Facility Overview
Fitzgerald Finishing provides surface preparation and powder-coating services for automotive and industrial parts. Operations include sandblasting, coating in enclosed booths, and oven curing. The site occupies a compact parcel off Filer Avenue east of Ryan Road, surrounded by small manufacturers and residential blocks.
Compliance & Enforcement History
An EGLE inspection report (June 2022) documented incomplete coating-use records and filter maintenance logs. A corrective action plan was accepted, and no further notices appear in EPA ECHO. The plant currently meets its permit conditions.
Community Impact
Odors from solvent-based cleaning and fine coating powder can escape during venting cycles, adding to the cumulative industrial odor mix felt across the Filer-Ryan corridor. Residents report short-term irritation but no major spills or complaints since 2022. The facility is typical of smaller emitters that collectively shape air quality on Detroit’s east side.
