! Ted Budden From: Ted Budden Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2015 10:59 AM To: Cynthia Keirsey Subject: 1822 Summit Ave �� Cindy, Here is a summary I have prepared based on my research and observations made during the inspection conducted with you yesterday afternoon at 1822 Summit Ave. A search and review of permits, tax records, and other related documents indicate that the detached accessory structure located at this address has been altered without required permits and approvals for use as a dwelling unit. The current owner Mr. Stephen Berry has acknowledged that he was responsible for the alterations to the structure. The following list of observed code violations are related to the life safety of the occupants. 1. A smoke alarm was not provided in the sleeping room as required by section 704.2 of the IPMC. 2. A carbon monoxide detector was not installed in the dwelling. 3. The window located in the sleeping room of the unit does not meet the current code requirements for a sleeping room. See section 702.4 of the IPMC. 4. Some Electrical Equipment observed within the dwelling does not meet the minimum code standards for installation. (Electrical panel location, use of extension cords for permanent wiring etc.) See Section 605.1 IPMC The Building is an Unlawful Structure as defined by section 108.1.5 of the IPMC. The owner has decided to abate the code violations by obtaining a permit to remove the violating elements and returning the structure to approved use as an unoccupied accessory structure. (Storage Building) We have issued a permit to allow the owner to conduct the work to pursue compliance. (Permit # CW1506-003) A separate electrical permit will be required along with any necessary alterations to return the electrical system to an approved state. Thank you for the opportunity to provide assistance in this matter Ted Budden Chief Inspector Everett Building Division
