FYI the inspectors were focused on habitation because the complaint was for
habitation. But of course, it was also just as equally fire & building
code.. had anything significant been found. Because ppl (both omni and
non-omni) showed up on little notice and hustled, we passed both
inspections with flying colors.
I do have a reportback on this but I don't want to put it into an email,
let's just say I made many small decisions about how to walk each of them
through which helped us and I would like to share that with the group,
especially anyone who wants to learn this sort of stuff which we as a
community I think could really use.

word "Omni" so don't believe they called in the complaint.

Yes to what Ken said. We passed and the inspectors have been receiving so
many complaints that they were focused mainly on checking the building for
habitation. We also got the same fire inspector that passed us earlier in
the year. He remembered inspecting the building and deciding we were up to
code already.
I also spent 2 1/2 hours with a volunteer safety inspector. I took tons of
notes and will share the information with everyone. A lot of her findings
got fixed today though. I was really impressed with everyone who showed up
and helped today. It was an inspiring team effort and I love you all <3<3

Heyall,
Sounds like they, Fire and Building, were both satisfying the "complaints"
they got about multitudes of residents sleeping in the place. They both
said that they found no evidence of habitation but they went over the whole
place incidentally too. Expect details forthcoming.
Thanks Ken

Good hustle. Did a lot of things that should be done, inspection or not.
Looking forward to participating in capital improvements.

In case anyone else is still biting their finger nails: apparently we
passed!
I'm only getting this second hand via Maureen, but I'm sure David & Co
will have a more complete report whenever they get some time to write it
up.
Maureen also took copious notes from touring around with the free
independent inspector that happened to be scheduled today as well. There
are still plenty of areas where we can improve health & safety around the
building, even if we happened to pass the city's inspectors this time
around...

Hi, I need all rooms unlocked (or unlockable by me) by 1pm tomoro - we
will have a sudden visit by Fire and Building depts.
That means: Crows nest room, Liberated Lems room, TIL room, omni office,
Sudo under-stair storage, basement rooms, CCL / myco room, and any other
locked rooms I don't know about?
The post-ghostship-fire environment of intense litigation fears by the
city,
combined with a brand new bullshit habitation complaint,
combined with a recent SEP app filed with OPD,
combined with folks saying various things to the Planning Dept,
combined with our still-not-officially-finalled building permit to
remediate the 'building without a permit' violation aka the drywall in the
entrance hall...
...has this week refocused Fire and Inspections attention onto our beloved
Omni.
Please this is very important, anyone with keys or combos to these rooms
please get em unlocked or tell me how?
Joe liesner will be on hand for the inspection as well, in the event I
can't make it
Call / text me if there's any issue - 415-430-8362 <(415)%20430-8362>
