Ted de Budden <br /> From: Ted de Budden <br /> Sent: Friday, September 09, 2016 11:19 AM <br /> To: Donald Cunningham <br /> Subject: RE:7124 Olympic <br /> Don, <br /> In addition to my observations made during the inspection conducted with you yesterday. I have reviewed permit,file <br /> records, inspection photos and the attached tax Assessor records for the property located at 7124 Olympic Drive. <br /> Here is a summary of my findings based on research and site observations. <br /> The basement of this house is currently being used for recreation and sleeping purposes. <br /> My records search failed to locate any permits for the basement alterations that have created habitable space.The <br /> alteration and occupied use of this space has no record of approval. <br /> The basement lacks suitable emergency escape and rescue openings as required by code. (IPMC section 702.4) <br /> The ceiling height of the basement was observed to be less than the code required minimum of 7 ft. (IPMC section <br /> 404.3) <br /> I was not able to observe a required smoke alarm in the basement area. (IPMC"section 704.1) <br /> Occupancy of the basement without suitable egress and fire protection is unsafe. <br /> These conditions render the structure unlawful as defined by Code. (IPMC section 108.1.4) <br /> The newly constructed and unpermitted detached accessory structure located in the southwest portion of the property <br /> is larger than the exempted maximum size of 200 square feet. <br /> My calculations indicate that this structure is at least 220 square feet in size. <br /> The structure requires a building permit (IRC section 105.1) or could be reduced in size to comply with the code permit <br /> exemption (IRC section 105.2) <br /> This building is an Unlawful Structure as defined by Code. (IPMC section 108.1.4) <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to provide assistance in this matter. <br /> Regards <br /> Ted de Budden <br /> Chief Inspector <br /> Everett Building Department <br /> 425.257 7271 <br /> From: Donald Cunningham <br /> Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2016 4:29 PM <br /> To: Ted de Budden <br /> Subject: 7124 Olympic <br /> Ted- <br /> I have attached my inspection photos,and Snohomish County Old Assessor and Structure Detail. It looks like County <br /> does not have record of a finished basement. �} <br /> f! 1/ <br />
