+• SUBJECT: Inspection of house located at .�
After a thorough inspection by the Building Inspector, Electrical Inspector,
Plumbing Inspector, and the Fire Chief, the following inf-)rmation is -submitted
submitted Ai
for your consideration with.tespect to the issuance of a building permit for
the remodeling of subject building. Lr
The structural design and physical condition is unfit for use as a place of..
'business where groups of people congregate. The safety and lives of those t
Ai
congregating in subject building would be placed in jeopardy to varyi.ig degrees
+ dependent upon the size "of ,the congregation.l`
-The electrical and plumbing systems, seemed to be of less concern based on the '
statement of the• applicant tothe effect that the building would be completely
'"' _.' rewired and minor changes would be made in the plumbing which would be'installed }. ;
i10 . t. e 1 r
d' ;tb the Code. ,
3 Concern was expressed about the narrow stairway in the center of the building ?
' �• and the use of the,upstairs portion of the house. Changes would be required
T, for :the Fire.Safety Requirements. >
Again ,the, structural ,design and the present rundown condition of the building
is the major concern. Just what it will take to bring this building up -to
t' ti minimum standards is difficult to determine.
4.
Based on what knowledge we have on the structural design and the, rundown a
a.
a.'...' , condition of the building, the committee recommends that the application''for
a building permit; to,•remodel and/or renovate, subject building be, denied. _-. ::•�
