The family claims they just just paid a contractor, and the contractor went ahead and built it without permits.
It is an unfortunate situation for this elderly couple, but I do have to suspect that the contractor had the blessing of the family, considering that one of the kids is a lawyer who should have known better and advised her parents. OTOH the size is supposedly comparable to some other structures in the neighbourhood, which to a certain extent illustrates the sometimes arbitrary nature of the permit process.
