Oooppps it's really

Clinton failed to get required permits

Nice to be above the law

Bill and Hillary Clinton failed to get required permits for a rushed renovation of the house and grounds they recently bought next to their original Westchester home, it was reported Friday.

Records show that the Clintons’ contractors filled in an in-ground pool, covering it with gravel, and extensively remodeled the interior of the property — all without applying for permits and paying the required fees to the town of New Castle.

The couple were apparently in a rush to get the work done and demanded that it be finished before Thanksgiving, a contractor told town officials.

“He said they have to have it done by Thanksgiving. I said that’s nice but you still have to get the permits,” Building Inspector William Maskiell told The Post.

The couple, he added, face “several thousand dollars, at least,” in fees and penalties for failing to get the paperwork straight.

An unidentified tipster ratted out the Clintons, who plunked down $1.15 million in August for the 3,631-square-foot house, a deal first reported in The Post.

Maskiell inspected the Chappaqua property after getting the tip about the pool work and then discovered the other renovations that were under way.

He notified the Democratic presidential nominee and her hubby about the violations in a letter dated Oct. 17, according to the Journal News, which first disclosed the missing permits.

Attached to the letter was another document titled “Clinton Violation Inspection Report” in which Maskiell said the contractor told him the Clintons “were quite adamant about [the Thanksgiving deadline] and what had started as a paint job turned into this,” meaning the major renovation.
