While Tesla has a permit to operate a service center in the building, it needs to receive approval for its fire-suppression system, WHAM reported.
"They were approved for car service as long as they don't deviate from what they were previously approved," Schultz told WHAM.
Tesla, Shultz, and Henrietta's building and fire prevention department did not immediately respond to Business Insider's requests for comment.
