On 10/ 25/2011 in response to tenant concerns we performed an inspection at this address. We observed 12 separate �boarding rooms) that were being used as tenant spaces. Several of these rooms have been created without permits and approvals. Records show the property should be a single family dwelling with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. Some of these rooms lack the minimum size requirements as stated in the IPMC section (404.4) and R304.2. 2. The building lacks a common room (120 Sq Ft) as required by the IRC section (R304.1�. 3. Smoke alarms where they were present were not operational. IPMC section (704.2) and IRC section (R3143) 4. Plumbing leaks including wastewater were observed in the structure. IPMC section (50�..1-504.3) 5. Some tenant rooms lack required egress openings. (702.4) and IRC section (R310.1) 6. Kitchens have been added without required permits and approvals and at least one bathroom. IPMC section (108.1.5) and IRC section (R105.1.) 7. 7he building electrical system has been altered without permit. We observed open connections and exposed wires that were not installed correctly. Time dated wiring confirms this. (IPMC and NEC violations.) 8. We posted the property as an U»lawful Structure on 10/26/2011. 9. The owner applied for and obtained permits to make corre�tions and tu pursue compliance. These permits were issued February 2nd 2012. To date no inspections have been requested nor performed under these permits. 10. I have observed individuals currently coming and going, apparently living at the property. I have also observed individuals using the garage in a manner consistent with living there. In dosing the property is currently in violation of several codes and has been posted Unlawful. The property owner has failed tc respond to the life safery concems in a timely manner. There(ore the property should be considered Dangerous to occupy and condemned accordingly. Regards. Ted Hudden
