Report uncertified contractors and violations

The below pictures are actual ones from my mom's building. The inside of the apartment also had lead.

Walking to work this morning I was so confused by the staging in production. Some how I ended up in the middle of the work area ( which I am pretty sure I shouldn't have been because of the baricates). I got to see some of wood bins which read ocean spray.
Got to my desk and googled it.

Today and tomorrow ocean spray wi be hosting a tasting event.
Event name:
Big Apple Bogs "taste and tell".

Yesterday I wrote about the Ocean Spray event at Rockefeller Center. I went back during lunch.

It looked very pretty unfortunately I was not able to taste the juices. The line was way long and I had to return to my desk.

But I did take some pictures. Here they are.
