of all the problems I've encountered in our house purchase odyssee this last one took me by surprise:
they wanted to charge us a whopping $500.- more annually because I have snakes
Jeff did all the phone calls up to that point, but when he told me about this I had to step in
I told that woman that, if I was keeping anything more dangerous than a gerbil, I certainly wouldn't have told her because I'd already be breaking the law
in the end I kept insisting that they check NYC laws and finally they backed off on the snake issue
