Narrative:
Landed at heliport. There had been some confusion as to whether I could land there or not. I landed and went to the operating room. I had left a note to call if there were any problems. They called and I said I would remove the helicopter. When leaving they said that they were a DOD site and they were going to report me. They repeated that we had been told we could not land. I repeated that we had heard things both ways. It seemed resolved at the moment. The simple procedure of informing me not to land seemed sufficient and I left. There were no other problems.
