Well I was just in this building today and from my observation of this place it seemed pretty much average for a building of this age. I will say there are worse places in Century that serve the public and are not on the DEP’s radar. It is somewhat sad that Century has not done at least a little more to help keep Doctors and medical professionals for its residents unlike Jay which has no issues in that regard.

Come on people. Why should it be OK for Dr. Bachman to disregard safety guidelines that are in place for a reason? When all other healthcare providers are held accountable. Who’s going to pay when there’s an accident/lawsuit??
And if he’s noncompliant with those issues; who knows how many more standards he’s not maintaining.

REGARDING:
“What is that black stuff on the building’s bricks? Is that black mold? Could a application of muriatic acid get this off? Looks awful.”

Doubt it, lichen, methinks. Regardless, bleach will kill it and restore it to look like brand new.
Cut it, say 3 or 4 water to one bleach (Which is 5.25% sodium hypochlorite.), spray it on, leave 10 to 20 minutes, wash it off if you wish even though the bricks don’t care.

Or leave it, all old masonry looks like that unless removed.

Dr. Bachman is a great physician and his staff is excellent and very professional. I would stand behind him and his staff anytime. This whole ordeal is just a crock of crap. The government needs to leave this exceptional physician and his staff alone. Let them do what they were trained to do (help people).

I’m not young enough to know everything but @fred your comments seems to make a lot of sense to me. Fighting and ego Will get in the way of real sincere progress. And once you get the eyes on you looking ie DEP. They will find all kinds of things wrong. Waiting to be physically escorted out may not be the best outcome.

Doesn’t sound like we are hearing the whole story from either side. Wish someone would explain what is really going on! Although, it is odd that most all the doctors have left Century.

I thought this doctor went out of business since a few yrs. ago he dropped his patients and sent their records to other doctors in century………..I’ve been in the building ………it certainly does need some major maintenance……not to mention the smell of mold in the building………

Hope you get to stay and continue your mission. The pictures of the office make me think the place is in good shape. Sorry for your difficulties. I’m sure once you started to be scrutinized it is very frustrating. I hope to see a good outcome.

This situation concerning Dr. Bachman is really disheartening to me, because he’s such a caring Doctor. We live in a “self-serving”, “it’s all about me” world nowadays and people don’t care about the fact that you’re doing a great service to your community and fellow man. All that matters is that you have something they NEED or WANT and they’re going to get it by any means necessary. I believe that someone wants that building and they’re going to do whatever it takes to get it, that’s the bottom line. I realize that nowadays most people don’t exhibit christian character because most people aren’t christians, but if you do claim to be one, then you should be doing just what Dr. Bachman is doing, being of service to others. That’s one of our main duties as christians.. I just want to tell Dr. Bachman that God has already gotten this worked out. Just be patient.
