3 <br /> windows. Sleeping rooms on the 2"d and 1St stories all appear to have complying egress <br /> windows or doors except: <br /> a. The area between sleeping room 1-13 and Bathroom 1-c is being used as an additional, <br /> 6t"sleeping room on the main floor. This room has no emergency escape and should <br /> not be used as a sleeping room. <br /> 3. Smoke detectors were missing in several of the sleeping rooms. Smoke detectors are required <br /> in each sleeping room as well as within the room giving access to the sleeping room. <br /> Third Floor(attic) <br /> 1. There are no records that the attic has traditionally been a habitable space or has received <br /> permits and approvals to be habitable space. Even if the space had been traditionally used,the <br /> majority of the attic appears to have been recently heavily-modified without required permits: <br /> a. Snohomish County Assessor records indicate that the structure is currently a two-story <br /> structure with no mention of a finished attic or 3`d story. <br /> b. A 1973 construction permit applied for by the owner, Lawrence Nalback indicates a 2- <br /> story,6-unit apartment building. <br /> c. In 1973 a memo from the housing inspector to the mayor indicated that the owner was <br /> going to provide a second exit from the 2'd floor for fire safety. If there were 3 floors of <br /> habitable space,the stairway would have also been required to the 3`d story. <br /> d. A 1985 housing inspection noted an upper level and a lower level that were being used <br /> by a tenant. This comment appears to be describing the 1St and 2nd story since they are <br /> the main habitable levels of the house. The 'upper' level would therefore be the top <br /> level of the dwelling and the attic would be above the upper level. <br /> e. In - 1989 a permit to rebuild the porches was secured. The structure was IistE!d as a 2- <br /> story building. <br /> f. The majority of the finish material on the attic walls and ceilings is gypsum wall board <br /> (GWB) (modern construction). <br /> g. The attic has a kitchen that is comprised of modern floor and wall covering, appliances, <br /> cabinets, countertops, plumbing and electrical services and fixtures and is not original to <br /> the structure. <br /> h. There are craft-faced fiberglass insulation batts(modern construction)visible within <br /> attic rafter spaces. <br /> L The secondary wall material in the attic sleeping rooms is ship-lap boards, not lath and <br /> plaster as would be expected for this structure as a finish material at the time of the <br /> home's construction. <br /> j. A wall has been (re)moved to widen the stairs to the attic—the stairs at the top run <br /> have been widened with Oriented Strand Board treads(modern construction►. <br /> k. The structure supporting the roof within the attic has been modified. The teriants (W.B. <br /> Housing Assoc.) informed us the work was done under permit by the owner right before <br /> they moved in (no permits for this work is on file). The work has been covered with <br />
