I don't see how in the hell they can give a permit and then change the conditions of that same permit.This would be to easy to blow out of the water in court and hit the town with a suit.
John, it happens everyday....It's happened to me. Plus, I don't have the time to file suit and invest time and money it would require and the cities know it. I'm hounding the new mayor of our little town to change the culture of our small town czars, who believe thier building codes job is equal to Gods. And i'm in small town USA....I can't imagine the layers upon layers of gov't chit small business must endure in large cities.
barack obama has emboldened every two bit gov't employee in America. Remember the thread about the ADA changes? Yep, I've had the codes czar, the fire czar, the sewer czar, people who have no business inspecting my establishment in regards if there is enough room around a treadmill for a friggin wheelchair.
It is a round the clock battle......Then the little asses want a "deal" because they are a gov't employee.
