Ted de Budden From: Donald Cunningham Sent: Thursday,April 19, 2018 5:04 PM To: Ted de Budden;Tony Lee Subject: 2201 Highland Ted- I have not been able to print photos yet, but here are my notes so far for today's inspection. Thanks! Don (4/19/2018 10:05:23 AM DSC)Action Created Inspected property with Ted de Budden, new owner Briana Nasman,and contractor's brother. We found new alteration to the basement level,the basement level did have occupied bedrooms-with new egress compliant windows-a sitting room was created, and a utility room remained unoccupied.The room at the NW corner was partially finished and had rebuilt stairs that led up to the next level.On the main level,two bedrooms on the S wall had been enlarged by moving the north interior wall to create 7 ft of distance between all walls(these two rooms now a compliant size). Key concerns I observed include: -although a building permit application has been submitted to create new bedrooms—the permit is not yet approved - and all the new work has been done without required permits -the owner currently has 10-11 occupant—after previously being told 8 is the max in a SFR—unless a Reasonable Accommodation is first gained -the basement is being used for living and sleeping without required approvals -the entrance to the basement is a non-compliant entry w steep stairs leading to a steep ramp-and a lack of some head clearance -the internal connection from the basement to the main floor was also rebuilt in a non-compliant manner and lacking head clearance -old electrical wiring(such as zip-line in the basement crawl) has been left abandoned instead of removed. -other uncovered electrical boxes were present in parts of the basement with exposed wiring Thanks again, Talk tomorrow, Don Don Cunningham 'llid---:4 - -':.,° Code Enforcement I Everett Police Department P:425.257.8564 I C:425.879.0701 13002 Wetmore Ave, Everett, WA 98201 Celebrating 125 years everettwa.gov/police I Facebook I Twitter Note:Emails and attachments sent to and from the City of Everett are public records and may be subject to disclosure pursuant to the Public Records Act.
