The worst health and safety code violations I have ever laid my eyes on

[Matthew_Kight]

All of these are in the same building as well.

1. The lights are going out on the second floor. some rooms are completely dark.
   
   
2. The lights in the exit stairs at the back of the building are off.
3. There are three different leaks in the ceiling.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. I found fire extinguishers that have not been inspected since 2011.
   
   
5. There is emergency lighting that is either misplaced, broken internally, or smashed
   
   
   
   
   
6. Meet the only pull station in the entire building.
   
   
7. Meet the only fire signal in the whole building. Or should I say on the whole OUTSIDE of the building. THIS IS THE ONLY SIGNAL ON THE WHOLE SYSTEM!!!
   
   
8. Security system: enough said.
   
   
9. Here is some haphazard electrical I found. Number one: electrical outlet without a back box.
   
   
   
   Number two: exposed wiring.
   
   

This whole building is an accident waiting to happen.

Man…you’re certainly not kidding on that last part! Thought about trying to have someone get the owner(s) to fix those problems? (since clearly they don’t care enough to do so themselves)

[Matthew_Kight]

This “building” is my church’s event center. I told the staff about this and hopefully something gets done!

Seems like it definitely could use an overhaul. My guess is that the building has suffered from years of not enough maintenance, and bad workmanship on the maintenance that has been done.

[TheCarson116]

Well that’s obvious I’d say, though going by just how much & how bad of maintenance neglect there clearly is it almost seems like it’s intentional (as in whoever manages the building just doesn’t care about keeping occupants safe).

[Matthew_Kight]

Update: I found more fails…

The fire extinguishers were an oversight on the company’s part.

[TheCarson116]

Damaged emergency light, missing fire extinguisher, & inoperative exit sign & security system…ay-yi-yi this place is a mess…

@Matthew_Kight

The fire extinguishers were an oversight on the company’s part.

Don’t see how given all the other deficiencies present!

[Matthew_Kight]

There is an industrial kitchen with a range fire suppression system and some fire extinguishers downstairs with 2025 inspection tags.

[TheCarson116]

Really? Of all rooms in that building the kitchen has the least deficiencies? Jeez…

[Matthew_Kight]

May I have your attention please, a fire emergency has been reported in the building.
While this is being verified, please leave the building using the nearest exit with dangerous stairs.
Do not use the elevator.

[TheCarson116]

Let me guess: no wheelchair ramps, thus leaving people in such unable to safely exit the building (without having to risk trying to slowly climb down those stairs at least) (though I suppose just the same that those stairs would be fairly dangerous for even non-handicapped individuals to use as well given the way they are).

[Matthew_Kight]

Unless they occupy the first floor, that’s very true.

[Matthew_Kight]

Update: I contacted my pastor (owner) of the building, and he said that he was well aware of the issues, but he doesn’t have enough help to get some of the smaller problems resolved. He also confirmed that the fire extinguishers were inspected, and the company missed the ones upstairs from 2011.

Edit: the back ceiling tiles pictured in the top post finally had enough. There is a pretty decent amount of damage.

I will update when the situation is resolved.

They need to replace that styrafoam before it becomes a plumbing issue.

[TheTornadoSirenFan]

That outlet plate also looks werid, and is that clear tape?
This building needs some work, that’s for sure
