• 1 h. Prior to doing the inspection of the reported activity, I conducted a permit records check to determine if any permits have been issued for the 2 construction and electrical work being conducted on the structure. During the site visit to investigate the construction activity I spoke to a couple of 3 individuals working there. One individual stated that the property is owned by his cousin. When I stated to the "owners cousin"that I intended to post a 4 Stop Work Order he indicated that he understood. I asked him if I could post the placard on a sliding glass door located above the new deck being 5 constructed, he said that that was fine. I made it very clear to the workers on 6 site that no work was permitted to continue. I thanked the workmen for their co-operation and asked them to contact the owner to inform him of the Stop 7 Work Order, they said that they would. 8 5. My search revealed that no permits for the construction activity have been issued by the City. This is a violation of International Residential Code ("IRC") Section R105 9 as adopted by the City of Everett pursuant to Everett Municipal Code (the "EMC") 10 16.005.030, which requires persons doing construction work to first obtain necessary building and construction permits. 11 6. Due to the conditions violating the IRC, on August 6 2019, I posted a Stop Work 12 Order pursuant to Section R114 of the International Residential Code as adopted Pursuant to EMC 16.005.030. 13 14 7. Section R114 states, any person who shall continue any work in or about the 15 structure after having been served with a stop work order, except such work as that person is directed to perform to remove a violation or unsafe condition, shall be 16 subject to penalties as prescribed by law." IRC R114.2. 17 8. Since I have posted a Stop Work Order on the front of the house at the property it has been reported to me that construction work continues. 18 19 9. To date, the City has not issued any building, electrical,plumbing, or other necessary permits for the construction work being conducted at the property. 20 21 10. On August 8th 2019 it was brought to my attention that the correct Address for the Property formally referred to as 844 Olympic Ave. is actually and correctly known 22 as 844 Olympic Boulevard. 23 An amended Stop Work Order with the corrected address of 844 Olympic Boulevard 24 was posted on the property at 11:45 A.M. on August 8, 2019. 25 OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY Declaration of Ted de Budden CITY OF EVERETT r)3 2930 Wetmore Avenue,10-C Everett WA 98201 (425)257-7000
