running a day care on those premises and that the building did not meet the building code

for occupancy by a day care.
Mr. Roland McMichael, Chief Plumbing Inspector of the Mobile County Health
Department, arrived on the scene and stated that no plans had been received by his
department for a day care center and no plumbing permit was issued for the location. He
stated that the facility did not meet the present plumbing code for day care operations. He
also noted that the building was on an onsite waste disposal system. Since Mrs. Stokes

Stokes stated that she did no have a key. She called the owner of the building who came

establishment and that it was very much out of code. Ms. Stokes insisted that Mr. Boren

had given her permission and that the paper he gave her was her permission.

door. When Inspectors Boren and Stephens arrived, I showed them this room in the
