RE: Compliance with the Springfield Building Safety Code Administrative Code Relative to the Unsafe
and Substandard building at 1064 Lochaven Ave, Springfield, OR.
Dear Property Owners:
As a result of a recent inspection, the City of Springfield Development and Public Works Department,
Building Safety, has determined that the structure located at the above referenced location, also
known as Lane County Assessors Map # 17032722-07507, for reasons below, is considered a
substandard and unsafe building as described in the Springfield Building Safety Code Administrative
Code. Lane County Assessment and Taxation records reveal that you are the owner of this property.
Section 203 of the Springfield Building Safety Code Administrative Code classifies structures which are
structurally inadequate or dangerous to human life as unsafe. Section 1001 of the Springfield Housing
Code specifies conditions constituting substandard buildings. The following conditions include but are
not limited to conditions existing at the structure identified above, classifying it as a substandard and
unsafe building.
L. Each dwelling shall be provided with hot water, adequate heating facilities, proper operating
ventilation equipment, and required electrical lighting. The property is not currently served
with electrical services, rendering these required items inoperable.
2. Each dwelling shall be provided with a water closet, lavatory, and a bathtub and/or shower
Although these fixtures are installed in the dwelling, the lack of water service produces
inadequate and unsanitary sewage and plumbing facilities.
The Building Official has determined the property is currently in an unsanitary and unsafe condition.
ln order to become in compliance with the Springfield Housing Code and the Dangerous Building
Code, the above noted items shall be corrected. Once the unsanitary and unsafe conditions have
been corrected the structure shall be inspected forthe noted items and approved bythis office.

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. Notice is hereby served that the property is vacated
by L7OO, September 27,2OL6 due to the potential hazards to the occupants resulting from the above
cited conditions. lf you or your tenants do not vacate the premises within the time frame specified,
the City will seek compliance with the Building Safety Codes through legal recourse, which may
include Municipal Court proceedings.
Any person having record, title or legal interest in the building may appeal from this Substandard
Letter, provided that the appeal is made in writing and filed with the Building Official within one (1)
week from the date of this letter. Failure to appeal wil! constitute a waiver of all right to an
