The City and the County have not maintained all the records; in other words, the residential building record is incomplete. If there is a building permit for the primary residence, then an existing accessory unit, providing it meets health and safety standards, should be allowed by right.

Most of the existing illegal units aren't up to code and require some work to comply which means it will cost those owners money to comply and many are not eager to do it.
