The stores are empty at this point.
00:30
He's saying that they've making tenant space?
00:32
That's correct.
00:33
He said somebody's moving in, but he doesn't know how far along they are, and he does not have a key for it.
00:40
How about the stores on the exposure sides? Can we get into them?
00:46
Can we check with the security turns?
00:47
I don't smell anything.
00:48
They're smelling it, though, right at the meter itself.
00:50
We'll check in 148 and 145.
00:54
And probably have to go around the front hill.
00:55
We maybe just bang on the doors and see if an employee comes?
00:58
They can do that.
00:59
I'll walk around the front just in case.
01:00
Guys, just let me know if somebody asks us to see you banging on the door.
01:03
Hey, if that security guard doesn't have keys, ask him to get out of his golf cart and go around to the front of the stores.
01:09
There's no golf cart here.
01:10
Security is going to check and see if the tenants that are moving into the building are still here.
01:15
To see if they have a key and can let us in.
01:17
Defragation, command. Go ahead.
01:18
The guy with the key is going to let us in a couple minutes here.
01:21
Okay. Well, we're on the Charlie side[1] of the building.
01:23
Do you feel that it's a problem with one of the meters? If so, can we mark the meter somehow? And we're not going to wait for UGI[4] if it's just an outside issue.
01:32
Chief, when I was there, I couldn't smell anything.
01:35
I wouldn't be surprised it was just a burp that happens, but again, I'm not back there, so they may be better to give you that answer.
01:42
Chief, it's the meter right to the right of door 146, and me and Kevin do smell just gas odor, but I think it's isolated just to the meter itself.
01:51
