Building Permit Building Closed Due to Lack of Building Permit

The City of Dallas, Texas, like most cities, regulates the construction of new buildings in its jurisdiction. The permit office is in the process of moving to a new 11-storey facility. Staff had already started to move in but have, NBC 5 News reports, been forced to return to its old facility.

That's because the new building is not up to code. It lacks an occupancy permit and so, of course, cannot be occupied. The confusion is causing delays in the office issuing occupancy permits for the rest of Dallas, as well as, apparently, itself.

At least they are not hypocrites. So gotta give some props to that. Right.

Excellent little piece that summarizes the situation with organic foods while still providing actionable information.

As someone who works for an organic produce retailer just wanted to point out that even after organic produce reaches the store it must remain 100% separate from conventional items. Different sides of the cooler, different pallets. And on the shelf they cannot touch, they're usually on entirely different display or divided by plastic barriers. If an organic item touches a conventional one it can no longer be sold as organic. We've been known to peel off the produce stickers from OG lemons that fall onto CV apples and sell them with the CV lemons to lessen the loss.
