The fotlowing Housing Code violations were found and must be corrected before disposi- tion of the property: 1. The bedroom windows must be openable for emergency egress. The existing metal double-hung windows stick and the tracks need cleaning and lubrication. 2. Ttre hole in the bathroom floor between the tub and water closet must be repaired to prevent moisture damage to the wood floor structure. 3. The waste piping under the kitchen sink has deteriorated and nust be replaced. 4. Replace the pressure relief discharge piping with properly sized naterial to within 6rt above the bottom of the drain pan. 6. Renove or replace the short section of nrbber hose connecting the water piping for the clothes washer with approved pipe material and fittings. e following corrections are reconmended to prevent potential deterioration, infes-,tation or safety problems, but are not required by the Springfield Housing Code: 1. Paint is peeling from the ceilings of some roons and nildew has stained the walls and wood work. These surfaces need repair, cleaning and/or repainting/repapering. 2. Heavy noss has developed on the roof. It should be removed and the roof treated to retard future growth. Close inspection of the attic for possible leaks is also advisable. 3 4 A screened crawl space access cover should be installed using decay resistant material. I'here is no fire separation between the dwelling and the attached garage. The wal1 framing should be extended to the roof, with 5/8rr type rrxrr gfpsum waI1 board applied to the garage side. A 22" x 30'r self-closing access door to the attic area should also be installed in the garage. 225 North sth Street o Sprins{ield, Oreson9'1477 o 503/726-3753 5 6 7 8 Inspection of City Owned Property 4206 Smith Way March 1, 1985 Page 2. The drainage downspouts should be reattached to the gutters where they have separated, The Loose ceramic wa1l tile between the tub and water closet should be re- paired. The unsealed joints around the bath tub at the wal1s and floor should be caulked to prevent potential noisture danage to the structure. The baseboard heater in the bathroom shows signs of corrosion and should be checked and/or repaired if needed. The operation of all heaters should be checked when power is reconnected. The exterior wood window trim is separating due to exposure to rain and sun. A11 open joints should be resealed and painted. 10. The existing dryer vent should be provided with a backdraft damper, or removed and the opening into the structure sealed to prevent rodent infestation. It should be noted that the electrical power was not in service at the time of in-spection. The electrical service has been recently replaced, but it could not be tested because of disconnection. 9 Don Moore Structural Inspector Denny Bo Plumbing/Mechanical Inspector /OrryA*a-'u /Janes Matteson Electrical Inspector cc DM/lh George Dicks, Maintenance Division *'Pl^I- 6-375 lYIRIIIG INSTALLER AclORESS AOORESs (,F I HSTALL.AYION I 6 ,.--)tl w TY OR TOWN)ay LAAEL NO - TY'E OF STRUCTURE USEO xErcHT - o^r. h-4-8O- wlR.HG METHoo: xoN-llETALLtc 'HEATHED .ABLE D ^"^ro"ao .AELE D ao*o.r,, E -- powER co OWNER e z€ ,l/ Electrical Inspecrion Heport (Re 72 ,13J.7B) 3 t aAOORESS CHAHGES OF'OEREO lcr OR TOWN (/oa <"1{ 2 11 A o-. t.-t * t 4) .'t€ L 6<-1- 9 o 1L e4 e -<J n-/*.t c<*( I (t 1-L \4a_ a a // fl T;-,, *.rS r --1,'h/* t ;,el- covfR rxsrEcToR FTNAL ACCOMPANIEO AY ,'fohn ryl mflEmfi@mANDUmf,CITY OF SPRINGFIELD TO January 10, 1980 Ron Clark Superintendent of Building FROIU Sally Johnson Environmental Inspector RE: Housing Inspection at 4206 Smith Drive On January 8, 1980, the Building Division inspected the house at 4206 Snith Drive, owned by the City of Springfield.
