Not where I really want to be
Mostly unsafe electrical issues.

Is anyone pro-active in these situations?

They have never pulled a permit since I have been in that town so I assume they never do any work.

How do or would you guys handle this?

It is a manufacturing facility
 
Are they doing work that required a permit? No permit required = no business of yours. Let them resolve their own issues with OSHA. I can not imagine wanting to get involved in that mix.
 
NY State requires regular - mostly annual - fire safety & property maintenance inspections on existing occupancies. Maybe some of those electrical issues could have been identified & corrected, but maybe not, depending....

I have written up electrical hazards, but never assessed a fine!
