Existing-unit service lane
ADU legalization review grounded in records and current conditions
A legalization request starts with a gap between an existing condition and the documentation available for it. The first responsible step is to establish what exists, what records say, what remains unknown, and which questions require official or professional review.
Orientation
The record and the physical condition must be reviewed together
An existing unit may involve prior work, incomplete records, changed conditions, or assumptions passed between owners. The workflow does not fill those gaps with a confident narrative.
Instead, it builds an evidence index, identifies conflicts, routes discipline questions, and gives OwnerReview a clear basis to authorize only the next bounded step.
Scope anatomy
What the legalization lane organizes
Record inventory
Available official documents and their dates are indexed without treating absence as proof of any conclusion.
Current-condition evidence
Appropriate observations and documentation are separated from historical assumptions.
Mismatch register
Differences between records, observed conditions, and owner understanding are made visible for review.
Review path
Official questions and professional-discipline questions are assigned before any proposed response is treated as scope.
Evidence needs
Inputs for a defensible legalization review
This public surface does not accept an address, documents, or project facts. It explains the evidence categories an authorized workflow would organize.
- Available official records and their source dates
- Appropriate current-condition documentation
- Known history labeled by source and confidence
- A mismatch register with unresolved questions
- OwnerReview decision on the next bounded review action
Decision path
A bounded path from intent to owner-reviewed action
Inventory evidence
List records and current-condition material without resolving gaps by assumption.
Reconcile mismatches
Route conflicts to official or professional review and preserve unresolved status.
Authorize one next step
Use OwnerReview to bound the next investigation or coordination action.
