On Tuesday, September 30th an inspection was made in dwelling unit#3 in <br /> response to a complaint. The complaint by the tenant was that the egress window in the <br /> sleeping room and the electrical system in the unit are not up to code. <br /> The list below denotes significant issues that were found to be out of compliance within <br /> the building based on non-destructive investigations. It is important to note however that <br /> not all of the possible deficiencies in the building were or could have been found based <br /> on these limited inspections. For a comprehensive investigation, owners are encouraged <br /> to secure the services of licensed design professionals and contractors. As this is not a <br /> complete list, additional issues may therefore arise during subsequent plan review and <br /> inspection. <br /> Code references include the 2006 Everett Building code (EBC), 2006 Everett Residential <br /> Code (ERC), 2006 Everett Fire Code (EFC), 1997 Everett Housing (EHC), 2006 Everett <br /> Pluming Code (EPC), 2006 Everett Mechanical Code (EMC) and 2005 Everett Electrical <br /> Code (EEC). <br /> FINDINGS <br /> Smoke alarms are required to be provided in each sleeping room as well as each room <br /> leading to a sleeping room. The smoke alarms must be hardwired and provided with a <br /> battery backup. Interconnection is required between smoke alarms such that if one <br /> smoke alarm is activated then all alarms within the unit will activate. EFC Section <br /> 907.3.2 <br /> The electrical system in the dwelling unit includes wiring that was not installed under <br /> permit to include flexible cord used as permanent wiring concealed in walls and ground- <br /> type receptacles used on ungrounded circuits. This is a violation of EHC Section 1001.5, <br /> Hazardous Electrical Wiring. <br /> CIT 3200 3200 Cedar Street • Everett, WA 98201 • (425) 257 2896'• Fax (425) 257-8856 �Z <br /> r0 <br />
