4122 Kensington Avenue – PERMIT FOR PROPOSED WELDING OF RAILINGS (GENERAL INDUSTRIAL) IN SPACE B AND PROPOSED AUTO MECHANIC SHOP TO INCLUDE SPRAY PAINTING (PERSONAL VEHICLE REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE) AND (VEHICLE PAINT FINISHING SHOP) IN SPACE A IN THE SAME BUILDING WITH EXISTING ROOMING UNITS (SINGLE ROOM RESIDENCE) AS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED IN AN EXISTING STRUCTURE. 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.
