• • Ted de Budden From: Katie Rathbun . Sent: Wednesday,August 7, 2019 11:42 AM To: Eileen Hinkley;Ted de Budden; Brett Yeadon Cc: Leslie Tidball; Flora Diaz Subject: 844 Olympic Blvd. All, I spoke with Eileen about the ongoing construction activity at 844 Olympic Blvd. I also spoke with the prosecutor's office about an option of addressing this illegal activity given that the owner has a history of flipping homes in Everett without necessary building permits. Here is our idea if everyone is on-board: Every violation of the Building Code is a criminal misdemeanor. Therefore, it is appropriate to apply for(and execute if application is granted) a criminal search warrant to search for evidence of unlawful construction work based on Ted's posting the property with a stop work order yesterday and Eileen and Brett's observance today of construction sounds emanating from the house today. The steps would include: 1. Brett, if willing would draft the search warrant application based on his observances today. 2. Meanwhile, I will gather the legal authority establishing building code violations as criminal misdemeanors and work following a posted stop work order as a building code violation. 3. Ted and Eileen can do short declarations. Ted's establishing when he observed work without permits and thereafter his posting of the property with stop work order based on the work without permits. Eileen can do a declaration describing her observation of the stop work order today concurrent with the construction noise coming from inside the structure. 4. Once the application, declarations,and supporting law are written/compiled, prosecutor's office will review the application and possible assist in presenting it to the judge (in case there are questions about the law as . it pertains to the building code). If this works for everyone we can get started. Assuming we are moving forward (and we can change course if this is not the case)-Ted and Eileen can you write me a paragraph or two about your involvement/observations(include dates)? I can format your statements into declarations. Also,Ted, can you send me a PDR of the current section 115 of the IBC? Brett—Thoughts/questions/concerns? Thanks everyone. Katie Rathbun L.
