Nick DiOomenico OBA Ternick Inc.
64 Bay Esplanade
(Building Code/Permits)
TomChaplinsky, Construction Inspections Supervisor, stated this case involves
work he; ng done wi thout a permi t. Th i s is a mote 1 bu i1 ding, and the owner of the
building obtained a permit to add on a two-story addition. The upstairs portion of
the add i t ion, wh i ch was expand i n9 an apartment to make two bedrooms, and the
downstairs portion under the upstairs bedrooms, which was an expansion for a laundry
room and an office, were both inspected, approved and certificates of occupancy
issued. At some later date after issuance of the certificate of occupancy, some
additional work was performed in the units in that the opening on the newly created
two bedrooms was closed off, and a kitchen was installed in one of the two rooms.
That created another rental unit. Downstairs, the original plan was a laundry room
and an office, each with a water closet and a lavatory. After the certificate of
occupancy was issued, each of these units had a shower installed and a kitchenette
unit. This work was done without a permit. There are other problems regarding
zoning which will have to be addressed in order to get the work permitted. City
submitted exhibit A - a copy of the original plan as permitted and certificate of
occupancy issued, and exhibit 8 - a copy of a proposed plan. An application was
received for work completed, which indicates the present existing conditions and for
which no permit has been issued.
Case "0. 46-91
~:
In response to a question, Mr. Chaplinsky stated the proposed plan submitted
will be rejected because it does not contain the complete plan, it only contains one
of the downstairs rooms. It does contain the two rooms upstairs as they have been
modified, and shows proposed additional changes. When they remove one kitchen
upstairs and install a dOOf, it will be back to a two bedroom unit as the original
plan proposed. The new plan does not depict the office, but it is a mirror image
of the laundry room. He stated it was submitted to the City yesterday.
In response to questions! he stated it is the Cavalier Motel. He stated the
application submitted is not completed, and the drawing as submitted will not be
approved by zoning and, therefore, a permit can not be issued. The problem lies
with the shower and kitchenette. In response to a question, Mr. Chaplinsky stated
it will require removal of plumbing to bring it to code, and a permit will be
required fal' the required work. He stated it will also require inspections,
possibly opening up of some walls, for the new kitchen upstairs. Mr. Chaplinsky
stated a letter of complaint, received from a neighbor, instituted the inspection.
Mr. DiDomenico, President of Ternick, Inc., stated he'purchased the motel and
spent $200,000 to upgrade the motel. He stated Ternick, Inc. is a family business.
Mr. DiDomenico questioned the assumption that a room is being used as a motel unit.
He stated he is willing to correct the violation; however, he stated he has to be
out of town due to business problems. He will be back the first of November at
which time he would like to work with Mr. Chaplinsky to correct the situation.
Discussion ensued regarding the original plan and zoning, and it was stated
the original plan was permitted as proposed as an office and laundry. The added
bathing facilities were not approved or permitted.

In response to a question, Mr. Chaplinsky stated the permit could be acquired
with removal of some of the plumbing that was added after the certificate of
occupancy was issued, and without a permit. Regarding Mr. DiDomenico's concern that
he will be out of town until November 1st, Mr. Chaplinsky stated this is commercial
property and there is a licenser contractor who has applied for a permit. A few
weeks to complete the work is acceptable. All that is involved is to remove some
plumbing fixtures, open the wall upstairs to make it one unit, and to provide holes
in the wall for inspections of the plumbing.
Mr. DiDomenico stated a condition of approval was removal of an aluminum shed
used for storage. Now they don1t have any room for storage, so part of the laundry
room is used. The upstairs was closed off for their teenagers.
Tom Chaplinsky stated, in closing, Mr. DiDomenico does not deny the work was
done wi thout a perm'i t. The 0 ther issues have not been cited. I n response to a
question regarding how much time is needed to comply, he stated three weeks would
be adequate. Due do the nature of the work, Mr. DiDomenico doesn't need to be here.
Mr. DiDomenico stated he would like to be here to oversee the work because he
doesn't know the contractor. In response to a question regarding posting those
areas of the property that are not to be occupied, Mr. DiDomenico stated he would
do that only for the downstairs.
In response to a question, Mr. Chaplinsky stated the upper units may have
electrical work that was not inspected which could be a danger. He stated the work
required could be accompl ished in a short period of time. In response to a
question, he stated the original notice of violation was issued in May.
In closing, Mr. DiDomenico stated the last meeting he had with City personnel
was in August. At that time, he could not do the work because the motel didn't have
much business, and he didn1t have the money. He stated he was just starting to
improve on the property. At that time, the shower in the office was the problem.
In response to a question, Mr. Chaplinsky stated they have an architect
working with them on the plans. It was stated it is in the architect's scope of
responsibility to see that the work is done properly. He stated his understanding
was the upstairs was to be th~ ownerts or manager's, apartment with the office and
laundry room immediately below. As it turns out, however, the owner's unit is at
the furthest end of the building.
Discussion ensued regarding whether an order could require completion of the
work, as well as obtaining a permit. Mr. Salzman advised the Board the order could
only address the violation for which Mr. DiDomenico was cited, that is, not having
a permit.
Mrs. Riley moved that concerning Case No. 46-91 regarding violation of Section
137.006(b) of the City Code on property located at 64 Bay Esplanade aka Mandalay

enforcement. John Richter, Code Enforcement Manager, reviewed the ordinance and
stated second reading is scheduled for October 3rd. He stated they are making
another amendment to impose a penalty for repeat violators.
Mr. Zinzow requested the status of the ticketing process. John Richter stated
it is now in effect and has been used successfully as leverage to get compliance.
He stated no tickets have been issued because people have corne into compliance.
There are some difficulties for the Code Inspectors issuing tickets. The Inspector
has to issue the ticket to the violator, some of which might be out of state or just
not answering their door.
