RE: 1528 and 1538 7th Street, Springfield, Oregon
Dear Property Owners:
Due to a complaint, an electrical safety inspection was performed at the above locations
regarding the possibility of one electrical. service providing power to two single family
structures.
The Oregon Electrical Specialty Code states in Article 210.25 "Branch circuits in
dwelling units shall supply only loads within that dwelling unit or loads associated only
with that dwelling unit." By using electrical power from another unit, both units are in
violation. Although you own both structures, the electrical supply is desigiIed only for
one structure and the extension of power to the adjacent structure shall cease
immediately.
I will perform an inspection on Wednesday, December 12,2007 to ensure the extension
of power has been removed. Section 204 (b) of the Administrative Code provides
procedures where the Building Official may require vacation of the premises when cited
deficiencies represent an immediate hazard to life, limb, property or safety of the public
or its occupants. If permanent service has not been connected, or, if power is still being
supplied to the neighboring property at the time of my inspection, the City will seek
compliance with the Building Safety Codes through legal recourse, which may include
Municipal Court proceedings.
If you have an!, questions, please feel free to contact me at 541-726-4652.
Sincerely,
~~-
Bryan Richardson
Electrical Inspector
