| 09/27/2005 | INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT | JORTA | Approved | This house was being used to grow marijuana and the request for assistance stemmed from the elaborate (but dangerous) electrical set-up employed to facilitate the quality and quantity of the product. In short there were numerous modifications and additions to the electrical system such as feeder circuits for an a/c compressor installed at the N. side exterior of the house to supply an illegal air handling unit in the bedroom to supply conditioned air and to meter the right amount of moisture into the closed environment in the bedroom, again in a dangerous manner. Also a new electric sub panel was installed at the central bedroom to supply an electrical demand, this whole system again was installed in extempore, for example open non metallic sheathed cable (nmc) wiring installed unprotected to supply three 1000 watt H.I.D. lighting fixtures. (grow lamps).The heat alone perhaps questions the use of this cable since the heat generated by the fixtures are so intense that they are manufactured with exhaust ducts and supplied with exhaust fans to lower the extreme temperatures developed. The rating of the nmc cable is 90 degree centigrade and it would not be unusual to require wiring with a minimum rating of 105 degree centigrade. The manner as to how the open cables were brought in to the house is of itself an accident in waiting. The open cable started at the exterior, traveling exposed through the shower stall/bathroom, hallway then into the bedroom. The wires were inserted into the boxes and panelboard without bushings without any strain relief and no physical protection of the wiring. Iwas able to contact the owner and I let him know that the house was to be shut down for the above reasons and to give him the opportunity to secure his own place. Mr. Yantis, Sr. was very reluctant to talk to me and everything that I told him he requested that I put in writing and mail it to him, as to which I told him that the urgency of the situation does not allow for this to eventuate in a satisfactory time frame. A notice of violation was issued to immediately secure the property. A board-up contractor was called and the house was posted. A mailing will follow with the shut-down order and supplemental material. |
| 12/12/2005 | INSP - FOLLOW UP CODE ENFORCE | JORTA | Approved | Made a follow-up inspection (see photos) and found all previous violations abated. I was able to enter with the permission of the hired painter that was working inside. The surrounding property is also clean and without trash. The house is ready to occupy. I'm rendering this case closed PENDING BILLING (for the board-up). |
