Cebu City – Gikonpirma sa Office of the Building Official (OBO) sa Syudad sa Sugbo, Miyerkules, September 22, 2021, nga ang Cebu City Medical Center (CCMC) wala pay occupancy permit, bisan kon gigamit na kini alang sa outpatient services.
Gipahibaw ni City Administrator Floro Casas Jr., nga gi trabaho na sa Department of Engineering and Public Works (DEPW) ang nahisgutang permit.
Sa iyang bahin, matod ni OBO Head Florante Catalan nga iya nang gipahibaw ang buhatan sa City Administrator, mayor’s office ug ang DEPW nga gikinahanglang mo apply sila ug una sa dili pa gamiton ang medical facility.
“For the record, wa pa mi nadawat (we haven’t received), as of now, nga applications,” butyag ni Catalan kagahapon, Miyerkules.
Ang komentarista sa radio nga si Arturo Barrit, sa iyang Facebook post, nanawagan kang Catalan ug iyang gipahibaw ang naulahi labot sa kalapasan sa Cebu City Government sa building code gumikan kay wala kini occupancy permit sa CCMC.
Mabasa ang mensahi ni Barrit : “The CCMC is operating and occupying the structure sans occupancy permit, also known as certificate of occupancy. Catalan boasted for faster processing of building and occupancy permit(s) due to the use of OBO Information System V2, a digital system of approving permits. But a reliable source from his office confided (to me) that the city-run hospital has not been issued an occupancy permit. In either case, then, there is no such thing as partial or temporary occupancy permit. That is illegal.”
Section 309 of the National Building Code mandates that “no building or structure shall be used or occupied and no change in the existing use or occupancy classification of a building or structure or portion thereof shall be made until the building official has issued a certificate of occupancy therefore as provided in this code.”
It further states that a certificate of occupancy shall be issued by the building official within 30 days, only if building or structure is found compliant with the provisions of the building code “after final inspection and submission of a certificate of completion.”
Ang certificate of occupancy kinahanglang i post o i display sa bantang nga lugar sa premises ug dili kini tangtangon gawas lang sa mando sa building official, basi sa building code.
Pormal nga gibuksan ang CCMC alang sa unang tulo ka andana niadtong Sabado, September 18.
Ang unang tulo ka andama maka accommodate kini ug 200 beds.
Nagpadayon sab ang pag transfer sa tanang mga equipment gikan sa daan nga CCMC building, kilid sa Bureau of Fire Protection 7.
Kadtong mga non-Covid patients sa hospital gipang balhin sab sa bag-ong building.
