So, Bernardo said he began applying for the permit in February and that the last email correspondence from the EPA was on September 3. Bernardo also said he is well aware of Lungo’s concerns. “I’m trying to do everything that he’s asked for,” he said, adding that it has become increasingly difficult to keep his business running while trying to appease Lungo at the same time. According to the City Clerk’s Office, the city is aware that Next Level occasionally exceeds its 35-car limit. The Clerk’s Office also said Bernardo has a permit to store up to 10 cars behind the building. However, city health officials could not be reached for comment regarding oil being stored in the back of the property. Would you want to live here?
