How do you report a nail salon if you suspect they are using illegal chemicals? -

I found a retail space where I want to open a children s clothing/toy shop. It is the perfect square footage and rent price, but it is next to a nail salon. When I went to look at the place it smelled like harsh chemicals. The landlord of the property owns both and she is avoiding any questions I ask her about it. She basically said well the store space has fans and you can always open the doors, not really a good solution especially in the dead of winter in the Northeast.

News flash:Nail salons use harsh chemicals, like acetone and many others. It s normal. Just because you don t like the smell is not a reason to suspect they re using lllegal chemicals . What IS an illegal chemical? I am 99.9999% sure they re doing nothing wrong. You better have more than a paranoid hunch before you report them or risk possible legal liability.And opening the door wouldn t affect your store.

Where I live, nail salons are licensed by the state s health department. If the same is true in your state, you can initiate a complaint through that agency.

MMA maybe?As others have said you can always check with the business department that licences these places in your state.

id say start with the police or somethingits a nail salon of course its going to smell horrible
