What a joke. Making up rules as they go with complete disregard to reality.

What a Joke! No wonder this Covid 19 is spreading so fast again. If you get or have been exposed but have a vacation planned at a business like the Erie KOA camp site you are forced to still come there to camp or loose your money and owner of camp ground or Erie health can care less about exposure. So sad

Having a problem of sewage repeatedly spewing from a unused shower drain that my landlord has been zero help with , I think he’s about to find out once again , my friends have bigger badges . Between Health de partment , EPA and the “inner beltway “ he is going to regret underestimating my resolve once again , already $400 million in judgements against the city. Masks are recommended Wi-Fi is available ,and wheelchairs are fully Accesible .

One of the most useless departments in the Commonwealth. Unless you are willing to pay them off, they will deem your property unbuildable.
