humidity and severe rains have brought on weaknesses. Heiger-Bernays asked if Dolben has had engineering advice to say this is a legitimate solution since the facility is located close to the water table even with the absence of heavy rains. Heiger-Bernays said she is concerned about the source of the water being three-fold: ground water beneath the slab, the runoff from the area around or the roof, and the condensation from the pipes. Williams said they are controlling the water but they would never be able to get rid of the water totally. Ms. Diotalevi stated that the moisture in Bldg. 25-27 is caused from the AC pipes sweating. She also said they had received options from a mechanical engineer to present to the owners. One option would be to replace the air conditioning system so no cold water would need to run through the pipes, therefore, eliminating condensation. Heiger-Bernays said these are violations and would like a plan to address issues in all buildings. Heiger-Bernays would also like to see the documentation from the mechanical engineer with recommendations and the plan to incorporate these recommendations in eliminating both the foundation issues and air conditioning condensation issues. Heiger- Bernays stated this is a very serious problem and wonders if the owner appreciates the magnitude of this problem and the impact on public health in this facility. This must be corrected with a permanent solution, if it exists. Heiger-Bernays requested a plan and timeline to meet these requirements in all buildings. Heiger-Bernays stated that because two tenants have come forward, there will likely be more coming forward. She asked of the process for notification to tenants of what is going on in common areas, the timeframe for correction, in the language that is understood by the tenants. The Board of Health would like to receive a copy of all notifications to tenants. Heiger-Bernays asked Cody if there are any building structural issues. Cody informed the Board that the Building Commissioner has been notified along with the Plumbing/Gas/Mechanical Inspector and Electrical Inspector. Diotalevi informed the Board that the Building Commissioner conducted an annual safety inspection two months ago in all the buildings. Cody will be doing a reinspection at 29 Captain Parker Arms to see if the violations cited in the order correct letter have been completed and then he will update the Board. Diotalevi informed the Board that the Klein’s at 29 Captain Parker Arms seem to have moved out because all of their belongings in the storage area and apartment there but they have not returned their keys. Diotalevi is working with her corporate office and attorney to see if there is a way to get the keys back and gain entry into the apartment. Diotalevi said the Klein’s lease expires in September 2008. In summation, Feldman recommended the following plan: 1.) conduct a hearing, th, tentatively set for August 11and 2.) Owners of CPA need to establish a timetable to correct the most critical violations. Cody suggested the Dolben Company attend the September 15, 2008 Board of Health Meeting. Heiger-Bernays suggested to Dolben, that communication with tenants is clearly important. Heiger-Bernays stated Ms. Klein had requested a hearing before the Board of Health. She will be offered August 11, 2008 or at the next Board of Health meeting on September 8, 2008.
