| 01/03/2013 | INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT | RVIDAL | Approved | Met with the tenant and did an inspection on the property. Found where the forced air furnace has been removed from the house and is standing on the front yard. The heat exchangers are cracked or split at the top. I did check for other items and found lacking smoke detectors in all the bedrooms and the one inplace in the hallway is not working. Found water heater in a storage room that has no vents to the exterior for combustion relief. The back room appears to have been added and will check records. The front porch and the carport need to be checked for a permit due to the setbacks and over-spanding of the rafters. RV. |
| 06/19/2014 | INSP - FOLLOW UP CODE ENFORCE | VIDAL | Approved | This case has been referred to T14DV00015 for a fire call and still has the same issues. Will address the issues on the other case. Close Case. RV. |
