Watch your step at Xoaping

[Cabinmon]

I went to see Wendy yesterday with my 8 x5 photos of my facial injuries yesterday. I assured her I was appearing as a friend and not trying to stir up trouble. She knows about the danger plus with the eaves trough downspout right there that makes the situation even more treaturous,. The landlord who owns the building also owns the large restaurant on the lot. She asked me to go speak with him. I went and spoke with the manager. He asked me to go talk to ZPing. Nothing will change

Wendy is correct in that the owner of the property is responsible unless it's an issue that Wendy caused through her own inaction. If tenants are required to clear their sidewalks in front of their establishments of snow and ice and do not, then the tenant could be held responsible were you to slip and fall. In this case, Wendy/XP has no control over the parking barriers, so this is up to the landlord. Not sure you'd have much of a case though as those types of barriers are very common, so it's not unreasonable to expect them to be there.

Does Wendy run/own Xping?

 

[bigbill]

It's my understanding Wendy and Linda together do

I apologized for my inept posting skills but the larger diagram shows the recommendations for the parking lot blocks. Tight to the sidewalk, not 18 inches away.and look at the eaves trough down spout which will dump moisture 9 months of the year. NOT to mention the open LIVE electrical box with to protective cover

They just refinished the face of the strip-mall. All the stucco and trim- even that rock pillar is all new. Maybe with covid the renovations got interrupted (as shown by the electrical box) and that things will eventually be corrected?? (Just trying to give them the benefit of the doubt...)

Yes, I would suggest the junction box is for a heat tape that will be in the downspout to prevent freeze ups in winter (and on a GFI circuit). Assume it will be finished prior to that. Having done a lot of exterior structural and construction work on commercial buildings in the past, older buildings like this are not designed with deep enough sidewalks. The blocks are placed to stop vehicles from hitting the structure, as well as people on the sidewalk, plus to provide full use of the walk. Putting the blocks against the sidewalk would do nothing to prevent this. What your plan shows is merely a concept.
I could look into it, but I can't remember any specific building code criteria for the blocks. There definitely are code requirements now for new builds with regards to accessibility and clearances. Older buildings don't have to upgrade unless there is a major revision to the building.

You could 'lawyer up' and look at claiming against the property, but I think it would be an exercise in futility. No harm in asking though, you could get an opinion from one.

If we were all provided with that biohazard suit, we would have never had to close anything down. It would have been a lot cheaper than giving most every one, 2,000 per month. Lmaoff!!!!!!!!!!!!
