Building occupancy posted on a permit reflects load-bearing and exit-capacity design; fire-marshal capacity reflects egress under emergency conditions and may be lower. Operating to the higher number is a citation; operating to the higher number while blocking a marked exit is a fire-code violation that can close the venue same-day.
A capacity citation is one of the few violations a fire marshal can act on in real-time during operations. Repeat findings can affect insurance and licensing renewal.
Under ADA, staff may ask only (1) "Is the animal required because of a disability?" and (2) "What work or task has the animal been trained to perform?" Anything beyond — proof of disability, proof of training, demonstration of the task — is a violation. The animal can be excluded only for actual disruption, not breed or perceived risk.
ADA complaints in hospitality settings are among the easiest to substantiate because staff scripts often deviate from the two-question rule. Settlements include training requirements that exceed the cost of training upfront.
Charging a no-show fee is permitted; the boundary cases are (1) failure to disclose the fee at booking time clearly, (2) charging more than the posted fee, and (3) charging after a same-day cancellation that is allowed under the posted policy. Each becomes a consumer-protection complaint when the booking confirmation does not match the charge.
State consumer-protection bureaus pursue patterns of small undisclosed charges aggressively because each affected guest is a potential complainant.
