Jack Wolf has taken about $10,000 of our money to close out/legalize unpermitted work. This nightmare has been going on for about two years now. Recently, he has disappeared. We have called, texted, and emailed him with no response. He's nowhere to be found and left us with open permits, which is the reason we hired him. He is completely unprofessional and a highly recommend you do NOT hire this man.

We purchased a home in Pompano Beach in 2018. Since we paid cash we weren't aware that there were four old building permits that weren't closed. When we sold the property in October 2020 new buyers needed financing but could not get a loan on a home with open permits. Closing old building permits with the City of Pompano Beach is very complex and time consuming. Jack Wolf, owner, managed the entire process seamlessly for us--and was able to get old AC, plumbing, mechanical and roof permits handled in just several weeks. Communication was excellent. If you need permits closed Jack is a consummate professional in this regard. He knows how to navigate the City bureaucracy and also has a stable of vendors that can come and effect the repairs needed too. Hands down Jack is an expert in this field of endeavor. Jack is a "10" in my book.

Jack was very professional and attentive. He always answered his phone and my questions. He had full transparency throughout this process which can be a headache. Thank you so much for your help Jack!
Response from OPEN PERMIT SERVICES
"Thank you for those supporting words [Member Name Removed]. Yes, we did encounter a few hurdles along the way, and communication with the building department was difficult at times. However, everyone came through for us and, in the end, the results were just what we hoped for. Thank you again."

Jack Wolf is excellent at what he does. The task of getting my permit closed was a huge one, I had tried to do it on my own and failed. It took several months but he did it. I highly recommend Open Permit Services.

I talked to at least 10 different professionals and none of them had the understanding or expertise I needed to close out an old screen enclosure permit. And then I got lucky and found Open Permit Services and Jack Wolf. Jack is a complete and total professional. He responded immediately, explained the entire process clearly, worked seamlessly with the Palmetto Bay Building & Permitting Department and was very reasonably priced. I'm a real estate broker so making my clients happy is very, very important to me; who I hire is a reflection on me and the quality of my own work. If any of my future clients are unlucky enough to have an open permit issue I will not hesitate to recommend Open Permit Services & Jack Wolf.

"Thank you [Member Name Removed]. It's usually the property owner who is so thankful for the work we do. However, when another professional such as yourself sees the value in our service, it makes it all the more worthwhile. I appreciate our new business relationship."

I hadn't thought of this building permit in years until I started thinking about selling my place and realized uh oh I had better do something about it. I made a couple of calls to my local building department who told me the bad news that it had to be closed. Most of the folks I spoke to wouldn't touch this issue with a ten-foot pole. I finally found Jack's company. He did it you took care of the open building permit in charge me a reasonable amount of money I referred him to everyone I know it's nice to know that a resource like this is out there. Good job Jack and thank you

These were very old open permits back from 30 years ago! and Jack was able to close the all in a very smooth and super timely way. So if you are looking to close permits and avoid all headaches Jack is your guy!

The process could not have gone any smoother. Jack was spectacular from the first phone call to the last email. He explained the steps in great detail and was always available for my many questions. I appreciated his patience and explanations. My home passed in the first inspection even though the item we needed a permit for was installed more than 15 years ago. He made sure that one of his team members came out to take pictures and do a mock inspection to resolve any issues that would have come up during the city inspection. I am very impressed by Jack and OPS.

The process is a challenge, especially dealing with older permits from the County & City. Jack and his team made it very easy for us. Handled it very professionally and made us aware of the process throughout. Happy with the result, especially since it was all completed before the sale of our property. Thank you for everything.

OWED A REFUND OF $925 I hired Jack Wolf from OPS to close out a permit for one of the properties I manage. I paid $1500 up front. Within 24 hours I advised Jack via email and via phone call that the property had sold/closed cash deal and the buyers were purchasing it with all of its skeletons. He told me I owed him $575.00 for a research fee (WOW) and that I would receive a refund of $925. This was in the beginning of April. To today, he has not responded to my emails since 04/15 and he doesn't answer or reply to my text. Very unprofessional!

Fantastic great, within 5 days of following Jack Wolf's directions everything was closed and i am now able to go forward with my closing.. I doubt anyone else even the inspectors were in awe of how fast he got the job done. Great work Jack Wolf i won't forget you .. Norman Eisenberg PA PS DON;'T FORGET TOO THAT THE 4TH OF JULY HOLIDAY WAS SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS ANGST.. I DOUBT ANYONE ELSE COULD HAVE GOTTEN THE JOB DONE THIS QUICKLY AND INEXPENSIVELY. (NORMALLY TO RE INSPECT A HOME AND GET A PERMIT LET ALONE 4 PERMITS WOULD RUN IN THE AREA OF $500 EACH SO I PAID A BARGAIN PRICE.

The project was extremely urgent because the condo unit was under contract pending closing. Jack Wolf is the president of Open Permit Services Miami Florida, specializing in the closure of open building permits and code violations. Jack personally handled all aspects of the project including initial searches, applications, coordinating multiple inspections, working with selling agents and taking my multiple phone calls that were usually made in panic. Navigated through the complexity and the bureaucracy of city and building departments and got the job done. Thank you Jack, you were always patient and cooperative.

Mr. Wolf was exceptional. He was timely in his work, explained to me, in a way that I could understand, everything that needed to be done to comply with city regulations. He returned all my phone calls immediately in a very professional manner and got the job done. If you have an open permit in your home or business, he is the man to call. Thank you Mr. Wolf.

I called Mr. Wolf from Open permit, not really knowing what to expect. I had a situation I was unfamiliar with and needed it resolved ASAP. Jack was AMAZING! He explained the process, help me throughout, kept me informed and finished ahead of schedule. Can't ask for more than that. Highly professional service that we strongly recommend.

Jack Wolf is professional, responsive, and highly knowledgeable in the field. The open permit was closed within a week, and the liens were negotiated to less than 10% of what was owed, and satisfied within two weeks. Throughout both, Jack maintained open communication, answering all of my questions.

Excellent. He helped me get the inspection done/permit closed in unbelievable time. Sales of two homes were pending on this and he made it happen. This man is a true professional, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him at all. Plus, he's a nice guy to boot. Don't find that too often these days! Please, if you find yourself in need of a wing man...Jack has your back. Jokes aside, simply put, he's the BEST!!!

As a Realtor, this is the third time that I've used Jack Wolf at Open Permit Services to assist in closing out a permit that was either open or expired. This last expired permit situation was quite complex since this permit had expired in 2000 and was related to concrete joist repairs underneath a home. He was so knowledgeable, professional and fast that the permit issue was resolved faster than the attorneys, sellers, buyers or the Realtors involved ever imagined. He's just the best around. I would enthusiastically recommend using him. There is no question that I'll be using him again when confronted with another permit issue.
Response from OPEN PERMIT SERVICES
"Thanks so much for such an enthusiastic report. It'[Member Information Removed] very rewarding when a client of ours understands and appreciates our efforts. Part of the solution is the cooperation we receive from the client and you, too, get a grade of "A" for that. Thank you again, jack"

With Jack's expertise and some bit of luck..... and several weeks later, he was able to make a miracle happen and got the permit opened, approved, inspected and closed! The closing went through on schedule and I am one happy client. I would not hesitate to recommend Open Permit Services for anyone having this problem selling their property or purchasing a property. Job well done!

Jack handled all the process for us of closing open permits from the previous home owner. Jack kept us informed of the process and explained everything in the process. Jack was professional and answered all of our questions. With the stress and work that goes into moving into a new home it was one less thing to worry about.
Response from OPEN PERMIT SERVICES
"(member name removed), that you so much for the kind words. It's always a pleasure to work with people who understand and appreciate what goes into resolving these building code violations. Again, enjoy your new home and know that I'm always available to assist or guide you in other matters regarding home ownership."
