WA. Recent changes in tne rear exitway have seriously compromised the capability of evacuating this building in an emergency. � The Uniform Building Code reauires ri+o legal exits whe� the occupant load is i ten or nore on the secand story of a residential occupancy. Wss oE the rear door and stairway to the graund has resulted in only wie legal exit for the building. The emergency exit as presently constituteA opens onto a €ire escape balcony. The balcony has a vertical ladder which j ends eight to ten feet fr«n the qroim�l. To canplicate matters, when the door is open it effectively closes off access to the ladder. Suh a syste+n is canpletely unacceptable as a required second exit. In � additian, changes made or work done uithout permit and inspection approval is 3 a violation of Doth the Building and Fire Codes, a misdemeanor in both instanoes. Therefore, you are hereby orderecl to do the followin�: � 1) Discontinue renting additional imits if the actual occupant load is more tnan ten. .� Z) Notifv each of the existing tenants of the existing hazarci in writinA i aithin �18 hours. S) Ca►tact the City of Ever�tt Ruilding Official, Tarry Callahan, in �ttin�, within five days of receipt of this letter, of your inta►tion regarding this situation. . _._..,_.. ..._ . ..._..._.___...�...�_ _ _..._.._.....____.._�•--�._._ _...... ...:..�_.,._..._._._.._, ._......�._... ..�..�,�._ .
