| 08/16/2005 | INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT | Approved | IN ROUTE TO INSPECTION I TRIED TO MAKE CONTACTWITH BOTH TENANT AND OWNER, RECEIVED VOICEMAIL FOR BOTH CALLS, LEFT MESSAGES FOR TENANT TRUDY WELLS, AND FOR OWNER MR. WATERSON EXPLAINING THAT THE CALL WAS CONCERNING THE BALCONY AND STAIRWAY AT THE PROPERTY OWNED BY MR WATERSON, ASKED THAT THEY PLEASE CONTACT, LEFT CONTACT NUMBERS. VISITED SITE, TOOK PICTURES, KNOCKED ON DOOR OF UNIT B, RECEIVED NO ANSWER. WHILE ON SITE I INSPECTED THE STAIRWELL AND BALCONY FOUND NEW STEPS HAD BEEN PUT ONTO THE STAIRWAY AS WELL AS NEW RISERS. STAIRS CONSISTED OF (2) 2 X 6 SCREWED TO 2 X6 BLOCKS BOLTED OR LAGGED WITH (3) 3" LAGS, BLOCKS WERE INSTALLED ON EITHER END, NEW RISERS WERE NAILED TO THE 2 X 6 BLOCKS. PARTS OF HAND RAILING HAD ALSO BEEN REPLACED. CHECKED LANDING, 4 OUTSIDE PERIMETER PCS CONSISTED OF 2 X 10 RAFTERS OR FLOOR JOISTS, INTERIOR JOISTS WERE 2 X 4.PLYWOOD ON LANDING APPEARED TO BE 1/2". STAIRS STRINGERS AND 4 X 4 SUPPORTS SAT DIRECTLY ONTO OR INTO CONCRETE FLOOR. MY OPINION, AFTER VIEWING MANY VIOLATIONS WAS THAT THE STAIRS WERE NOT BUILT TO CODE AND PROBABLY NOT PERMITTED. |
