H 1 I ':M(.IN'(!'.'»} 101 *> ^l.i.MlMIMKAl' '» November 9, 1999 I am writing in response to a recent letter in the Village News and Town Report with respect to the elimination of a position of a code enforcement officer and placement of a fire inspector. I am one of the lawyers representing the Estate of Coleman Solomon who died in a fire at 106 Depeyster Street on May 22, 1996. A lawsuit is pending in Supreme Court, Westchester County, both parties are seeking summary judgment and are awaiting a decision of the court. The controversy over fire code enforcement is precisely the i39ue yet to be determined by the court. During the course of discovery it was learned that numerous code violations existed and had been reported to the then Building Inspector. The Building Inspector, upon information and belief, failed to act in an independent manner and faltered on enforcing fire codes which would have brought violations of the New York State Fire Prevention codes to the fore well in advance of the fatal fire. Had a knowledgeable and independent fire inspector been employed by the Village before May of 1996 this ancient wooden structure would certainly have drawn attention and perhaps this tragedy could have been averted. Mr. Stiloski as well as numerous members of the Arson Task Force, affiliated police agencies and the Cause and Origin Team were subpoenaed and deposed in connection with this lawsuit. Tt became increasingly clear that the building inspector failed to adequately identify the violations which contributed to the rapid spread of fire and smoke which resulted in Mr. Solomon's death. As a resident of Irvington and a frequent visitor lo Sleepy Hollow, I have had concerns about fire safety and cooperation between agencies in the River Towns. The advent of a full time position for fire inspector sounds progressive and visionary. A fire inspector in a village that contains numerous older structures and converted multiple dwellings in close proximity seems not only prudent but laudable. As can be seen, the absence of such a knowledgeable and directed officer can have dire consequences.
