Ted Dialinakis
600 N Greenwood Ave
(Life Safety Code)
Karl Whittleton, Life Hazard Safety Inspector, cited Mr. Dialinakis March 21, 1994, indicating a need to provide an approved automatic sprinkler system in the spray booth. A system
was installed, however, it was done without a permit and was not approved. Also, there was no backflow
prevention device, which is required. Mr. Dialinakis informed Mr. Whittleton he planned to move and would install one at the new facility. Inspector Whittleton stated he last inspected
the property September 26, 1994. Mr. Dialinakis is still at the location and the violation still exists.
Mr. Dialinakis stated he received estimates of over $3,000 from contractors. He then installed the system himself, unaware of the need for a permit. The inspector later told him he
needed a contractor to install a backflow prevention device. Mr. Dialinakis stated he was suppose to move to another location in August, but the contract fell through.
Mr. Dialinakis stated he was out of work September 15th through the end of October, due to an accident. He stated he paid the City to install the backflow device, and he provided a
copy of his receipt to Inspector Whittleton.
In response to a question regarding Mr. Dialinakis' receipt, Inspector Whittleton stated it seems to be in order.
In response to a question, Mr. Dialinakis stated when he paid the City on November 3rd to install the backflow device, he was told it would take a couple days. He does not know if the
work has been done.
Responding to a question regarding why no inspections were done between May and August, the Inspector stated the violator is suppose to call the Inspector when they are in compliance.
In closing, Inspector Whittleton stated either there is compliance or not, despite the cost factor and any misunderstanding. In response to a questions, he stated it is possible Mr.
Dialinakis is now in compliance.
Member Rogers moved to continue Case No. 56-94 to the next meeting. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
