10/06/2020 INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT GOODMAN Approved VISITED SITE, SPOKE WITH OWNER PRIOR TO VISITING THE PROPERTY, SHE STATED SHE WOULD MEET ME THERE. UPON MY ARRIVAL I WAS TOLD BY THE OCCUPANT IN #5 THAT HER HUSBAND WAS TAKING A SHOWER WHEN HE HEARD THE SEWER GURGLING AND THEN SUDDENLY SEWAGE SHOT UP THRU THE DRAIN. THAT OCCUPANT WAS COVERED WITH SEWAGE AND EVENTUALLY HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. AT THE TIME OF MY INSPECTION THE SHOWER AREA WAS CLEANED AND THE SEWER DRAINING AT THE SHOWER. OCCUPANT IN #1 STATED HER SEWER HAD ALSO BACKED UP AND IT WAS HER SON WHO TRIED TO CLEAN THE SEWER LINE BY STICKING A HOSE IN THE LINE TO FORCE ANY BLOCKAGE LOOSE. HE IS ALLERGIC O CERTAIN CHEMICALS AND WAS BLEEDING FROM HIS EARS AND EYES AND HAD A RASH ON HIS FACE. OCCUPANT STATED PEOPLE IN 2+3 WHERE NOT AT HOME BUT THE OCCUPANT IN #3 HAD ALSO HAD A BACK UP. THE OCCUPANT WAS NOT HOME IN #3 AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION. OWNER ARRIVED AND INFORMED ME AND HAD TEXT MESSAGES CONCERNING THE BACK UP ON SUNDAY BUT HAD RECEIVED A MESSAGE THAT IT HAD BEEN CLEARED BY OCCUPANT IN #5, I DID SEE THAT MESSAGE. I WALKED THE UNITS 1,3, AND 5 WITH THE OWNER. ALL UNITS WERE FOUND TO BE VERY CLEAN, RENT REASONABLE, OWNER HELPFUL AND GETS ALONG WELL WITH TENNANTS. I DID ISSUE A NOV TO HAVE THE SEWER LINE SNAKED BY A LICENSED PLUMBING COMPANY, I DID FIND 3 CLEAN OUTS FOR THE FIVE UNITS. OWNER HAS ONLY OWNED THE 5 PLEX FOR 2 PLUS YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. ASKED THE BEST WAY TO CLEAR THE BLOCKAGE, AND MY BEST ADVICE WAS TO HAVE A LICENSED PLUMBER SNAKE THE LINES STARTING WITH THE MAIN LINE AND EACH LINE FROM THE CLEAN OUTS. ASKED OWNER TO SEND ME A MESSAGE WITH A PICTURE OF THE RECEIPT SHOWING WORK THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
10/20/2020 INSP - FOLLOW UP CODE ENFORCE GOODMAN Approved CONTACTED BY OWNER ASKING IF I HAD RECIEVED HER TEXT WITH PLUMBER INFORMATION OF WHAT HAD BEEN DONE WITH THE SEWER LINE. SHE RETEXTED THE MESSAGE SHOWING THAT WORK ON THE SEWER LINE HAD BEEN COMPLETED ON 10/12/2020, THE MAIN SEWER LINE WAS SNAKED AND 3 CLEAN OUTS ALL SNAKED TO THE UNITS. THERE WERE TREE ROOTS IN THE LINE AND WERE CUT OUT WITH THEIR CUTTER HEAD SNAKE AND AND REMOVED FROM THE CLEANOUTS. NOV WAS ISSUED FOR THE LINES TO BE SNAKED EVEN THOUGH ANY EVIDENCE OF A BACK UP HAD ALREADY BEEN CLEANED UP AT THE TIME OF ORIGINAL INSPECTION. COMPLIANCE / CLOSE CASE.
