Re: Red Jacket Beach Certificate of Inspection
Dear Mr. Moore:
Pursuant to earlier communications between the Building Department and the Red Jacket Beach,
concerning the locked door which blocks the second means of egress from the Wheelhouse 2
function room, I am sending you this letter as a memorandum of understanding.
During my inspection visit of July 27, 2004, I noted that a deadbolt which requires key access had
been installed in the door leading from the balcony outside the function room to the 2 d floor deck
surrounding the swimming pool. Since this door is a necessary part of the exit access for the
function room, I therefore listed the lock as a violation in my Inspection and License Report.
On August 16, 2004, Mr. Paul McBride, acting on behalf of the Red Jacket Beach, informed Mr.
James Brandolim, the Building Commissioner, that the door lock would be removed, and a gate
with a latch conforming to MA Building Code regulations would be installed at the head of the
stairs leading from the 2 d floor deck to the swimming pool. It was agreed that this would serve
as an effective remedy for the violation.
Upon my further inquiry, I was told by you that the installation of this gate would not take place
until after the Red Jacket Beach had closed for the season on October 31, 2004. You agreed that
the Wheelhouse 2 function room would not be used for assembly purposes (fifty people or more)
before the installation was complete and had been inspected by this department. In response to
my later inquiries, you left a message on my voice mail that the gate would be installed before re-
opening in 2005.
As you are aware, the Certificate of Inspection for the Red Jacket Beach, which lapsed on March
7, 2004, has not yet been reissued, because the violation has not yet been corrected.

Please be advised that: 1) The Wheelhouse 2 function room may not be used for assembly
purposes until the violation has been remedied and inspected, and 2) The Red Jacket Beach
cannot be issued a valid Certificate of Inspection until the violation is remedied and inspected.
The Board of Health has been notified of this violation, and will also inspect the swimming pool.
