I spoke with Terri Jorgenson from the Building Department yesterday. She received the request for details from an architect firm and will respond. I think one issue the architect will need to know— is the basement and attic levels (to the best of my research) have never been approved for use as habitable space. Also the installation of a kitchen in the basement was never approved. So the necessary abatement is not a "Remodel project" but gaining permits to restore the structure to a lawful status. That can mean —gaining permits to "remove unpermitted alterations." Through the permit process — it will be worked out how much must be removed from the basement and attic levels. I have copied Terri on this email as she will be the primary point of contact for your contractors and she will eventually issue the necessary permits. Regarding the code hearing — it is a hearing where the City and you the Respondent can offer information about the condition of the property. The previous HEO required the previous owner to keep the structure vacant and secure and to take steps to make the structure lawful within a period of time. The new hearing should produce a similar Order for you — as the current owner. As I said before, I believe you were not told about the existing violations — so I will agree to suspended any fine so long as you comply with the HEO. I am in the office today— if you wish to discuss details further.

He also reached out to city of Everett to get more details on exactly what we need to do and we are awaiting that response. Thanks for all the information. I am coordinating with my realtors, architect, and lawyer about all of this and when one of us can show you inside the property. Also, what is the 10/22 hearing for exactly? Is it to formally tell me the violations against the property? Regards,
