Steve was the inspector that <br /> came out to our rental house located at 2523 Chestnut St,in Everett, WA 98201 on Thursday, May 16th in the am. A new <br /> panel was installed and the meter box on the exterior was to be inspected as well as the grounding rods. At this point, he <br /> told our electrician that his work passed the inspection but proceeded to tell him the rest of our house was not to code and <br /> he refused to sign off on the permit. There was no permission given to him by us or the electrician to be going through our <br /> house or bedrooms. This is a violation of our privacy. The electrician tried to keep him focused on the scope of work but <br /> Steve refused and continued to be the building police. Examples: Stairs to the loft area are not legal, the height of the <br /> doorway in bedrooms are not to code, the upstairs area is not legal, etc. It got to the point where our electrician felt very <br /> uncomfortable with Steve's demeanor and asked him to call us to explain what his issues outside the scope of work were. <br /> Steve's response was they can call me. No business card was left nor were we sent the inspection report. In a phone <br /> conversation that I (Michelle Booth) had with him around 3:00pm this afternoon, I felt that he was talking down to me, was <br /> extremely rude, abrasive and unprofessional. When asked why he wasn't signing off on the"scope of work" he stated that <br /> the whole house needed to be brought up to code. This house was purchased in 2005 as is per Form 17. It has been a <br /> rental property since Spring of 2008. Since owning this house, we have not done any plumbing or electrical work. If you <br /> would like to speak with our electrician his name is Tim Ghezzi 425257 8810. <br /> This is hindering the closing of our rental house as we are supposed to be signing papers on Thursday, May 24th. The <br /> permit needs to be signed off on no later than Monday, May 20th so we can proceed forward with the closing on our <br /> house. We look forward to an immediate response to this issue. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Chris and Michelle Booth <br /> 206 412 3439 <br /> 1 <br />
