work a landlord can do. He stated he would have acquired a permit if he had
known it was needed; however, the Water Department told him it was okay to turn
on the water. Further discussion ensued regarding other work Mr. Hughes has done
and the requirements for permits at that time. Mr, Hughes stated he was not
licensed nor did he acquire permits for other work he has done in Tampa or for
