Code enforcement officer reports ledge delays at Grama Joe’s, inspects hotel wiring and permitting
Summary
At the July 7 meeting, the code enforcement officer said Grama Joe’s construction has slowed after encountering ledge that must be mechanically removed, and reported that hotel wiring is being installed under a different electrician than the original permit lists; a state electrical inspector visit was scheduled for Friday.
At a July 7 meeting, the code enforcement officer reported that local construction at Grama Joe’s is proceeding more slowly and at greater cost after encountering ledge; crews are removing the ledge with jackhammers and excavators rather than blasting because water lines and nearby residences prevent blasting.
The officer said they had not received complaints about noise so far. "They can't blast because the water lines are too close," the officer said in the record, describing why crews are using mechanical means.
The officer also reported work at a nearby hotel: contractors have been installing a fire alarm panel and wiring to rooms, but the electrician currently performing the work is not the one listed on the original permit. "Owner claims they didn't know that they needed a permit because they already had one, but you can't work under somebody else's permit," the officer said. The officer said they will inspect the installation on Friday with the state electrical inspector.
A participant noted other projects may not start until spring 2027; the record quotes a projected spring 2027 start as the most likely timing for one stalled tenant or project.
What happens next: The officer will inspect the hotel wiring with the state electrical inspector; permit compliance or enforcement actions, if any, were not specified in the record.
