Records indicate that the building is approved for single family use only. 2.Apartment#1 is a two story configuration with 4 upstairs bedrooms.Entry to this apartment is located on the front street side of the structure. A stairway serving these bedrooms is exceptionally steep and has low headroom. A guard railing was observed to be missing on the open side of this stairway. 3.Required Smoke alarms are missing in the bedrooms. 4.Apartment#2 is a one bedroom unit that appears to be located in what was originally an attached garage. This apartment is a single story unit located at the ground level.The entry is on the front street side of the structure. 5.Apartment#2 does not have a bedroom that meets the minimum size requirement for a sleeping room as required by the IPMC. 6.Apartment#2 has an electrical service panel located above the kitchen cook stove.This location is a violation of the National Electrical code and the IPMC. 7.Smoke alarms are not installed in apartment#2. 8.Apartment#3 a single bedroom unit is located on the second floor of the structure.Entry to this unit is located on the back of the house.An exterior deck and stairway serve this apartment. The stairway was observed to lack a code required hand railing. It was also observed that a stair stringer serving this unit has a structurally weak connection that could fail under load where it joins the frame of the deck structure. 9.A smoke alarm is not provided in the sleeping room for this unit. 10.A laundry room provided for the tenants of the building is located on the rear portion of the structure.This laundry room lacks fire resistive separation from the rest of the building as required by code.The laundry is awkwardly arraigned because the appliances are installed in a tandem fashion making using them difficult.Time dated wires were observed in this laundry room with the date of February 2002. The alterations to this structure have been made without required permits and approvals.The creation of the three separate apartments has occurred without required approvals. Numerous violations of adopted codes were observed during our visit. This structure is an Unlawful Structure as defined by code. I support and encourage enforcement action to abate these violations and pursue compliance. Thank you for the opportunity to provide assistance in this matter.
