties will have one as everyone has to pay real estate taxes in most places).
