Currently, as you are aware,the electrical hazards have been corrected and permits have been finaled.The home's circuitry have been verified and meets code. Since that was completed, I put together a general scope of work to include some necessary work items, some of which address other code related issues. To note,the attic space was converted soon after the house was built in 1970.This is proven likely by the bathroom plumbing, with its apparent age and the plumbing materials that were used. Also, not long after the attic conversion,the under-house carport was enclosed as a garage.Again,this is proven try by the apparent age of the materials used in construction. I have a couple of questions: • The existing garage has 5/8" sheetrock throughout, which would have met code at the time of installation.To address the unpermitted garage conversion we are planning on fire taping the garage completely and installing a fire rated entry door between the basement and the garage spaces.Will this work satisfy the code violation? If not,what else will be required. • The unpermitted attic spaces, including the bathroom,were created in the early 70's and fully finished, including electrical, insulation, sheetrock,and heating.To address the code issues we have completed the electrical system verification and corrected all electrical hazards and circuit issues. In the attic bathroom,we are proposing to relocate the toilet to provide adequate front clearance per code,verify the existing plumbing meets code and is vented properly, and also install adequate exhaust ventilation. Beyond these items, are there any other items that you think would be necessary to satisfy the code violation? Understandably,the attic spaces would not be habitable as bedrooms due to the lack of adequate egress. 3 ( Lj
