Appeal of Mary Hannahan/John Clifford to a Re-Inspection Fire Certificate of Occupancy With Deficiencies at 762 HOLLY AVENUE.
Purpose of Appeal
A misunderstanding occurred. My son John has been living in the home and making all the mortgage payments-always. It was purchased in my name because I could get a better % rate. We just last week learned that the property should be homesteaded by me for John. We have done that.
