| 02/10/2017 | INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT | HOLLANDER | Approved | Arrived at the property and the owner was present. After discussion with the owner we proceeded to inspect the units. We found hazardous electrical. The main 200 amp service was connected to a 60 amp TEP feed and appeared not to have had a permit. The feed to units 1-8 appeared undersized. We found screw in fuse panels bypassed with breakers. The wires were wedged into the breakers and supported only by the conductors. The unit loads appeared to be overloading the circuit fuses. Exposed Romex wiring was found with open splices. The non-grounded receptacles have been replaced with the grounded type. We determined due to the conditions that a shut-down of the property may be necessary. The owner contacted two contractors to come to the site. At this time also the tenants started to become hostile so TPD was contacted and arrived on site for security. We walked the units with the first electrical contractor who pointed out further issues to the owner. The contractor was not going to take responsibility for the electric on the property to remain on and after discussion with the owner they left the property. The second contractor after further discussion with the owner left the property. The third contractor was not able to take responsibility and left also. It was determined to start the shut-down at this time. TPD called for the Red Cross and a Sun Tran Buss for the tenants. TEP was contacted and the meter was removed and the conductors were cut at the pole. |
