RE: Raze Notice and Citations issued for 944 Dove St.
Dear Mr. Anderson,
The building permit obtained for remodeling your home expired on October 23,.1999. Our office has
not received a written or verbal request for an extension to your permit. The extension would have been
required to be submitted 90 days prior to the expiration of the building permit. We have also received a
neighborhood complaint stating you have been occupying this residence without occupancy approval. It
should be noted that this property is still posted "Unfit for Human Habitation" and occupancy is not
allowed. .
Numerous violations still exist and complaints have heen received due to the exterior of the property.
The outstanding orders include:
1. The front porch roof must be repaired. The rearroofhas been does not
meet mininium code requirements. The roof pitch is less than 4/12 and requires
rolled roofing or a robber roof. ORIGINAL ORDER ISSUED 10/20/98
2. The water heater must be approved for confIned spaces and the appropriate
combustion air is required. ORIGINAL ORDER ISSUED 10/20/98
3. Heat distribution systems shall be sized and lo<;:ated to satisfy the heating and cooling
loads of each conditioned space. ORIGINAL. ORDER ISSUED 1/12/99

heat the whole house. ORIGINAL ORDER ~SSUED 1/12/99

distributed at the low sides ofthe roof. ORIG~NAL ORDER ISSUED 1/12/99
6. The crawlspace is required to be vented properly. Treated plywood must be a
minimum of8" from grade: ORIGINAL ORDER ISSUED 3/18/99
Additional violations may be noted once the final inspection is requested and conducted. At this
time citations are enclosed for failing to request thetinal inspection and gain compliance prior to
occupying the residence.
A Raze or Repair Notice will follow this letter. A written statement will be required stating whether
.,.
you plan on razing or repairing the structure. If you wish to have us consider allowing you to
continue repairing this structure an inspection will be required to determine what additional
violations exist. In addition to the inspection we will need a qetailed list of items that need to be
finished and time frames for repairing the violations. Once our office receives this information we
can make a determination as to whether to extend your building permit. Compliance would need to
be secured in timely maimer due to the original orders being issued on October 28, 1998. Please note
continued occupancy of this structure violates section 7-31 and 7-32 of the Municipal Code and will
constitute daily citations.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me at 236-5036..
