Expect emergency changes to codes and standards. We live in an era and society were there are mostly reactions, not pro-actions.
Well, sometimes not true. We are required to get a permit from the NYC Fire Dept to use haze and smoke. After some initial teething issues, the FDNY is seemingly now doing what no other NYC agency knows how to do - take initiative. Thus they come out every month and give us our monthly permit, and we don't even have to call, they just show up !. They did this for November and December, but I'm thinking they might slip for January as it's a holiday week, etc...
It's almost like somebody paid somebody off, or had an in with the Mayor or something, or paid off the Mayor.
