RR <br /> From:Tony Lee <br /> Sent: Friday, August 28, 2015 11:25 <br /> To: Debra Bryant; Jim Iles; Dave Davis <br /> Cc: Rick Robinson; Jim Ventura; Ted Budden; Paul McKee; Kevin Fagerstrom;Terri Jorgenson <br /> Subject: FW: Dangerous Structures - 1926 West Casino Road <br /> All—the email below was just sent to Mr. Koh who a member of the LLC that owns the apartment complex at 1926 W. <br /> Casino Road. The stairways were found to be very dangerous. There have already been conversations between Mr. Koh <br /> and myself. We will be monitoring the situation very closely for compliance. <br /> Mr.Chris Koh— <br /> Please accept this synopsis of the conditions that were noted at the property at 1926 West Casino Road based on an <br /> inspection yesterday,August 27, 2015. A more formal and complete list of issues will be forthcoming next week. The <br /> list of issues that need immediate attention include: <br /> 1. Severe rot was found on several of the structural members that support the exterior stairs and upper stair <br /> landings as well as some of the stair stringers. <br /> 2. Severe corrosion was found on the majority of the bolts that connect the stairs to the landings,the stair treads <br /> to the stair stringers and the brackets that connect the stair stringers to the lower landing. <br /> 3. Severe corrosion was found on the metal brackets that connect the stairs to the landings,the stair treads to the <br /> stair stringers and the brackets that connect the stair stringers to the lower landing. <br /> 4. Several stairs had at least one loose stair tread. <br /> 5. Some stairs were found to have no brackets to attach the stringers to the lower landing—creating more load on <br /> the upper attachment brackets. <br /> 6. The structural beam that supports the stairs is made up of two members,a beam and a 2x rim. The outer <br /> member that the supporting stair angles are attached directly to is a 2x rim. In the most severe conditions,the <br /> 2x rim was lower than the adjacent beam. The brackets, however were flush with lower edge of the dropped 2x <br /> rim. Several of the lower bolts within the brackets were partially exposed and did not penetrate the beam <br /> behind the 2x rim,or the bolt was sufficiently at the bottom of the beam as to provide little structural value. <br /> Also—the length of the bolts were noted as only being long enough to protrude marginally into the beam itself, <br /> putting the majority of the load in to the 2x rims. <br /> 7. Several of the bolts attaching the brackets that connect the stair stringers and the upper support were noted to <br /> be installed at an angle and not perpendicular to the bracket. Several of the brackets were found to have gaps <br /> between the bracket and the stair stringers. <br />
