CERTIFIED LETTER

Eugene, Oregon 97401
Dear Ms. Davis:
At the request of the tenant, Mr. Dale Sessions, the Springfield Building Division
conducted a courtesy inspection at 302 West Centennial Blvd., Springfield, Oregon,
on October 10, 1980. We understand that you are the owner of said property.
STRUCTURAL AND FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY:
The following items must be installed, repaired, or replaced to conform to the Uni-
form Housing Code as adopted by the City of Springfield:
1) The house flooring and floor supports in the kitchen and bathroom areas are
deteriorated due to excessive moisture contact and improper maintenance of
plumbing fixtures (U.H.C. 1001(c)).
2) The roofing has deteriorated and therefore fails to provide effective water-
proofing of the dwelling (U.H.C. 1001(h)).
3) The foundation is inadequate for support of a permanent structure and fails to
provide sufficient access and clearance to underfloor areas (U.H.C. 1001(c) 1
and 25l7(c) of the Oregon State Structural Specialty Code),
SANITATION:
The plumbing system is badly deteriorated and improperly maintained and falls into
the category of hazardous plumbing as described in Section 100l(f) of the Uniform
Housing Code as adopted by the City of Springfield. Although the existing plumbing,
at the time of its installation, may have met the standards of the code that was in
existence at that time, alterations and/or improper maintenance require corrections
to be made in acco~dance with both the Uniform Housing Code as adopted by the City
of Springfield and the current Oregon State Plumbing Specialty Code (O.S.P.C.).
1) The sink waste drain line is broken, allowing waste water to spill directly onto
the ground. The waste drain line must be connected so that it empties into the
sanitary sewer system (O.P.S.C. 301).
2) The plumbing system must be maintained in a sanitary and safe operating condition.
The sink water supply lines are leaking under the sink (O.P.S.C. 319).

3) The water heater is required to have a water supply shut off valve and a pres-
sure relief valve and drain which must be piped to the exterior of the struc-
ture (O.P.S.C. 1005(b) and 1007(e)).
4) The waste sewage line for the house is open., Liquid waste is draining directly
onto the ground (O.P.S.C. 301 and 319).
Electrical safety violations were recently forwarded to you in the form of a City
of Springfield Inspection Report. Because of the potentially hazardous conditions
listed thereon, the electrical inspector has requested of Springfield Utility Board
that the supply power be disconnected. Corrections relative to structural and plumb-
ing violations must be completed by thirty (30) days from the date of this letter
(November 27, 1980). Your anticipated cooperation is appreciated.
Please direct all inquiries to the Springfield.Building Division at 726-3753.
Sincerely,
