| 03/21/2021 | INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT | GOODMAN | Approved | VISITED SITE, MET WITH TFD INVESTIGATORS WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE FIRE ACTUALLY WAS STARTED OUTSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE ON THE WEST SIDE BY HOMELESS AT A CAMP LOCATED AT THE N/W CORNER OF THIS PROPERTY/ STRUCTURE. THE STRUCTURE IS BLOCK AND HOUSES 1-2 AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOPS. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR OF THE NORTH STRUCTURE, HOWEVER THE OWNER OF THE BUSINESS WHO LEASES FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER BUILT A ROOF OVER A SECTION OF THE BUILDING ON THE NORTH SIDE AND USES IT AS STORAGE AND WORK(?) AND ADDED ELECTRICAL IN THE AREA. I EXPLAINED TO THE OWNER THAT HE COULD REMOVE THE ROOF, ELECTRICAL AND ITEMS BEING STORED BUT THAT IF HE WANTED TO REBUILD THE STORAGE AREA HE WOULD REQUIRE A PERMIT. AS I WAS GOING THRU THE INSIDE OF THE SHOP FOR THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE, I FOUND THAT A SPRAY BOOTH HAD BEEN BOOTED INSIDE THE SHOP BECAUSE I COULD NOT FIND THE SERVICE PANEL. I INFORMED THE OWNER HE DID NOT HAVE THE PROPER CLEARANCE TO SERVICE THE ELECTRICAL PANEL WHICH IS NOW TOO CLOSE TO THE SPRAY BOOTH SO HE WOULD NEED TO MOVE THE BOOTH OR MOVE THE ELECTRICAL BUT THAT BOTH WOULD REQUIRE A PERMIT. THERE WAS NO FIRE DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE AUTO SHOP BECAUSE OF THE EXTERIOR BLOCK WALLS. BOARD UP OF THE STRUCTURE WAS NOT REQUIRED. THERE WAS A DOUBLE WROUGHT IRON GATE AT THE FRONT OF THE AUTO SHOP TO SECURE THE PROPERTY AND YARD AREA. THE ROOF TO THE STORAGE AREA IS STILL INTACT BUT FIRE DAMAGED. A NOV WAS ISSUED TO REMOVE THE ROOF TO THE STORAGE AREA AND IF THEY REBUILD A PERMIT WOULD BE REQUIRED. I ASKED THAT THE SPRAY BOOTH BE PERMITTED OR REMOVED, AND IF THE BOOTH STAY THEY RELOCATE THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE PANEL UNDER PERMIT. I ASKED TFD IF THEY COULD HAVE SOMEONE INSPECT THE SPRAY BOOTH. NICK JANTON IN CHARGE OF THOSE INSPECTIONS WAS CONTACTED BY THE TFD INVESTIGATORS, I RECEIVED A EMAIL STATING A INSPECTOR HAS BEEN ASSIGNED AND HE WILL CONTACT ME SO THAT I CAN MEET THE INSPECTOR ON THE PROPERTY. NOV WAS ISSUED AND SIGNED FOR BY THE PROPERTY OWNER. GATES WERE SECURED BY THE AUTO SHOP OWNER. |
| 04/20/2021 | INSP - FOLLOW UP CODE ENFORCE | GOODMAN | Approved | RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE OWNER STATING THAT HE IS NOW IN THE PROCESS OF PERMITTING THE SPRAY BOOTH INSIDE THE STRUCTURE. I DID ASK IF TFD HAD BEEN BY TO INSPECT, OWNER STATED THEY HAD NOT. OWNER STATED HE WAS NOT COMPUTER LITERATE BUT DOES HAVE HIS SON HELPING HIM WITH THE PROCESS AND WILL CONTACT ME WHEN THEY HAVE A PERMIT IN APPLIED STATUS. |
