W. Willson, for the subject buildings leased and permitted occupancy of all twelve units without requesting the required final inspection by the Building Department. Although each unit has electricity, none of them have gas and consequently no hot water. Following our discovery that the units were occupied, we have made considerable effort to work with the contractor to get the buildings completed. He has not been cooperative and has not demonstrated any urgency in correcting all the deficiencies. On Monday, September 25, 1989, his Superintendent advised us that the buildings were not ready for a final inspection. Today, September 27, an inspector visited the site and observed that the contractor's personnel were not present. A discussion with tenants revealed that the contractor has not been on the job. We have attempted to contact Mr. Willson to advise him that gas could be released on two buildings if he posted a completion bond for unfinished work, but the phone calls aren't answered. Tenants have had the same experience in attempting to contact Mr. Willson. We will try again tomorrow to get Mr. Willson to post the necessary bond so gas can be released.
