I live in Fairfax County in Virginia as well. If the county says that your business is violating a fire code, then I suggest you follow their recommendations. They can slap you with zoning violations and charge you with fines if you do not cooperate. Worse, they can close your business, or make it very hard for you to operate the business. Unless you have the resources to fight it out with the county, I suggest you start to make changes in your body shop and follow their recommendations to make your business compliant with the fire code. This may not be what you want to hear, but you have to realize that you may be in for greater liabilities in the event that a fire broke out from your shop -- even though you have already been warned that your shop is not fire code compliant. I hope your business has insurance.

I am sorry for you loss.\n\nCall the county firefighter station, this is what I did from there you also need to contact the police department. Those two places should be able to give you all the information available.

More than likely really expensive. The E.P.A. "Enviromental Protecton Agency" I would be more worried getting a ticket from those guy's vs. some state.

Ask the current land lord to have the furnace checked by an authorized repair person at the land lords cost.  This is a common saftey request and your land lord should be open to it.  Make sure you are present with the repair person so they can give you the best advise on how the system works.  If you land lord is not open to having safety issues checked, get a new place.  I personally own three rental properties

to correct information put out by the press or media, i would imagine you could contact them and ask about a retraction, as for the cops i don't see them doing anything as it is not their area to handle these kinds of matters. If the publicity causes pain and problems for you Godson, then it becomes a legal matter and getting an atty. probably will be the best answer for a resolution. Best of luck.

Here's the website with instructions on how and where to complain to the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation in Virginia.  This is the organization that regulates real estate agents in Virginia.\n\nhttp://www.state.va.us/dpor/enfocomp.htm

No, you are not breaking any laws by doing that. Just make sure that in your description you list the items that are in it...ex. Milkbone Dog Biskits.  As far as the candles...make sure that you package them properly and you won't be responsible if their house burns down (include all warnings).  The bad part about your own business is that even if you include a label saying your company can not be held liable for things...it won't hold up in court unless the person has signed a paper agreeing to it (which isn't likely to happen seeing as the basket would more than likely be for someone other than the person who bought it).  I suggest you contact a small business lawyer before opening your business to make sure you have done everything on your part that you can to protect your business.  Good Luck.

Look at CA vehicle code 27604 and 27605. You will find your answer.

First off, you demonstrated your intelligence and good business sense by getting a second opinion.  Something that is always a good idea when dealing with a business like auto repair which is as populated by hard working ethical business people as it is by cheats and thieves.\n\nSecond, this may sound too "California" for you, but from my own experiences dealing with disreputable people, it is important not to let all of that negative energy become all consuming.  It is not good for one's health and can effect your judgment in other areas.\n\nThird, you do have a legitimate gripe and you should take some action to see that others are not taken in by this individual.  Some ideas:\n-Report them to the better business bureau\n-Send an email to your local news, they often cover scam artists to try and help people\n-Report them bsuienss to the Emissions Agency, I'm not sure what state you live in, but here the business can lose their license for this kind of fraud and deceipt and this is a big deal, they make a lot of money on the inpections which bring many potential customers to them.\n\nThe last option is probably the closest thing to "revenge" I would recommend.  Anything more extreme will probably just result in further frustrating you with a situation that has already caused you a great deal of distress.  Take one, or all of these actions and then move on to the more positive things in your life.

My fire department does not charge for legit ems / fire runs   however repeated false alarms (ie. college kids pulling pull stations) will result in a $250 fine.  \n\n\nother than that we are supported 100% by property taxes.

Contact your County Commissioner if in the County or City Hall in town. Cities have ordinances. Counties use a "health and Safety Code". Not sure what the departments are titled in your state but it's probably the same.

I'm a firefigher in downtown philadelphia (lots of high rises) and i've never heard of that before work or non-work related.  Might have been marked by window washers? or maybe marking windows that need to be replaced?  Or could be a practical joke? Is the tape on the inside or outside of the window????

None that I know of--- that was a problem -- I notice when I worked for the County as a dispatcher.\n\nPerhaps you should contact your precinct commissioner and have him bring this issue to the next meeting. Maybe they can create a loud music/noise ordinance that sets some guidelines for residences located within so many feet of each other.\n\n*Better yet, attend the next commissioners meeting and formally go on record with your request.

Not knowing what your local laws are.... I would contact your local law enforcement agency and see what they are willing to do to help you.  They might tell you it's a civil problem and give you a direction to follow.

people may not realize but cars can give interference with electronics.  If your practice room is close to the street you may want to change rooms.  I think it has something to do with the newer ignitions, but I am a daughter of a mechanic, not a mechanic myself.

Have you come across potential customers that required it ???  Until you start hiring people, and are responsible for them, I wouldn't worry about it.   If someone requires it, then contact any local cleaning service and ask them who their insurance company is.   YOUR #1 CUSTOMER
