As long as there is no "healthcare" being provided (medicine, baths, etc) then it's not regulated by the department of health.

I'm 37 and about 8 years into my emergency medicine career.

There was an apartment building where the junkies used to pull out the medicine cabinets and throw their used needles into the wall to hide them.

I am in Medicine, most patient sue us Doctors not for mistakes we make, but lack of transparency/information, it forces us to give information.

This renovation took 2.5 weeks for two guysScope of WorkDemo and gut entire kitchen, gut one bedroom, and partial gut of bathroomBuild new closet and frame out a wall to create a bedroomInstall new laminate flooring in two bedroomsInstall new subpanel and new electrical for entire apartmentNew (and some reused) cabinetsNew quartz countertopNew (but bought used) 24" rangeNew microwave and fridge (new fridge not shown in photos)New toilet, medicine cabinet and vanity light in bathroom New built-in kitchen table and chairsCost of Work (approximately)Labor $6,500Cabinets $2,000 - I bought some nice, used Ikea cabinets from Craigslist for a previous job and I had some left over.

I have a few clients that are in medicine and they are quite astute. 

Physician by trade in NC, but interests in prehospital medicine and the outdoors.   

I may just have to take my medicine and learn from the experience.

wink wink, if its in a grocery anchored center retail medicine would be a great alternate use.and I assume you are looking at a free standing single tenant building, especially if its a QSR....just very surprised there isn't some kind of a ground lease at play here, given the situation.  

Not only that but it would give them a taste of their own medicine and may even prevent them from repeating the action in the future.
