A resolution that News 12 obtained through the Freedom of Information Act explains the full extent of the punishment that Ramapo's embattled fire inspector will pay for his part in the safety breakdowns at several private schools.

Peltz was accused of ignoring safety code violations, including missing sprinklers, padlocked doors and broken exit signs, during his visits to at least 19 local private schools.

The resolution says former fire inspector Adam Peltz admitted that his own inspections were "inadequate and failed to identify code violations."

As a result, town leaders voted to demote Peltz to assistant fire safety inspector, forbid him to respond to fires in his capacity as a town employee and require him to undergo more training. Leaders also limited his use of town vehicles and suspended him for 60 days without pay.

News 12 tried to speak to Peltz at his Suffern home Wednesday, but he would not talk.

The fact that Peltz may be back on the job at Ramapo Town Hall in the next few weeks has fired up some residents.

Town leaders voted last week to give Peltz a second chance, prompting a furious reaction from the standing room-only meeting.

In their decision, board members cited Peltz's otherwise unblemished 17-year track record.

Reinspections are being conducted this week at about 19 private schools in the district.

Assemblyman Ken Zebrowksi is also pushing to pass a new law that would give the state the ability to crack down on negligent fire inspectors. The bill is under review in Albany.
