Town updates remediation plan for fire‑safety deficiencies at 32 Commons
Summary
Officials reported contractors engaged to address electrical and fire‑alarm deficiencies found during a July 2 inspection at 32 Commons, and the town will pursue a feasibility study and cost estimates for larger upgrades; some minor fixes may be done by maintenance staff.
Town officials updated the council on remediation work to address fire‑safety deficiencies cited in an inspection of 32 Commons completed July 2. The town administrator said contractors, including an electrical contractor (Steve Madden Electric), will perform required work; fire‑alarm and wiring upgrades will likely require a new panel and metal‑clad/conduit wiring, which will need a proposal and cost estimate.
Councilmembers and staff discussed several smaller items that could be handled by maintenance staff or volunteers, including replacing an expired portable fire extinguisher, repairing a door closure, and removing combustible storage from the boiler room. The town will pursue a feasibility study and cost estimates for more extensive upgrades and return to the council with recommendations.
Officials said the approach is to assign tasks and show the state that the town is taking corrective action to avoid enforcement or dereliction findings.
