Was at a certificate of occupancy this morning. Checking things out I walked into the restroom and a 4X4 foot section of drywall was missing on both sides of the lease spaces. Asked the general contractor why that was left off. He never really gave me an answer. He just stated we'll get that taken care of! ...... Okay!
Walked around a bit more... I couldn't find the service panel so I asked the contractor "where's the service panel?"..... Ohhhhh come this way.... He leads me back to the restroom that was missing the drywall. He ducked under the drywall and said "this way".......... HUH?????????
The only access to the service panel was either through the drywall that was fixing to be installed OR the adjacent lease space. I went through the 4X4 space and of course it had a metal stud right in the middle of it so it made it a little tough getting my 6'5" 260 lb body through the hole! When I got through the hole I walked down a 6 ft hallway about 20 feet in length. To the right is a steel door locked and bolted, I guess from the other side because I couldn't budge it, and straight ahead was an electrical rook with the service panel!!! So the only way to access the panel is to go through the lease space next door and get him to unlock the back door that leads to this hallway where the service panel is located!! HELLO RED TAG!!
The contractor said they have permission to go through his lease space and go through the back door to access the panel! I said.... Okay..what happens if you have an emergency and the guy next door is closed???
They asked would it be okay to put a door in the restroom...... uhhh NO!
