Dear Ms. Hill:

We have received your claim regarding an injury sustained in your home on 10/15/2023.

Regarding your request for the removal of motion sensor lights, we regret to inform you that Richmond cannot comply due to the County Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards Code, which prohibits such removal.
"In bathrooms, garages, laundry rooms, and utility rooms, manual-on/ automatic- off occupant sensors automatically turn lights off if an occupant forgets to turn them off when a room is unoccupied.

Additionally, these sensors should readily provide the occupant with the option of turning the lights off manually upon leaving the room. This option should be available without having to remove the switch plate or any other modifications to the sensor. The manual-off feature is critical because it provides the occupants with the flexibility to control the lighting environment to their satisfaction, and results in greater energy savings by allowing the occupants to turn off the lights when they are not needed.

Occupant sensors must be "manual-on", i.e., the sensors must not have the ability to turn the lights on automatically and must not have a setting that can leave the lights in a permanent-on position. If a manual-on occupant sensor has an on/off switch to put the sensor into a temporary programming mode, the on/off programming switch must automatically switch off (for example, within 15 minutes) in the event the end user or installer leaves it in the programming mode." Regrettably, we must respectfully deny your claim and the request for the removal or alteration of motion sensor lights in your home. Thank you for your understanding.
