12/26/2002 FOLLOW UP CODE VIOLATION RHENDRIC Approved CITATION ISSUED TO LORBER MENACHEM FOR IMPROP MAINTENANCE.
02/13/2003 INITIAL CODE VIOLATION RHENDRIC Approved ON 2/12/03 AT 7:55 A.M., MENACHOM LORBER CONTACTED ME IN REGARDS TO A CALL HE RECEIVED AT 9:30P.M. ON 2/11/03 FROM HELEN LOUIE. SHE INFORMED HIM THAT HER POWER WAS DISCONNECTED BECAUSE OF A LOOSE RISER. MR. LORBER SAID HE WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT THE FOLLOWING DAY. ON 2/12/03, MR. LORBER DID SOME INVESTIGATING AND FOUND OUT THAT THE POWER WAS SHUT OFF AT THE UNIT BECAUSE OF 2 MONTHS NON PAYMENT OF THEIR ELECTRIC BILL. A REPAIR ORDER WAS ALSO LEFT ON THE METER FROM TEP FOR THE OWNER TO RESECURE THE RISER BEFORE THE POWER WAS REINSTATED. MR. LORBER IMMEDIATELY CALLED AN LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND WITHIN THE HOUR THE RISER WAS PROPERLY REATTACHED. AT APPROXIMATELY 10:45 A.M. ON 2/12/03, HELEN LOUIE CONTACTED DNR ( NANCY TOOK THE CALL) AND SAID THAT HER POWER WAS TURNED OFF AND THAT THEY HAD NO HEAT AND THAT THEIR STOVE DID NOT WORK. WE INFORMED HER THAT THE OWNER ALREADY CALLED US FIRST THING ON 2/12/03 AND SAID HE WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT SO AN INSPECTION WOULD NOT BE NECESSARY. WE USUALLY ONLY ENTER THE PICTURE WHEN THE LANDLORD DOES NOT WANT TO COOPERATE. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE, MR. LORBER HAD ALREADY CONTACTED THE REPAIR PEOPLE. THE FURNACE BLOWER DID NOT WORK BECAUSE THEIR ELECTRIC WAS SHUT OFF FOR NON PAYMENT OF THE ELECTRIC BILL. I ALSO CALLED THE OWNER AND HE INFORMED ME THAT AN ELECTRICIAN WAS ON HIS WAY OVER TO THE HOUSE TO MAKE REPAIRS. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE FURNACE WAS FAIRLY NEW AND WAS RECENTLY SERVICED AND THAT THE STOVE HAS AN ELECTRIC IGNITION. I CONTACTED NORMA FROM TEP AND SHE SAID IF THE REPAIR WAS DONE BEFORE 2:00P.M. AND THE TENANTS HAD THEIR BILL PAID, SHE WOULD MAKE SURE SOMEONE WENT BACK OUT AND TURNED THE POWER BACK ON FOR THE TENANTS. THEY PAID THEIR BILL AND THE REPAIR TOOK ABOUT TEN MINUTES. THEIR POWER WAS TURNED BACK ON. HELEN LOUIE THEN CALLED BACK AT APPROXIMATELY 3:00P.M. AND ASKED TO TALK TO RON. SHE WANTED AN INSPECTION OF HER FURNACE AND CLAIMED IT DID NOT WORK. HELEN THEN STATED THAT SHE HAD NOT TALKED TO THE LANDLORD ABOUT IT. SHE STATED SHE DID TALK TO THE LANDLORD AT 9:30P.M. THE NIGHT BEFORE ABOUT THE ELECTRIC. HELEN LOUIE WAS AGAIN INFORMED THAT IF THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG THAT THE OWNER NEEDED TO BE NOTIFIED FIRST TO GIVE HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THE REPAIRS IF NEEDED. MR BILL THEN ENTERED THE CONVERSATION. MR. BILL AND HELEN LOUIE WENT ON TO SAY HOW VERY UNHAPPY THEY WERE WITH A RESPONSE FROM RON TO THEIR LETTER DATED 12/5/02. MR. BILL WAS THEN GIVEN RONS SUPERVISORS' NUMBER. (PAUL SWIFT) RON THEN ADVISED HIM BASED ON THIS THREAT OF USING THE PRESS, HE WAS GOING TO TERMINATE THE CALL. ON 2/13/03, I (ROB) THEN CALLED THE LANDLORD TO ADVISE HIM OF THE HEATER ISSUE AT RONS' REQUEST. I CALLED MR. LORBER , AND AGAIN HE STATED THAT THE FURNACE WAS FAIRLY NEW AND WAS RECENTLY SERVICED AND THAT THE TENANTS NEVER COMPLAINED TO HIM ABOUT THE FURNACE EXCEPT THE NIGHT BEFORE WHEN THE ELECTRIC WAS DISCONNECTED, HOWEVER, HE SAID HE WOULD IMMEDIATELY CHECK IT OUT IF THE TENANTS CALLED HIM. I LATER CALLED BACK THE OWNER AND ASKED HIM TO CALL HELEN LOUIE TO MAKE SURE EVERY THING WAS FINE. HE MADE THE CALL TO HELEN LOUIE AT APPROXIMATELY 3:45 P.M. ON 2/13/03 TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS OR IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE HE NEEDED TO LOOK AT. SHE STATED EVERYTHING WAS FINE.
