Address: Commonly referred to as 6214 Broadway, Everett, WA 98203-4839 Property is zoned: R-3 Multiple Family Medium Density 4. Violations & EMC Sections Inspection of the property reveals the following conditions and violations: An inspection of the property on December 22, 2019, revealed numerous bags of garbage, and junk, cans, and damaged furniture were piled in the east yard area and visible from the ROW. Dan Good was near the entrance leading into the basement and said he had been waiting to be paid so he could haul the junk and garbage to the dump. Good told me he lives in the lower unit and went into the basement to get his phone. I could see a kitchen area (refrigerator and range) through the open door. A search of City records revealed the basement structure was built in 1964 to support the residence which was moved from another property. The permit history shows no record of any finished space within the basement. Review of the Snohomish County Old Assessor Record "Field Notes" indicated, on 11/26/1988 the inspector wrote, "... talked to owner, BSMT Developed." This comment is likely why the Assessor indicates there is 800 sf of finished space in the basement despite the lack of City permits for the work. A. The unpermitted alterations to the structure without required permits and approvals are violations of International Residential Code (IRC) R105.1, which reads:_ IRC RI05.1 Required.

The unpermitted alterations and creation of a new dwelling unit in the basement render the structure Unlawful as defined by the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) 108.1.4, in violation of IPMC 106.1, which read: IPMC 108.1.4 Unlawful structure.
