Laurie,
 
Any repair work that you have done or doing yourself has some form of
documentation (receipts/invoices/any permits filed).  Take pictures along
the way.  It wouldn't hurt to formally notify the safety and permits office
so there is a record of your activity on file.
 
Good luck and God Bless,
Craig

What is considered "getting the work started"?  Does it mean a signed
contract with a contractor?  We are doing some of the work ourselves and
contracting some out to others.  We have gotten a new roof already, window's
and doors are ordered, is this considered having started the work?  I don't
think the guys that did the roof got a permit that I know of.  Is "getting
the work started" mean going and getting a permit so it will be on file with
the proper agency?

Thanks,

Laurie
