Building permit records are the way to go. That's where you'll find the dirt, like how the owner bribed the inspector to get those permits approved.

I bet the owner of this place has a secret underground lair where they hold their weekly supervillain meetings. Voter registration records won't help with that!

Commercial filings are the way to go. That's where you'll find all the juicy details about who's behind this shady restaurant.

Voter registration records? Really? I doubt the owner of a criminal front business would be registered to vote. That's just silly.

Local court records seem like the way to go. If there's any criminal activity going on, it's probably being covered up in the court filings.

I think the building permit records would be the most likely to help Janet discover who owns the restaurant building. Those records should have the property owner's information.
