Ted de Budden From: Ted de Budden Sent: Thursday,January 18, 2018 11:33 AM To: Edward Golden Subject: 151.7 Broadway Good morning Eddie, Here is a summary of my research,observations, and determinations made during the inspection conducted with you yesterday of the building located at 1517 Broadway Ave Everett. Research of City of Everett records and documents has failed to discover any permits or approvals for the five separate apartment units that have been created and occupied within this structure. The building was originally constructed and recognized as a single family residence.At some point in the past the structure has been divided and altered to create five separate dwellings.This alteration work was done without record of required permits and approvals.The unpermitted alteration work and use has created an Unlawful Structure as defined by Code. IPMC Section 108.1.4 The absence of required fire resistive separation between units is defined as a Dangerous condition within the IPMC. Section 108.1.5, subsection 10. The basement apartment unit lacks minimum headroom as required by code. IPMC Section 404.3 Functional smoke and carbon monoxide alarms were not present in apartments visited during yesterday's inspection. IPMC section 704.2 A deteriorated exterior stairway serving the structure was observed on the easterly access point to the building. IPMC section 304.10 This summary is not intended to be a complete list of all defects within the building. It is likely that additional violations and deficiencies exist within the structure. I fully support and encourage your enforcement efforts to abate the violations on this property. Thank you for the opportunity to provide assistance in this matter.
