RE: 840 John St.
As you are aware, we have been working toward a resolution for addressing the flame roll out on the
boiler located at this address. It has been our position, and the fire departments position that there is no
way that a boiler could be considered safe if it has a flame roll out problem. While you did provide us a
copy of a letter from GMS, Inc that stated "flames fill the combustion chamber in normal fashion for this
style of boiler" it did not state this was a safe operating boiler. In fact when this letter was questioned,
GMS would not state that the boiler was operating in a safe manner, and in fact sent a letter
recommending replacement.
As in the past, it is our position that the flame roll out condition is an unsafe situation and is required to
be corrected, either by repair or replacement. We have been very patient in allowing you time to correct
this matter, and must insist that this be taken care of in the next 30 days in order to avoid citations being
issued. Please let me know when I can expect compliance with this matter.
If you have any further questions, please give me a ca11236-5051.
Respect
