First Asst. Chief Richard N. Gross was the officer in charge and the first arriving unit on the scene. Chief Gross was met by the asst. superintendent of the building who informed Chief Gross that the smoke was being caused by workers in the stairway using welding and cutting equipment. Upon investigation by Chief Gross , it was discovered that the stairs on the south side of the building from the 3rd floor to the 8th floor had been removed.The building inspector and the code enforcement officer were requested to respond to the scene by Chief Gross. Building inspector James Margotta responded and stopped the job due to no building permits.After Mr.Margotta had a phone conversation with a representative of the owners and a conversation with Chief Gross it was decided to expedite the replacement of the stairway by allowing the work to continue. Mr.Margotta informed the workers that the following conditions are to be complied with: I l.The owner of the company performing the work is to contact the Building Department and take out all proper permits. 2. All signs on the hallway doors are to written in both Spanish and English and include an alternate escape route in the event of an emergency. 3.All treads are to have wood placed so as not to cause a tripping hazard, prior to the installation of cement. \ 4.When the North side stairway replacement is started,they are to start from the top and work down replacing one floor set at a time. i If the above situation had been an actual Ore, injury to the fire department personnel and the tenants of the building was a definite and this would have lead to a delay in extinguishment. I would like to thank Mr.Margotta for his prompt response and action taken.No report or response as of this date has been received from the Code Enforcement Officer on this matter. ^_ Sincerely i cc: Trustee Laub Mayor Treacy Fire Council Building Dept.
