9 To File ..., FROM Marian Payne, Housing Inspector A,/ DATE September 28, 1987 SUBJECT 1807 - 22nd Street Page 5 of 6 CITY OF EVER ETT EVERETT WASHINGTON Deficiencies noted pursuant to the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Danaerous Buildings, Sec. 302: 1. The structure is manifestly unsafe for the purpose for which it is being used. 2. The structure, in its deteriorated condition, has became an attract!.ve nuisance to children and a harbor for vagrants. 3. The structure is maintained in violation of Ordinance No. 1247-86 of the City of Everett relating to the conditions of structures. 4. The structure is in such a condition as to constitute a public nuiiance known to the common law in equity jurisprudence. After our return to the office, I recommend that the structures be posted "Unlawful to Occupy." Mr. Callahan agreed. I prepared the Notices and had Mr. Callahan sign them. I then proceeded to the buildings to post them. The first one posted was 1809 - 22nd Street. I then proceeded to 1807 - 22nd Street but decided to inform the people inside " of my intentions. I went to the back door which was opened and I knocked. I could hear people talking inside but no one came to the door. While standing there, I looked at the interior of the kitchen and a portion of the living room. It had furniture and applicances all set up for housekeeping. I knocked on the door again and two minor children, approximately 16 years old, came to the door. I identified myself and stated that I was going to post the house "Unlawful to Occupy." One of the minors went yelling to someone else in the house that it was unlawful to occupy the house. The minor was very upset and the other seemed quite disturbed. I proceeded to staple a Notice to the frame of the back door while all the confusion was going on inside. As I got out to the front of the house to post the front door, the individual I talked with earlier in the day, during Mr. Callahan's and my inspection, came out of the back door and caught up with me. He said they ware not occupying the house, they were there to work on it. He said they hao the owner's, Tom McKee, permission to be there and work on the structure. I detected a strong odor of alcohol on the man's breath, so I didn't want to talk much more with him. I told that Mr. McKee could talk with the Building Official, Larry Callahan, about the postings on the house.
