<br />no supervision. The Department is reviewing applications, and is confident that a <br />candidate will be brought on board in January 2008. Also in January, a part-time data <br />entry clerk will be hired to assist staff in building a new commercial fire inspection <br />database. <br /> <br />7C <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Implementation of the plan began in December with Fire Prevention Personnel <br />conducting commercial occupancy inspections during their normal day off. Depending <br />upon the complexity of the business, an inspector can conduct an average of five <br />commercial occupancy inspections per week. This is only one component of the plan <br />alreadyiJi ptaceand functioning. Full implementation is expected to occur in January <br />2008, and will include the remaining aforementioned staffing measures (Operations <br />personnel on overtime basis and/or a civilian fire safety inspector). <br /> <br />Of the 630 occupancies that require a fire permit, approximately 40% (252) have <br />already been inspected in 2007 utilizing current fire prevention staff. These inspections <br />include places of assembly (restaurants, halls, theaters, etc.), service stations, and a <br />number of repair shops and manufacturing plants. It is estimated that the remaining 378 <br />inspections, approximately 60%, will be completed by June of 2008. This projection is <br />based on an assumption that three personnel will each devote one full day per week to <br />inspections. Therefore, this will average five inspections per person, or a total of fifteen <br />per week. This projection does not include the necessary re-inspection of many of the <br />occupancies that will require follow-up visits to ensure code compliance. <br /> <br />Commercial Occupancy Inspection Plan for Entities with Fire Permits: Timeline <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />.
