Are there errors in these sentences?

Hey guys, just wondering if im correct in thinking there's errors in the book I'm reviewing.
First, I have some floating periods.
The author does not start each chapter on a new page, rather he just inserts the chapter number between paragraphs. In two instances now but not before every chapter there's a floating period.
Here's an example
Thinking it was Beth Ann again, he picked it up from his nightstand. It was an unknown number.
.
5
When the police car pulled up outside the station,
Am I correct to assume that the period should not be there and if so, how do I list that as an error when submitting my review.
My second error I'm unsure of is this
The man puckered his lips and tilted his tattooed skull toward Omar. “Who you calling a punk?'
Shouldn't the sentence be finished with a " instead of '
Thanks for your help!
