• • W o0/'7dia" Terri Jorgenson From: Ted de Budden Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2020 11:28 AM To: Kelsey Albertson Subject: RE: CE20-0157 Hi Kelsey, I have examined your email photo attachments as requested for the work being conducted at 1924 Oakes Ave. Here is a brief summary of my observations. Most of the work appears to be minor and cosmetic in nature, However. The electrical hot water heater shown in your photos has non code compliant wiring.The wire serving the tank is enclosed in plumbing piping that is not allowed nor properly secured at the tank. As you also noted the hot water tank is not strapped to the structure. Other photos show electrical features that do not appear code compliant.The outlets shown in your photos of the kitchen do not have GFCI protection. In summary, I recommend to you that the owner be required to obtain an electrical repair permit to correct the observed deficiencies and a mechanical permit to correct the improperly installed hot water heater.

I can't attach all the pictures because there's to many but they are all attached to trakit.The owner is renovating one of the units on the property due to a long time tenant moving out. He is redoing the floors, painting, and replacing an existing toilet. He isn't adding any new plumbing or electrical. He had taken all the fire alarms down to paint so there were no fire alarms up but the owner said he would put them back up today.The owner showed us the shared laundry room and it too had no fire alarm or fire extinguisher.There was an obvious place where they both used to be but neither were present.The hot water heater in the corner of the room was not strapped to the wall.Also there was no fan in the laundry room but there was a large openable window. Let me know what you think,thanks! 1
