Obligation statement
Engineer A was obligated to escalate the electrical and mechanical code violations — which he knew could cause injury to current occupants of the 60-year-old occupied apartment building — to appropriate public enforcement authorities (building code officials, fire marshal, or housing authorities), recognizing that the occupants' ongoing exposure created an immediacy requiring affirmative escalation beyond client notification.
Temporal scope
Upon learning of the electrical and mechanical code violations and their potential to injure current occupants
