Good morning, I apologize for the delayed response, but after reviewing the property and violations in question, the violations on the property have been abated with permits.
Currently, there are no outstanding or current violations on the property, therefore, the property is in compliance with Harris County Regulations. Since a Certificate of Non-Compliance was never filed, a Certificate of Compliance will not be required. I hope this helps and if you need anything else, please let me know. Since we are working from home, email will be the fastest and easiest way to contact me. Thank you,
