OFFICE OF INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS
800 CITY HALL
Atlanta, Georgia 30303
WILLIAM R. WOFFORD, P.E., R.A. April 16, 1969
INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS
CHARLES M. SMITH, E.E.
ASST. INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS
MEMORANDUM TO : The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
FROM ‘ W. R. Wort ore Ctl’
RE : Letter from Mr. Milton Stein
With reference to the attached letter from Mr. Milton Stein to
Romer Pittman, Assistant Chief Plumbing Inspector, I advise as follows:
Mr. Andrew Stevens, owner of a duplex residence at 404-406 Holderness
Street, S. W., is in the process of rehabilitating the structure to conform
to City standards. Mr. Stevens apparently worked out a deal with a plumber
to purchase certain supplies and to install new plumbing at the Holderness
Street address. The plumber did not secure a permit to do the plumbing
work. Mr. Haliburton, one of our Plumbing Inspectors, sought to find out
who was responsible for the plumbing installation and see that the required
permit was secured. He traced the materials used to the plumbing supply
warehouse owned by Mr. Stein. Mr. Stein does not install plumbing and
apparently his manager was reluctant to advise who the plumbing contractor
at the Holderness Street address was, if he knew.
Mr. Haliburton denies accusations in the letter that he threatened
Mr. Clark or anyone else, but says he sought their cooperation in order to
see that a plumbing permit was secured.
The plumber responsible for the installation has filed an application
for plumbing permit since the incident, which Mr. Stein wrote about, occurred.
The cost of the permit was $25.00 and I believe it is apparent that the
plumbing contractor sought to avoid paying the permit fee by not securing
a plumbing permit. The plumber who later took out a permit was in Mr. Stein's
supply house at the time of the incident when the inspector tried to find
out who installed the plumbing without first obtaining a permit, but would
not admit, at that time, that he had done the work.
We regret any inconvenience or embarrassment cause Mr. Milton Stein
because of this incident.
