Drywall and insulation are not exempt underthe building code from permits. These can have specific <br />performance requirements under the code, including fire safety for the drywall. Technically windows <br />and doors also require permits asthey are similarly not exempt, but we optto not require permits for <br />this work. Note that windows and doors can also have performance and safety issues that the owner is <br />responsible to determine and implement. <br />Drew Martin, P.E., S.E. <br />Associate Engineer —Commercial Plans Examiner I Permit Services <br />425.257.8810 1 3200 Cedar Street, 2otl Floor, Everett, WA 98201 <br />Phone Hours: M/W/T: 8 am - 12 pm & 1 pm —3 pm; Tu: 1:00pm-3:00pm <br />everettwa.gov/permits I Facebook I Twitter <br />Note: Emails and attachments sent to and from the City of Everett are public records and maybe subject to disclosure pursuant <br />to the Public Records Act. <br />From: SCOTT SELFRIDGE <scott selfridge(Elmsn.com> <br />Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2022 8:53 PM <br />To: Cindy Bergsma <CBergsma(nleverettwa.gov>; Drew Martin <dmartin(nleverettwa.gov> <br />Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: W2206-012 344 VIEW RIDGE DR <br />CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

Do I <br />write it in under "other"? <br />Also, I want to be clear that the garage is not heated. There's no heater. The <br />insulation got replaced since the old stuff was in poor condition. The drywall was <br />also replaced in areas where we called in for the electrical inspection along with <br />other drywall that was in need of repair. It is my understanding that repair and <br />replacement of surface finishes and insulation do not require a building permit. <br />Otherwise, every time someone does an electrical repair, there would be a <br />building permit requirement in addition to the electrical permit requirement. <br />Which requirement are you referencing that says I need a building permit for <br />replacing the finishes or insulation? Regarding the garage door, the old one was <br />damaged, so we removed it and put a new one in. There's no structural change or <br />furring. Are homeowners usually required to get a building permit to replace a <br />damaged door? I'd like to get my electrical inspection moving along, so please let <br />me know how I can do that. None of the other repairs seem to require a building <br />
