A pet shop owner in Neihu District, Taipei, committed suicide as the 2nd-floor owner refused to sign an agreement, delaying the shop's opening. The 2nd-floor owner revealed that after consulting with Taipei City's Urban Development Bureau, officials advised against signing to avoid future issues that could only be resolved through legal means. The city government emphasizes the need for communication between businesses and residents, as regulations require consent from neighbors in setting up pet grooming businesses in residential areas. The 2nd-floor owner's refusal to sign resulted in the shop owner not obtaining an operating license, leading to financial stress and ultimately suicide. The City Government urges the use of an online system to check if a business location meets land use and building regulations to prevent legal issues post-operation, emphasizing communication between stakeholders.
