“I spend more time in this building than I do my own home, so I know it pretty well,” he said, adding that it has been neglected for decades.
“We’ve had water leaks for over 30 years in this building,” he said, as has public works below. “I’ve had three electrical fires in the building in the past three years. We have shingles falling off the roof that have not been repaired. The emergency operations center flooded two years ago, and the fire department had to come clean it out. This building is an absolute mess.”
He also said its dispatch center is so outdated that employees have been injured working in it, and there’s nowhere to safely package evidence.
The State of California Department of Industrial Relations Division of Occupational Safety and Health interpreted that statement as a Complaint (Complaint No. 1332073) and transmitted a letter dated April 30, 2018 to the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea Police Department. The letter stated, in part, Code Section(s) and Alleged Condition(sl:
1. Potential concerns with hazards associated with electrical fires in building due to contact with water.
(Reference T8 CCR Sec. 2340.1, 2340.2, 3203)
2. Potential concerns with hazards associated with flooding inside building due to leaks in roof.
(Reference T8 CCR Sec. 3362, 3203)
3. Potential concerns with hazards associated with missing roof shingles on building. (Reference T8 CCR Sec. 1632, 3203)
… you are required to investigate the alleged condition(s) and notify this office in writing no later than fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of this letter whether the alleged condition(s) exist and, if so, specify the corrective action(s) you have taken 2nd the estimated date when the corrections will be completed. If possible, please e-mail your response to Kelly Tatum, district manager, at DIRDOSHFREMONT@dir.ca.gov
Please include any written documentation, e.g., equipment purchase orders or contracts for corrective work, and photographs, if appropriate, in your response. If you do not respond in a timely and satisfactory manner, an unannounced inspection of your workplace will be scheduled, which may result in citation(s) and monetary penalties. Also, every tenth satisfactory letter response from employers is subject to verification by an inspection.
