On the morning of October 12th, 2023, during field inspections, Code Officer Ashton Gentry, observed and photographed workers and work materials in the parking lot adjacent to 1015 Fleming St. (Eden House).  He approached the worker on-site who identified himself as Shawn Hollan of 5th Carpentry out of Sarasota, Fl.  Shawn stated he was building stairways and decks on the property.  Shawn stated he was not a licensed contractor and did not have permits for work.  The property 1510 Fleming St. (Eden House) has an active permit for Pool resurfacing only.  The work documented on site included extensive demolition of old decks and stairways and framing of new stairways and decks.  The general manager of the property having daily plumbing issues being resolved by Patti the Plumber and the pool area also had a new concrete foundation that was included in the work of a pool resurfacing permit (BLD2023-2218).  The general manger also gave us background information on the work crews, scope of the demolition, and scope of ongoing work at the site.  The manager also informed us that Tomkins Electric, LLC had added or replaced 5 new electrical service units.  The general manager informed us that Shawn and 5TH Carpentry were hired by the owner of the hotel to oversee the construction and most of the labor was being performed by the  hotel maintenance staff at the direction of the owner.  All parties were informed to cease all work and secure the construction areas until all licensing and permitting issues had been resolved.  A Stop Work Order was posted on the front of the building, a code case has been opened, evidence photos stored and body cam video stored.
