No Rigging Permit; What do I do?
The contractor I hired to re-do the brownstone on the front of my house neglected to get a rigging permit for his scaffold. We have been served with a stop work order and a hearing is scheduled for Nov. 19th. I have also been written up for not getting permission before hanging "C" hooks on the roof. What do I do? I assume I'd better lawyer up. The contractor has been very hard to get hold of and I am getting worried.

Locksmith recommendations?
I have a few things I need a locksmith to repair/re-install: a downstairs gate lock, a back door lock, etc. My downstairs tenant just got completely scammed by a 24-hour locksmith she called out of the Yellow pages, so I'd like to get a recommendation of a reputable locksmith for service in the Carroll Gardens area. Thanks!

Locksmith prices!
I needed a locksmith this morning. He promptly came over and of course said my cylinder was broken. He charged me - wait for it - $626.66!375 for a Yale lock. 195 for security cylinder - 45 for installation - had the nerve to add on service call at 45 which I had him remove and wanted cash! I gave him a check which was the only thing he could do. Oh I get 12% percent discount because I had his card. Was I completely ripped off? If so, should I cancel the check? Not something I would normally do but I am still reeling from the shock!

HaHaYourDadsNotHandy: Thank you. I used Andy, from Miguel's. He did a fine job and the job went smooth as silk. I spent 350 for a pair of knob locks keyed alike and a repair of an existing lock. Not dirt cheap but not crazy either.
