• 3) If the windows located in the two basement bedrooms were merely replaced and assuming that they are in the original openings and are now safer than before; is any remedial work necessary as to these basement windows? 4) If the stairwell between the first floor and the basement is still located in its original location,having only undergone minor cosmetic and safety alterations at most,is it exempt from the standards set for new construction per R4504.7 through R4504.7.6? Upon your receipt and review of this letter, please advise if your office will review the matter and provide answers to the above questions. While a pre-application meeting may be a more typical first step in this process, it is my understanding that the applicant is required to produce a plan set. As explained herein, the remedial work plans will be drastically different depending on the applicability of the 2021 Residential Code and the City's interpretation of the relevant Code provisions. Accordingly, it is impractical, prohibitively expensive, and likely an unnecessary use of City resources for my clients to prepare and present multiple plan sets to address the myriad of possible interpretations of the Code as it applies to the work completed by the previous owner and to the work contemplated by my clients. My clients Arturo Juarez and Elvia Nicasio and I thank you for your time and consideration of this important matter and time sensitive matter.
