Tliese are: <br />The fasteners used to attach the hardiplank siding appear not to he approved <br />by the International Building Code. <br />2. The Harristone masonry apron has been installed without weep screeds or <br />flashing per manufacturer's specifications. <br />3. The tension rods in the structure's bracing system have not been installed <br />according to the engineer's detail. The resulting added eccentricity may <br />result in unacceptable stresses within the connect -on. <br />4. There appear to be structural issues with the exterior wall stud framing and <br />how this framing is connected to the steel framework. <br />Items 1 & 2 are not typically inspected by this department. Inspections regarding Items <br />3 & 4 are perforated both by special inspection agency and City of Everett staff. <br />Therefore, it is our request that Items 3 & 4 be investigated. Item 3 should be <br />addressed by the steel building engineer of record. Item 4 should be addressed by an <br />Engineer licensed in the State of Washington and the steel building Engineer Of <br />Record. <br />if you have any questions please call me at 425-257-7264. <br />Sincerely. <br />Y~ � <br />Steve Miller <br />Associate F ngineer <br />CITY OF EVERETT • 3200 Cedar Street • Everett.
