07/08/2021 INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT GOODMAN Approved I VISITED THE SITE, MET WITH THE OCCUPANT WHO WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE CRACKS FOUND IN THE STRUCTURE. THE HOUSE IS VERY OLD BUT WELL BUILT. I FOUND TWO GOOD SIZED CRACKS ON THE FRONT WALL OF THE BUILDING UNDER THE PORCH BUT ARE CRACKS THAT COULD BE EASILY FILLED. OCCUPANT ALLOWED ENTRY AND SHOWED ME CRACKS IN THE FLOORING. SHE STATED THAT THE CARPET HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM THE FLOOR, THE CONCRETE WAS STAINED HOLES FROM THE TACK STRIP FILLED. THE CRACKS WERE HAIR LINE CRACKS NOT EVEN LARGE ENOUGH TO FILL. OCCUPANT SHOWED ME TWO DOORS THAT WERE SAGGING BUT HAD ALREADY BEEN FIXED BY THE OWNER. THE OCCUPANT STATED SHE DID NOT WANT WHAT HAPPENED IN FLORIDA HAPPEN TO HER FAMILY. I DID ASSURE HER THAT CRACKING IN THE FLOOR AND ESPECIALLY THE SIZE OF THE CRACKS WAS FAIRLY NORMAL AND SHE SHOULD BE CONCERNED IF THE CRACKS BECAME LARGER THAN 1/2" WIDE. THE CRACKS INSIDE THE PLASTER WALLS OF THE INTERIOR I EXPLAINED COULD BE CAUSED BY SHIFTING BUT IN THE OLD PLASTER HOUSE WOULD ALSO BE NORMAL, THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF HE BUILDING BEING IN DANGER OF COLLAPSE. I TRIED CONTACTING THE OWNER WHILE ON SITE BUT HAVE TO LEAVE A MESSAGE. INFORMED THE OCCUPANT I WOULD CONTINUE TRYING TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE OWNER TO CAULK THE CRACKS.
07/12/2021 INSP - FOLLOW UP CODE ENFORCE GOODMAN Approved MADE CONTACT WITH THE OWNER AND EXPLAINED THE COMPLAINT. THE OWNER STATED SHE WAS AWARE OF THE COMPLAINT, HAS SPOKEN WITH THE OCCUPANT ABOUT THE CRACKING, OWNER STATED THAT THE OCCUPANT IS AFRAID THAT WHAT HAPPENED IN FLORIDA WOULD HAPPEN TO HER FAMILY. OWNER STATED THAT THEY BEGAN LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT PERSON TO PROPERLY FILL THE CRACKS AND NOT JUST CAULK THEM. THEY DO HAVE A PERSON COMING OUT ON 7/13 TO LOOK AT THE JOB AND ALSO BEEN IN CONTACT WITH A SEND PERSON WHO SPECIALIZES IN PLASTER CRACKS INSIDE THE HOME. HOME OWNER DID AGREE THE HOUSE WAS NOT LIKELY TO FAIL AND THIS IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SITUATION FROM THE FLORIDA CASE. OWNER HOPES TO HAVE CRACKING COMPLETED WITHIN 10 DAYS. WORK IS IN PROGRESS. COMPLIANCE / CLOSE CASE.
