LEWISTON The inspection of a medical marijuana dispensary in the wake of a Wednesday fire turned up possible code violations that could affect the operation of the business, a city official said.
“As a result of the fire,” Planning and Code Enforcement Director David Hediger said Wednesday, “we did have one of the code enforcement officers go down there, along with the electrical inspector, and it does appear that there have been both building improvements and electrical improvements made without the required permits.”
