Oil Tank Inspection Fee


Hey gang,

I got a letter from the Fire Department that I had to set up an appointment to have our oil tank inspected (we’re recent owners)… An inspector came in February, said everything looked great, then left. Cut to this week, when I received a “notice of pending fines and/or lien proceedings,” since I didn’t pay the $90.00 fee to have my tank inspected that no one had previously told me about.

Anyone have this happen? Is the $90 fee standard, in your recent experience?

Thanks!

Switching Architects


Hey everyone,

I have a really pressing question. We are mid-reno on a 3-to-1 family conversion, and are completely fed up with our architect. How difficult is it to change mid-stream? Does anyone have any experience with this?

I’ve heard rumor that if you do the DOB will review everything the first architect has self-certified up to this point (this took months for us the first time, hence our wanting to switch). Could that possibly be true?

Thanks so much!
