Wilmore, Chief Building Official <br /> CC: Ron Bottoms, City Manager and Tim Tietjens, Director of Planning <br /> Date: 2/17/2011 <br /> Re: Highlight Memo on Inspection Division Activities <br /> The following is our monthly report on some of the highlights of the Inspection Services <br /> Division and our January Activity Report. <br /> Assistance —10708 Bois D Arc <br /> • Typically individuals apply for /receive electrical service on an existing home. <br /> However, in this case the electric company refused to release the power without a city <br /> inspection. Despite the lack of an electrical permit, staff scheduled a site visit to <br /> evaluate the situation. The only issue identified was a missing dead front in the panel <br /> and the owner was advised accordingly. <br /> • Once the dead front was installed, the owner re- contacted us. We re- inspected the <br /> panel and released the meter as a name change since a permit was not involved. <br /> • The owner appreciated our help in fmding a solution to this unusual situation. <br /> Assistance — 3814 Dolphin <br /> • The situation involved (2) code enforcement cases (exterior storage as well as a <br /> shipping container in the driveway). They continued to exist even after the house <br /> became livable. Despite numerous phone calls /site visits, violations were not abated <br /> and court was involved. <br /> • During the court process, the exterior storage was resolved but the container remained. <br /> Utilizing the court process and continued inter - action with the resident, the remaining <br /> case was abated. While the resident disagreed with the regulations, he appreciated our <br /> professionalism in the matter. <br /> 1 <br />
