Subject: Substandard building located at 2133 Laura Street, Springfield, OR
Dear Mr. Houston,
The structure located at the above address, more particularly described as Lane County
Assessor's Map & Tax Lot number 17033523-09800, is an unsafe and substandard
building as described in the Springfield Building Safety Codes Administrative Code.
Lane County Assessment and Taxation records indicate you are the owner of this
property.
Section 203 of the Administrative Code describes buildings, which are substandard or
unsafe as those, which are structurally inadequate, have inadequate egress, or which
constitute a potential fire hazard or are otherwise dangerous to human life. The following
,
items include, but are not limited to, conditions existing at the structure classifying it as a
substandard building:
1. The structural members of the garage walls, ceilings, and roof have been severely
weakened to the point of collapse due to fire damage. If you choose to repair the
structure, it must be repaired to meet Oregon One and Two Family Dwelling
Code requirements which includes providing truss engineering to our office prior
to installation.
2. Due to the fue, the garage structure is open and accessible and has created an
attractive nuisance. No person in charge of the property shall permit an open,
vacant structure which is attractive, dangerous and accessible to children or which
is used for habitation by trespassers. The structure must be secured to prevent
access.
3. Damaged roof coverings and broken windows allow for weather infiltration.
Every structure shall be weather protected so as to protect'structural components
from deterioration.
