Amnesty would be much appreciated. It is also the fair and right thing to do. Many of us who purchased our homes thirty five or more years ago may not be aware of new codes. From what I read it seems we could be penalized today for something that was not a violation when we bought our house in the '70's, 60's etc.

I totally agree with you George. We are being penalized for things that were done to our homes long before we purchased them. I recently had to apply for a permit for my furnace and hot water tank, which were both in the house when I purchased it almost 20 years ago. The reason? "In 1938 it shows your home had a coal furnace." What???? Are they kidding me??

The TONH should be under some investigation for charging such a high fee for a very short summerRead More season. You lose most of june and the pool closes in early September. Better off paying as you go just purchase the parking permit which is good at the Manorhaven Pool and the Harbor beach. Stop buying a season pass in protest to the yearly excessive price increase.

And speaking of investigations, what's up with Jonny's Roslyn CC fiasco?
