A North Charleston homeowner is facing charges after officials say he was operating an illegal homeless shelter at the property.
The Post and Courier of Charleston reports North Charleston officials say 51-year-old Cyrus Kamini was charged Monday with operating a business without a license, operating an unsafe dwelling and not having permits for work done on the site.
Officials boarded up the 1,500-square-foot home owned by Kamini that was divided into as many as eight units.

This day and time Jesus would be arrested for practicing medicine without a licence.
Dare I speculate that the regulations he’s violating to help people were put in place by Democrats?
Once again: Leftists solving poverty by making it illegal.
It’s because only the government should do it.
It sort of sounds like it was a boarding house, not a homeless shelter?
This Homeowner ought to be thankful he isn’t in PRISON facing 20 to Life for Doing the Job a Government Union Worker is supposed to do.
See everyone? This is why we have a poverty problem! Thank the government.
“Homelessness” did not become a problem in this country until the do gooders decided that “flop houses” were not fit for humans. So instead of having a bed and a roof the flop houses were closed and the the homeless now sleep in the street.
The do gooders feel better while making the problem worse.
Add to that the do gooders war on the mentally ill. Rather than have laws that allow society to pick up and house those that are unable to care for themselves, they (the do gooders decided it was better for the mentally ill to sleep in the street then to be confined to a hospital.
Impossible. There have not been homeless people for the last 8 years.
Maybe the neighbors didn’t like living next door to a dozen bums.
I’m sure the neighbors would prefer that they camp out on the sidewalk across from their house.
“was charged Monday with operating a business without a license...”
Don’t you have to charge money for something in order to be a business? If they were charging money it would be a hotel, not a homeless shelter, no?
This is what happens when you foist off onto the government what is personal responsibility.
He was charged with the same thing in March of 2015
Twenty people living in a fifteen hundred square foot house is as bad as hoarders or animal “rescuers”
I own 2 properties that were over run w homeless who trespass on private property w no cares. They leave their trash and bodily waste.
When I could get the sheriff to respond the homeless guys worst outcome was a night sober in jail.
Too long to go into but several locals got together w local cops, D.A., church organizations and started our own program where we supported a camp and center w showers, computers and mailing addresses for the homeless. Worked for several years but has just recently closed.
Only 2 or 3 homeless people turned their life around.
Now I’m back to trying to protect my private property again.
Have cut a deal w one of the better homeless guys to have his own spot as long as he keeps it clean and free of other trespassers. It’s been working for about a year now.
I provide him a phone, trash bags and throw a few bucks his way now and then.
Most homeless will never change the way they are and even the personal touch of good Christians does little more than subsidize the core behavior
But if they were working, were they bums any more?
I’d sooner pay 20 “bums” to work for me with room and board than 20 illegales, at any rate.
(Ex-) Bum power.
Of course no homeless “will change the way he is.” Opening the heart to the Lord so HE can do the changing is the way. If Christians are involved, this has to be evangelism, not just a jobs program.
Agreed, while the church people brought food and the word the homeless seem to have a good knack for only pretending to want to change.
Sad as some good people reached and opened their homes only to end up getting burglarized or worse.
Care to tell us what state we are talking about here?
