Please also refer <br />to the plans is5ued for permit for additional requirements. <br />The electrical system is currently unsafe. The system as a whole has been modified in <br />the majority of areas without benefit of permit or inspection. From the deficiencies <br />observed from the exposed wiring alone, the electrical system is unsafe per IPMC <br />Sedion 108.1.2. <br />2. The plumbing system was generally noted to be in salisfaclory condition - with <br />exrnptions. The system has been modified in several areas without the benefit of <br />permil or inspection. There are several places where vents will need to be added to <br />allow lhe syslem lo work properly. Of particular notc is the need to have the plumbiny <br />in the lowest bathroom revised. Incorrect fitiings are used at the fixtures that may <br />prohibit thc system from working properly. <br />3. The decks appear to be in a saticfactory condition overall, however further altention and <br />maintenance will be required over thc next several years. Specific attention should be <br />addressed immcdialcly to thc following: <br />a. The guards need to be strengthened so that they do not deFlect under required <br />forces. <br />b. A few pickets are missing that need to be replaced. <br />c. Additional lag bolts need to be ins[alled to properly secure thc deck lo lhe <br />structure. <br />d.
