Sir:
Your communication dated February 6, 1984 to Fire Chief Robert J . Crowley
concerning the complaints of your clients of certain conditions alleged
to exist at Victoria Station Restaurant , 88 Wharf Street, Salem, Mass. has
been turned over to me as the Fire Marshal for the City of Salem.
This occupancy being located under residential occupancies , has apparently
been a problem in many ways for the persons who make their homes adjacent
to the restaurant. Because of several past complaints from the interested
parties , this office has made several inspections at this site. I have
personally spoken with the managers over the years and have inspected the
hood and duct system, both within the kitchen and on the roof.
The six month inspection of the fixed fire extinguishing system as required by
fire code is being complied with and a copy of the inspection report from
Phoenix Fire Services , Inc. has been filed in a timely manner with this office.
The duct system has been cleaned by Allstate Maintenance Co. as of Dec. 5, 1983,
and has been provided as an on going service based on need. The Salem
Health Department has made inspections from time to time and has felt the
duct work is being maintained in an appropriate manner. It is not feasable
for the Fire Prevention Bureau to set forth any specific cleaning timetable,
as the need for cleaning varies with the amount of use and activity at the
cooking area. This is a changeable condition which requires more cleaning
during the summer months when activity is greatest. The duct is satisfactory
as of this date.
The management has become aware of the worries of the residents and have
provided for a monthly service inspection by Balco, Inc. and I have been
furnished copies of the most recent reports of inspection. The inspections
have shown that certain items such as the fan belts must be replaced on
occasion and this has been done.
I have found that as of this date all conditions appear satisfactory at the
Victoria Station occupancy and that the management agrees to continue with the
inspection services for preventive maintenance. It would be appropriate for
the residents to inform the restaurant manager in writing, if they feel a
condition exists which should be attended to. However, the system appears
to be operating satisfactorily at this time.
