Dear Mr. Hughes :
RE: 15 urút TOIIriIouse
1400 W. 2nd Ave.
en Tuesday, MR'ch 17, 1992, Ikuce Luedtke; City of Oshkosh Housing Inspector,
Peter O:hs; State of Wisconsin Building Inspector and I condJcted an inspec-
tion of this reilding. QJr inspection revealed several property uaintenance
violations mich have been detailed in the enclosed Violation/Correction
Notice. 'lhis inspection also revealed saœ sUuct.ural violations that IRJSt be
ad:'Iressed imœdiatel y . 'DIey are as follows:
1. 'DIe stIuctural su¡;:ports to all the precast concrete carports have deterio-
rated and are questiooable as to their stIuctural integrity.
2. en the west end of the reilding the metal support for the precast deck
panels is being supported on the gas lines. This shall be repaired imœ-
diately as this is a severe fire hazard.
3. Saœ of the cantelevered floors a¡;:çear to be out of level, possibly indi-
cating a weakening of the floor system that is supporting the cantelever.
'DIese issueslRJSt be ad:'Iressed by a stI:uctural engineer for safety and repair.
I IRJSt also point out that this reilding was not OOilt in accordance with the
State ~ved Plans on file in this office. 'DIe State ~ Plans did not
call for any precast concrete to be used for the carports and did not show the
3 foot 9 inch cantelever floor systems.
Because of the fire hazard posed by the metal support bearing on the gas
lines, a reinspection will be condJcted on MR'ch 27, 1992 to verify correction
of this violation, if the violation is not corrected at this time the entire
OOilding will be posted "lhfit for Hunan Habitation." This violation shall be
corrected imœdiately. As for the structural problems, a report fran a Wis-
consin registered engineer shall be subnitted to this office by April 20,
1992. This report shall state the inmediate condition of the precast con=ete
and 1obether said condition poses a life safety threat. A registered engineer
shall also subni t plans and calculations for review and awroval on how to
correct all stIuctural violations on this site.
Please contact me regarding any questions you uay have about these violations
at 236-5050. I would also like you to subni t a scheà.ù.e of cœpletion of the
violations that exist.
Sincerely,
