Good morning —
RE: 2444 Ranch Drive permit number 02-00561-01
The permit for 2444 Ranch Dr had electrical, mechanical and plumbing work involved as well as
structural. When I looked into the permit and why it wasn't finaled I found that the electrical work had
been inspected and finaled, the mechanical work (vents, ducts etc.) had been inspected and finaled
and the plumbing work had all been done and finaled as well. All of these inspections would have
been required to give a "building final" and the fact that the permit languished and was never closed
out does not mean the project was not complete. I find that enough inspections, appropriate
inspections, were completed and indicate to me the project was in fact complete and the absence of a
"final" sign off by one of the inspectors is either an over -sight or the result of a contractodhome owner
believing they didn't need to call for a final inspection.
Since the permit resides in a'computer system no longer used, actually a couple of software systems
ago, I will not attempt to alter the existing result of "expired". I will however say that the City of
Springfield is not interested in pursuing the matter because in my estimation and authority as Building
Official the permit had all required inspections completed for electrical, mechanical and plumbing and
appropriate structural inspections to be considered complete. I will be placing a copy of this email in
the permanent address file for future reference.
I hope this helps with your endeavor and please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
Sincerely,
David Bowlsby

Hi David, : 3
Thank you for your correspondence with my assistant Hillary yesterday regarding 2444 Ranch Dr. I was hoping
you could email me back with an explanation of what happened with these permits & how because your system
has been updated, the process can not be completed. If I could have this as soon as you can this morning I
would greatly appreciate it. We are looking for something we can pass along to the appraiser on this file to see
if we can get this removed as a "subject to" on the appraisal.
Thanks,
Lynne
