Repeal of Law Good for Honolulu Homeowners!

Act 228 which passed in the last legislative session was a mess. It required that any owner of a home 50 years or older, provide the State with archival photos of their home before any construction permit was granted.

“The repeal of Act 228 ends what some historic preservationists described as a well-intended but poorly executed effort to document Hawai’i’s architectural history.”

I knew a number of people that were attempting to get permits during the laws existence and it was adding at least 90 days to the permitting process.  90 days of additional interest, 90 days of lost marketing time, 90 wasted days! The repeal of the law will be good for Honolulu homeowners and the contracting business.  Hip-hip-hooray!
