Ted Budden From: Ted Budden Sent: Monday, January 13, 2014 3:58 PM To: Cynthia Keirsey Subject: 317 Tamarack Ave Cindy, On 1/07/2014 I received a complaint about a garage that has been"converted to living space without permits"at 317 Tamarack Ave. On 1/09/2014 I visited the site to determine the veracity of the complaint. No one answered the door upon this initial visit, I was however able to make observations of the exterior of the "converted"garage from the common entrance area that indicated evidence consistent with the alleged conversion. I left an inspection report requesting the owner contact me concerning the suspected violations. Today, 1/13/2014 I visited the site at the request of the owner Mr.Jim Wheeler(425) 359- 1952 to further investigate the suspected code violations. Mr.Wheeler was very co-operative. He allowed interior access of the suspect area to view and photograph the building. Here are my findings. 1.The prior garage has been converted for use as dwelling space.This area includes a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room. 2. My research of the records for this property failed to locate any permits for the alterations from garage to living space. 3.This building is an Unlawful Structure as defined by IPMC section 108.1.4 for the alterations and occupancy of the building without approvals and contrary to law. I informed Mr. Wheeler of my findings in person and I left an inspection report with him declaring the violation and Unlawful Status. The building is currently vacant and should remain so until approved for occupancy by this office. Please initiate enforcement action as your schedule allows. Please let me know how I can be of assistance. Thank you. Ted Budden (1.41
