Just want to say thanks for any advice in advance.
Here's my problem, I bought a o.d grinding shop last August, while everything was going through I had a hard time finding a building well I found one that was in the back of another business. it was a mess but had a half loading dock and 3 phase. And the I asked the owner if it was zoned for commercial he said yes!! So I asked again your sure this is zoned m1 or light manfacturing? Again he said yes. So trusting him like an idiot I move in took about 2 weeks of just clean up and fixing the roof windows ceiling and installing new 3 phase panel and running all the wires which I paid someone to do. I'm in this about $12,000 not counting rent I've paid so far.
Well as soon as I move equipment in get them hooked up and running neihbors start to complain and have a 24"x24" Polaroid of the machines sitting on semi and turn it into city. He assures me everything is fine and they are just nosey, then informs me not to use my front door to use his and walk through his shop. So more time goes on I keep getting harassed by neihbors. I tell him I need to move a lathe in I bought so I can make industrial crankshafts on my whole goal from the beginning he says no way that will cause to much gripe from the neihbors and also informs me that when I get parts to walk them through his shop which is a b#%#%#. Last week I had a guy working for me and another guy showed up to fix heater, owner comes back yelling again that I have to many people coming in and out and that will raise red flags. So at this point idk what to do because I have alot of work coming can't hook lathe up or move crankshaft grinder in.
My family has never sued anyone and so I just wasn't raised that way but what is your guys opinion? I mean 12,000 would really help me out plus cost of renting forklift, semi machine down time ect. Oh then today fire Marshall stopped and told me no way can you have a shop back here. I can't find another building to rent so I'm looking at trying to get a business loan and buy a shop or land and put a building up making sure it's zoned COMMERCIAL!!!! But that raises other questions which type of building pole, block or steel framing I live in central ohio.
And if you havnt already figured it out by now he isn't zoned properly found that out a month ago. But it's like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel getting big contracts but also feeling a 1000 miles apart. Sorry it's so long I'm just lost and any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Ryan
