Approved.  The only section that was up for review was space B. No spray painting. Refusal had an error on it and the lawyer sent an updated refusal. There were some residents complaining about space A which is another applicant who got an over the counter permit for the rooming house; however, our State Rep. said that he will do a follow up with that.
