Ted Budden <br /> From: Ted Budden <br /> Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2016 3:47 PM <br /> To: Kevin Fagerstrom <br /> Cc: Anne Weech <br /> Subject: 1025 52nd Street (Electrical Concerns) <br /> Kevin, <br /> An inspection was conducted this afternoon at 1025 52"d Street as requested by the Violations Hearing Examiner. <br /> The purpose of this inspection was to assess the electrical and safety concerns that have been identified during the Code <br /> Enforcement and Building Department actions and investigations of this property. <br /> Here is a summary of our findings after conducting this inspection. <br /> No functional smoke alarms were provided for the rear north apartment unit. <br /> Outlet and switch cover plates were missing throughout the north apartment. <br /> An electrical hot water heater installed in the north located apartment has exposed non- metallic"Romex" wiring and <br /> has an exposed electrical connection that requires protection. <br /> The electrical outlets and circuits throughout the north apartment are not grounded. <br /> The detective and exposed electrical wiring installed within the detached accessory structure that was observed and <br /> identified during an earlier inspection has been removed by the owner. <br /> The inspection this afternoon revealed electrical deficiencies and concerns that require correction. <br /> It has been determined that a Washington State electrical contractor be hired by the owner to survey and repair any and <br /> all electrical deficiencies within the building.This repair work will require a separate electrical permit. <br /> The owner Mr. Kalyan stated that he would immediately purchase and personally install today, smoke alarms and <br /> electrical covers where required and missing. <br /> Based on this inspection it is my position that if the smoke alarms and cover plates are immediately installed where <br /> necessary and that the owner obtain the services of an electrical contractor to conduct the survey and complete all <br /> repair within 30 days,the occupants can continue to reside within the building. <br /> Please Advise the Violations Hearings Examiner as requested <br /> Sincerely <br /> Ted Budden <br /> Chief Inspector <br /> Everett Building Department <br /> 425.257 7271 <br /> 1 <br />
