Dear Mr Schroeder: F Il E COP Y
On October 9, 1995 the citations issued to you for failure to make repairs on your rental
property were dismissed without prejudice in court with the understanding that all remaining
violations would be corrected within two weeks.
A permit and plumber will be required to replace the kitchen sink in Unit B. The laundry
equipment shall be removed from the boiler room. Additional electrical receptacles shall be
installed in the kitchen of Unit C as we discussed. October 23,1995 is the Final due date for
all violations noted June 23, 1995. An inspection will be required at this time.
During our conversation we discussed the installation of the panel doors on the living units. I
spoke to the Chief Building Inspector and he indicates the panel doors will not be acceptable.
Solid core doors with at least a 20 minute fire rating and self closing are required.
We also spoke of the concrete step East of the building. You had indicated to me that Mary
Remillard had told you these steps may be grandfathered along with the Isolation of Hazard
violation in the boiler room. The steps according the Chief Building Inspector are not
acceptable and will have to be replaced with a 3' x 3' platform and Code compliant step. As to
the Isolation of Hazards violation, it is currently being researched with data supplied by Mary
Remillard. My orders were issued using the Existing Building Code of 1914 which would apply
to all buildings built on or before that date. This is standard practice when the date of
construction and use of a building is unknown. However, Mary Remillard has now supplied us
with a date of the early 1940's. The Code at this time may be stricter than the 1914 Code and will
have to be met. Failure to bring the building into compliance with State & Local Codes will
result in the posting of the building as "Unfit for Human Habitation, Occupancy or Use." All
uncorrected violations on October 23,1995, except for the Isolation of Hazards, will be cited
and court action pursued. There will be no further dismissal of citations.
Sincerely,
Bruce Luedtke
