Re: Combustion Air Source
Jerry, I would have to agree with you. The builder is not likely to do anything else. This subject of other units having the same problem never came up. I think what happened was the city inspector royally screwed up so the codes administrator wanted to quickly resolve the issue at hand and step back out of the situation. I spoke to several of the cities code inspectors and none of them really had a grasp on the code except for the administrator. Everyone in the office was dragging their feet on the issue until the administrator had time to dig into the problem and come up with an answer. It really made me question the competency of their personnel and to be honest it was a little frightening. When that many people can look at a bad setup and think that its alright, that is scary. I don't even want to know what else they missed or allowed since I only came in on the tail end of the deal. I was thinking about putting together a letter and sending it to the other owners detailing the findings and offering to inspect for these same conditions in their units. Still not decided if I want to go that route. I may be a little naive but where I grew up, your word and integrity were everything. Even if you had to spend a little bit more time or money to make something right....you did it. Your quality of service was more important than your profit margin. I know we all need to make a living and reduce our liabilities but at what point do you sacrafice your principles and integrity to make a buck? Just my thoughts.
