| 04/01/2014 | INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT | COX | Approved | I inspected today and inspector Vindiola accompanied me. We found multiple violations. No active central heating in the structure. There are numerous places where the exterior plaster/stucco is cracked and or missing. There was a closet was added to one of the bedrooms without a building permit and not constructed in a code compliant manner. The closet has electrical as well as an unsecured opening to the exterior where a rodent is accessing the residence on a regular basis. There is a bathroom with no ventilation fan or exterior window. The exterior walls where the closet has been added are unfinished oriented strand board which is now been compromised due to weather exposure. I spoke with the property owner at the inspection and explained the violations and that I would be sending an NOV through the mail. |
