09-23-2016	01:29 PM	INITIAL INSPECTION	MADE SITE VISIT AT REQUEST OF DBPR. APRIL AND BEVERLY WERE ALSO PRESENT FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT AND ALSO ALLYSON FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WAS PRESENT. BUILDING DEPARTMENT HAS AN EXPIRED PERMIT (#15080054) FOR THIS PROPERTY TO RECONNECT ELECTRIC SERVICE. THIS PERMIT HAS HAD THREE INSPECTIONS PERFORMED TO DATE, ON 8/11/2015 AN INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED. THEY WERE REQUESTING POWER TO BE CONNECTED SO WORK COULD BE PERFORMED. THIS INSPECTION WAS FAILED WITH A NOTE THAT UNITS WOULD HAVE TO MEET STANDARD HOUSING CODE BEFORE ELECTRIC SERVICE CONNECTED. ON 9/8/2015 AN INSPECTION OF UNITS 1-9&10 WAS PERFORMED AND ELECTRIC SERVICE WAS CONNECTED TO THOSE UNITS. ON 10/23/2015 AN INSPECTION OF UNITS 5-6&7 WAS PERFORMED AND ELECTRIC SERVICE WAS CONNECTED TO THOSE UNITS. UNITS 2-3-4&8 HAVE NEVER BEEN INSPECTED AND ISUED FOR ELECTRIC CONNECTION. UPON INSPECTION THIS MORNING THE METER THAT SERVES UNITS 2-3&4 AND THE METER THAT SERVES UNIT 8 DO NOT HAVE METERS INSTALLED AND SHOULD NOT HAVE ELECTRIC SERVICE. UNIT 8 DOES NOT HAVE ELECTRIC SERVICE AND IS APPARENTLY BEING USED AS A STORAGE UNIT FOR THE COMPLEX. UNITS 2-3&4 DO HAVE ELECTRIC SERVICE AND HAVE TENANTS LIVING IN THEM ALTHOUGH THE SINGLE METER THAT SERVES THEM DOES NOT HAVE A METER INSTALLED. FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHOWED THAT THESE UNITS ARE BEING SERVICED BY THE UNIT 1 METER. THIS IS NOT THE DESIGN OF THE SYSTEM AS PERMITTED AND AN ILLEGAL CONNECTION HAS BEEN MADE SOMEWHERE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAUSING OVERLOAD HAZARD. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY TENANTS THAT REPORTED THAT IF THEY USE TOO MUCH POWER BREAKERS TRIP. THIS IS A LIFE SAFETY CONCERN AS OVERLOADING CIRCUITRY IS A FIRE HAZARD. ALSO OBSERVED OTHER ELECTRICAL CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED SINCE OUR INSPECTIONS. BRANCH CIRCUIT WIRING HAS BEEN ILLEGALY INSTALLED THAT DOES NOT MEET CODE REQUIREMENTS AND A LIFT STATION PUMP AT THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY IS BEING POWERED BY AN EXTENTION CORD RUNNING FROM THE UTILITY ROOM. THESE ISSUES ARE NOT LIFE THREATENING BUT WILL NEED TO BE CORRECTED. OTHER STANDARD HOUSING CODE ISSUES WERE FOUND AND WILL BE DOCUMENTED IN A STANDARD HOUSING REPORT.

09-23-2016	08:56 AM	STANDARD HOUSING CODE	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
