He assured me that they were working with an electrical contractor and National Grid to repair the problem. He also referred -me to Mike Hamilton of Great Northern Property Management Company, Mr. Hamilton also said he was aware of the problem and was working with the condo association to correct the situation. The weather has been a large factor in the progress of this repair. The repair would be to add an additional common area bypass meter enclosure and main breaker assembly to remove the parking lot and post lighting now on the tenants units electrical metering through- out the condo complex. Note: six units; 3-4-5 family dwelling units On the February 22, 2011 an electrical contractor representing Stacy drive condo complex came to the Building Department to acquire an electrical permit to work the electrical systems (six units involved) At that point the contractor was unable to order any listed parts due to the age of the existing installed equipment and was unclear what would be allowed for a repair due to the large cost of new equipment ... EST cost of parts .... $2,500- $3,000 2,500-$3,000 for each unit. He asked for a job site meeting later in the day and told him not to make out the permit until it was decided what had to be done -at the __Jmplex and National Grid servo number are acquired . Job Site Findings (1) The existing meter service equipment must be replaced with new service equipment due to the age, rusted internal components and lack of listed new parts. The existing service equipment will not support installing additional metering devices. (2) Underground service feeder piping —excessive rusting @ ground level, replace with PVC and expansion fittings. Due to the scope of the fob which requires existing underground conduits replacement, job startup will not be until good spring weather arrives. This is not an emergency situation or life safety issue HL his time, the condo association is trying to resolve this situation, ASAP. Mrs. Houle is clearly frustrated with the situation and has stated during a 25 minute phone conversation on 2-28-11, that the town of North Andover was doing more for the condo association than for herself. The accusations made by Mrs. Houle are unjustified and uncalled for.
