Special Building Inspections

• All above units should have received the above.

• All units should comply with the orders regarding these “Special Building Inspections.”

• Inspections should only be done during daylight hours.

• In some Divisions, there are a very large number of buildings that need to be inspected; accordingly, units should inspect as many as humanly possible.

• It appears that these inspections are to take place over the weekend, when finding a competent person may be a problem.  If so, note this on report.

• It appears that these inspections are to supercede Multi-Unit Drill or any other scheduled activities.  If you are in doubt, contact the Battalion and/or Division.

• We should understand the need for these inspections, however four days, including Saturday and Sunday will be problematic for those units with large numbers of buildings to be inspected.

• Those units who have the above problem, or encounter heavy fire duty should file a letterhead report with the report to Operations.  This separate report should clearly state the difficulties encountered (ie. Too many buildings; insufficient time to inspect; 3rd alarm, etc.).  Also fax a copy to the UFOA at (212) 292-1560.

If you have any problems, remember that a UFOA Representative is available 24/7.
