As I stated in my previous email below, you must contact the Building Department at least once every 2 weeks to provide a progress report for the outstanding items on the fire inspection report; the malfunctioning elevator and the unlabeled/mis-labeled electrical panels. The other outstanding item is the open permit for the new automatic sliding glass front doors, which has been expired since December 20, 2020. You may provide progress reports via email to all copied here, but to schedule an inspection you must call the Building Department at, (914) 939-0668 and speak directly to our staff. To comply with the BOT Resolution, you must vigorously work to resolve these outstanding items to the satisfaction of the code. Thank you. A4d(7, Izzo Building& Fire Inspector Village of Rye Brook, NY (914) 939-0668 From:Sylvia Tosun <sylvia@spindlehill.com> Sent:Thursday, October 13, 2022 11:19 AM To: Mike Izzo<Mlzzo@ryebrook.org> Cc:Steven Fews<SteveFews@ rye brook.org>; Laura Petersen<LPetersen@ryebrook.org>;Tara Orlando <torlando@ryebrook.org>; Christopher Bradbury<CBradbury@ryebrook.org> Subject: Re: 699 Westchester Ave. Catering Business Dear Mr. Izzo, Thank you for your email and also for providing a copy of the Approval Resolution. Please be assured that we have been and will continue to be working aggressively and vigorously to correct all deficiencies. The Kitchen Operation resumed their tenancy as of October 1, 2022, for which we are grateful to have been granted executive permission by the Village Board of Trustees on September 13, 2022. 1 That same week, I delivered and submitted Fire Inspection Applications to the Building Department for three additional areas of the property,and had composed a work schedule focusing on those areas to be corrected and prepared for Inspection within the following week or two. However, when we were informed at that time,the Kitchen Operation would not begin moving back in until the end of the month, we redirected our efforts back to the Main Kitchen and surrounding rooms in order to fine tune, and meticulously address more of the areas in greater detail. This work included several days of emptying out the large storage rooms, dismantling and sanitizing all of the shelving units, discarding many more unnecessary items and discovering a few unforeseen issues to be corrected,then scheduling a 3 day process of resurfacing the floors with polyaspartic coating, allowing it to set for another couple of days before moving the items back in with a more organized set-up,all in an effort to show by example, the high quality conditions we would expect the Kitchen Operation to maintain moving forward. All other areas of the property have concurrently been and continue to be addressed on a daily basis and we have made significant and noticeable progress. Please accept my sincere apology for being remiss in following up. My sense of perfectionism has superseded my sense of timing. While there are still some outstanding items in progress, to be completed, please know that your presence here, is most welcome at any time; scheduled or not. Your continued guidance and generosity of time is a great blessing for us and we look forward to working with you in rejuvenating and restoring this beautiful property to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for the Village of Rye Brook and guests. Please let me know how best to proceed. Should I call your office to schedule an appointment for a progress review? Would you like me to send a written progress report? Would you like to stop by at your convenience? We are here, everyday, working, and our door is always open for you. Most deferentially, Sylvia Tosun Rye Hotel LLC On Oct 11, 2022, at 3:41 PM, Mike Izzo<mizzo@rvebrook.org>wrote: Dear Ms. Tosun, As you know, on September 1, 2022, the Building Department issued an Operating Permit for Rye Hotel LLC (the Hotel) to allow Abigail-Kirsch to operate a catering business from the existing Hotel kitchen with the understanding that the Hotel would seek to correct all outstanding deficiencies and contact the Building Department for follow-up inspections, and seek and obtain executive permission for same from the Village Board of Trustees (BOT). Subsequently on September 13, 2022, the BOT did grant such executive permission, and a copy of their conditional approval resolution is attached hereto for your review and convenience. 2 • I call your attention to condition letter d. of the attached approval resolution which states in part that the Hotel shall continue to vigorously seek to correct all deficiencies and continue to schedule follow-up inspections with the Building Department. The catering business has been in operation since September 1, 2022, and to date the Hotel has not contacted the Building Department for anything. Please contact the Building Department immediately to schedule a progress inspection for the outstanding deficiencies. Furthermore,you are hereby directed to continue to contact the Building Department at least once every two (2) weeks for progress reports or to schedule progress or final inspections to clear all deficiencies. Please note that failure on the Hotel's part to "vigorously seek to correct all deficiencies", and "continue to call the Building Department for follow-up inspections", as directed above, will result in the issuance of a Stop Work Order to cease and desist the catering operation. Further note that it is not the role or the responsibility of the Building Department to continue to remind the Hotel of their obligations, but merely to enforce the Code as prescribed by law. As such the Hotel will be receiving no further reminders from the Building Department in this regard. By way of this email, I am requesting that my Supervisor, Mr. Bradbury share this information with the Village Board of Trustees. Thank you.
