When some businesses received cease and desist orders in Niagara Falls, some black business owners believed they were targeted.

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — The Niagara Falls Code Enforcement department has a job which includes reviewing building plans, issuing work permits, conducting building and site inspections.

The mayor was asked about it and he was very candid that no business was targeted.

“I can’t speak to why someone would say those things, but the rules are the rules for every business,” Niagara Falls Mayor Robert Restaino said. “And I will tell you this that day or that span of days we were out making sure that all businesses were properly licensed. Then if you get onto a property that’s not licensed, you then look and see that it’s got all the necessary code enforcement requirements.”
