Mr. Doug Steiner 2707 Victor Place, LLC Plan Check Number: B2310-022, First Building Review January 5, 2024 General The project should specify the applicable building codes, including but not limited to the 2018 IRC, 2018 WSEC, and the 2018 IBC. See Section R106.1.1 and EMC Section 16.005.030. 2. The proposed scope -of -work is not clear. The drawings should clearly delineate between existing and new work using established drafting standards. Construction that is not original or performed under a previously issued and finaled building permit does not qualify as existing and must be shown as new work. All demolition should be shown on the existing floor plans. All new construction should be shown on the new floor plan. Where the proposed project includes modifications existing building components (e.g., gypsum wall board, insulation, etc.), these components should be similarly delineated from existing component that are not being altered. See Section R106.1.1. 3. The project includes replacement of plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems throughout. Separate permits will be required for this work. In addition, the work must be exposed to perform inspections. The drawings should include a note stating that the removal of finishes (e.g., wallboard, fixed cabinetry, etc.) will be required as directed by the inspectors during construction to perform inspections. See Section R109.1.2. Architectural 1. The 6'-2" ceiling height in the Bonus Rooms at the Upper Floor Plan on Sheet 2 is not sufficient to qualify as habitable spaces. Each room should include the following now: "STORAGE SPACE ONLY. NOT FOR USE AS HABITABLE SPACE OR SLEEPING ROOM." See Section R305.1. 2. Smoke and CO alarms are provided per IRC Sections R314 and R315. A note should be included requiring the alarms to be hardwired, interconnected, and provided with back-up battery power as required. Alarm clearances should comply with Section R314.3 Item 4 and Section R314.3.1. 3. Plumbing, mechanical, and electrical work has been performed throughout the house as documented in Code Enforcement Case No. CE23-0702. The project is presumed to have required removal of exterior wall and ceiling/roof finishes (e.g., drywall, etc.) to perform this work. Exposed exterior envelop cavities are required to be insulated per the requirements of WSEC Section 503.1.1. While minor openings may not be deemed sufficient to invoke this code requirement, significant openings will require insulation to be provided. The drawings should accurately indicate the extent of finishes removed and replaced, and specify insulation accordingly. Note that discovery during inspections of removed finish areas exceeding those indicated in the approved drawings may require revised construction drawings to be submitted for review and approval, and consequently result in a stop -work order for the project. See Sections R106.4, R109.4, R113.2, and R114.1. 4. The project includes new windows and glazed doors. Safety glazing should be specified in the drawings where required.
