Crawl spaces are generally 18 to 24 inches. Are they very short people? There are seldom fines for such things. The space can't be sold as or included in total square footage of the home. Occasionally a permit can be obtained after a build, but only if every single thing is up to code and the county doesnt employ power hungry tyrants. There are lots and lots of basement and garage and built in porch conversions that do not have official building permits.

There is not....he had it checked last year when the drive way cracked. That was ruled normal with no need for concern by three different companies who looked at the driveway and foundation of the house

I thought so too... But there's honestly no issues with the entire apartment in any capacity. He freaked out last year when the driveway cracked he thought there might be foundation issues but three separate companies came and did a bunch of testing on his property and they found absolutely zero foundation issues. They even came and look inside of his apartment in the main house and like it was fine.
