Tread

Another tread

Railing is not up to code

Why so haphazard?

Oaklandres great job sent them a consulting bill. We need a whole bunch of paid freelance Code Enforcement officers to show code enforcement how its done. I remember working for a customer and she asked if I was going to do the job to code my response was I planned to do a much better job. I am sure they doing everything to code inside. I see a red tag in there future if someone shows up the City???

City of Oakland Bldg Inspectors aren't doing their job: Code Enforcement.
This is the second set of stairs this contractor has built in the neighborhood. The first set was at 374 41st Street, and they were declared 'Unsafe/Restricted Use' after a tenant was injured (less than 2 weeks after they were 'repaired' without a permit.
The contractor at this building is:
Gillikin Siding and Framing

American Precision Builders is also performing work.

The owner of this property is:
TP Partners LLC
1565 Madison Street Oakland, CA
(Martin Higgins is the agent of service)

TP Partners LLC purchased a number of properties in the neighborhood last year:
3927-3931 Opal Street
374 41st Street (41st and Opal)
4203 Shafter (42nd and Shafter)
40th and Clarke
337 42nd Street (42nd and Emerald)
14 Croxton
3388 Piedmont Ave
450 42nd Street

374 41st Street was issued
- 4 Stop Work Orders
- 1 yellow-tagged stairs (unsafe/restricted use)
- 1 red tagged bldg (unsafe structure)

Permits were suspended 2 different times, due to work being done that exceeded the scope of the permit. Multiple things were done with no permits.

The red tag was only issued after the Fire Inspector came out and acknowledged the fire code violations and unsafe construction taking place while tenants still lived there.

This building was built prior to 1978, yet there is no evidence that California State Laws (Title 17), Federal Laws (EPA RRP Rules), or OSHA rules are being followed.

Lead-based Paint Work Practices in California
(References: Title 17, CCR, Div 1, Ch 8, Accreditation, Certification and Work Practices for Lead-Based Paint and Lead Hazards and SB 460, the Cal/OSHA Lead in Construction Standard)

CALIFORNIA

In every structure built prior to 1978:

Assume untested paint is lead-tested
OR
Have paint tested by a State-Certified Lead Inspector/Risk Assessor

In every structure built prior to 1978, if any untested paint will be disturbed:

Use containment
Use Lead Safe Work Practices
Be able to demonstrate compliance

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has instituted a series of new requirements for renovation, repair and painting contractors.

On or after April 22, 2010, firms working in pre-1978 homes and child-occupied facilities must

Be certified
Use lead-safe work practices during renovations

Under the rule, beginning in April 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.

Anyone call Cal OSHA? They are the agency you never want to come to work site.
