• • Terri Jorgenson From: Donald Cunningham Sent: Monday,January 13, 2020 8:39 AM To: Ted de Budden;Terri Jorgenson Subject: 5403 Colby Ted— Our unit received a complaint that work was being done in the basement unit of this property without permits. I contacted the owner, Burch Cambers, and his building on Friday afternoon.Cambers states he has owned the property for decades and it has had a basement unit since he bought it. He said he was recently removing wall covering with the goal of improving insulation and they were replacing the portion of the wall and floor where the main entry door was. I observed most of the interior was gutted with framing, electrical and plumbing exposed.They had setup a brace intending to correct a sag in the floor above (the upper unit is occupied).The wall height from the uncovered floor to the bottom of the floor joist above appeared to be a little less than 7 feet. I let the owner know I intended to issue a VC and asked him to cease any further work until he has gained permits. I also told him—I did not currently know if the dwelling unit had ever been created with permits or approved—and that may affect his ability to get permit.Snohomish County Assessor describes it as a 1 story dwelling with a basement—built in 1946. I will do some more research this morning. I will print the photos and let you know when they are attached to Trakit.
