Decision Question
Should Engineer A notify Jones (the current property owner) before or simultaneously with contacting the town supervisor, or is routing the safety concern exclusively through the town supervisor sufficient to discharge his ethical obligation?
Focus
Engineer A — Original Designer Post-Sale Safety Notification Sequencing: Whether Engineer A should have notified Jones, the current property owner, before or simultaneously with contacting the town supervisor upon learning of the structurally compromising barn modification.
Option1
Issue a written safety notification to Jones as the current property owner before or simultaneously with contacting the town supervisor, identifying the specific structural concern — removal of load-bearing columns and footings — and recommending that Jones retain a licensed structural engineer to assess the modification's adequacy under severe snow load conditions.
Option2
Contact the town supervisor as the primary regulatory authority first, then follow up with written notification to Jones if the supervisor fails to act within a defined response period, treating regulatory escalation as the appropriate first channel given the absence of a current client relationship with Jones.
Option3
Route the safety concern exclusively through the town supervisor as the official regulatory authority with enforcement power, on the basis that Engineer A has no current client relationship with Jones and that regulatory channels are the appropriate mechanism for addressing structural safety concerns on property Engineer A no longer owns.
