    Tricky situation with permit

    To reiterate what most have advised: Better to go to your permit office and simply explain the miscommunication, than risk corrective enforcement in the future...which could include demolition of what could be deemed an unlawful structure.

    Renter gets kicked out of apartment by County after landlord defies zoning laws and court order

    I didn't have a chance to read the entire article, however it appears the tenant has a good chance at winning a civil suit against the landlord...if he chooses to exercise that option.

    What is the one thing you think your permit counter can do a better job of?

    I think sometimes we have a “No” or “You should already know this” culture. We have stations and that has helped, but nothing goes further, in my humble opinion, than a genuine willingness to assist! Customer Service is very underrated these days.
