Update on that commercial dumpster permit mess in Detroit
I needed a new dumpster for my cleaning business's bigger jobs, so I applied for the permit through the city's online portal. The site said it would take five business days, but after two weeks of nothing, I called. They told me my application was 'stuck' in a review queue because of a new rule about distance from fire hydrants. It took three more weeks of calling every other day and finally going down to the municipal office in person to get it sorted. Has anyone else hit this kind of delay with city services lately?

Stuck in a review queue" for a dumpster? That's a new one. I can't believe it took going down there in person after all that calling.

Wait, they made you wait three weeks over a fire hydrant rule? That's crazy, my neighbor got a dumpster last year and they just dropped it in the driveway same week. How can a rule no one knew about cause that much of a backup?
