WE were not broken into again. We finally got all the necesary permits to rebuild what they tore up in the spring. We are still open, you just need to follow the safety tape to a different door to enter.
Isnt it a kick in the teeth that you cant put back what was there before without a permission slip from .gov? Adding on or improving? Yes. I can sometimes understand. But doing a repair? (especially to the extent you are building; a vestibule. Its not like you guys are adding on to the showroom!)
my company just renovated a building and were forced to install a sidewalk along the frontage due to recent updates in the law. If you build or improve you must add a sidewalk if one doesnt already exist. So now there is a 20' stretch of sidewalk on the street where absolutely zero sidewalk exists for the entire rest of the street. Its like a bridge to nowhere. And by the time anyone else renovates and actually makes the sidewalk relevant, We'll need to rip it out and repair it due to age.
