| 06/03/2013 | INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT | GGOODMAN | Approved | VISITED SITE, UPON ARRIVAL FOUND TPD HAD CLEARED THE SCENE. TENANTS JOANNE AND PEGGY SHOWED ME WHAT TFD HAD DONE DUE TO LIGHT ARCHING AND POPPING AND FROM THE ARCHING A TERRIBLE SMELL. TFD HAD REMOVED LIGHT FIXTURE, WIRES TO THE FIXTURE WERE BURNED, THEN REMOVED THE METAL LIGHT BOX ATTACHED TO THE WOOD CEILING AND FOUND WIRES COMING THRU THE CEILING ALSO BURNED OFF TO THE POINT WHERE WIRING WAS NOW IN THE 2X6 T&G PLANK. MET WITH OWNER ROBERT BUCKLEY WHO LIVED IN FRONT UNIT A, EXPLAINED MY FINDINGS AND MENTIONED POWER WOULD REMAIN OFF. I ASKED THAT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING HE WOULD NEED TO CONTACT A LICENSED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR AS I WAS GIVING HIM 24 HRS TO ABATE THE SITUATION. TENANTS MENTIONED THEY WOULD STAY WITH A FRIEND AND THEN GET WITH MR BUCKLEY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AS HE USUALLY IS PICKED UP AROUND 7 AM. MR BUCKLEY IS 77 YRS OLD, HAS HUSBAND AND WIFE CAREGIVERS WHO HELP HIM OUT ALSO ELDERLY AND PRESENTLY STAYING AT ANOTHER RESIDENCE HOUSE SITTING. BECAUSE OF THE LARGE AMOUNT OF TRASH AND DEBRIS AROUND UNIT A AND THE SMELL COMING FROM INSIDE I WILL GET WITH RICK AND MARTIN TO SEE ABOUT GETTING INSIDE TO INSPECT THE STRUCTURE FOR LIVING CONDITIONS. |
