Re: Swimming Pool Bather Gate
Dear Mr. Graham:
This is to serve as a follow up to my September 19, 2018 site visit to inspect the installation of the
swimming pool barrier gate closer. On June 22, 2017 you and I met on site and discussed the
installation of a spring mechanism that would cause the bather gate to self-close artd self—latch, as
require pursuant to 780CMR,Appendix G,Section 105.2,para. 8,Eighth Edition building Code,copy
enclosed. You stated you would install springs so the gate would self-close.
During this recent inspection I observed that a spring mechanism has not been installed and the gate
latch does not engage without having to lift the gate. I left a note with a lady at the front door noting
this and requesting you contact me. F'
Accordingly,because of the life/safety nature and the longevity of this matter,you are hereby advised
that failure to take immediate corrective action,will result in the issuance of tickets with an associated
fines of$100-First Offense,$500-Second Offense and$1,500 for subsequent offenses. Tickets of this
nature are issued pursuant to MGL Chapter 148A and the State Building Code.
Finally,I consider a second offence to have occurred when abatement has not taken place within seven
(7)days.
So ordered,/ 444
ames D. Brandolini,
Deputy Building Commissioner
