Here is one for all you sinners....

A man, his girlfriend and her three children recently bought a house in Black Jack in north St. Louis County. But because Toi Pruitt and Joe Pulliam and the children don’t meet the town’s definition of a family, they couldn’t get an occupancy permit.



Maybe Hays needs to start issueing these.

Thats CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!

ABSOLUTE CRAP!
Who the heck does that town think they are that they can define what a family is!

yeah, I'm so irritated by this subject, i cant even get my thoughts together to say what I need to say!!!!!

I would never.....you could not make me live in Black Jack, North St. Louis. Nor visit.

What's their definition of "family"? Did they say?

That the kids belong to each parent. Those three kids were just the mom's. I wonder if it would make a difference if they were married though. I think I would be picketing those sons of b's.

What is an occupancy permit?

· An occupancy permit enforces the city's property maintenance code standards by requiring that an inspection be done to ensure that the house or apartment is safe for occupancy. The maintenance code standards not only protect residents' well being, but also protect financial investments and property values. Occupancy is illegal without an occupancy permit. Occupancy permits can be obtained only after a building inspection is complete. For further information on obtaining an occupancy permit contact the city clerk’s office at 314-355-0400 ext. 104 or e-mail at cityclerk@cityofblackjack.com.

Who needs an occupancy permit?

· Anyone who is moving into City of Black Jack must apply for and receive an occupancy permit before moving in.

How do you get an occupancy permit?

Applications are made in person at the City Administration's Window. There is a $50 charge for the application of all rental property and $20 for all owner occupied property, which is not refundable. The occupancy permit will not be issued until the city inspects the dwelling and it is found to be free of any health, safety and welfare issues. Pursuant to Ordinance 729, a conditional certificate of occupancy is not allowed unless for exterior seasonal repairs.
