Re: Notice and Order to Comply With The Springfield Building Safety Code Administrative
Code Relative To The Unsafe And Substandard Buildings at 1331 Olympic Street, Springfield,
Oregon
Dear Property Owner:
As a result of a recent inspection, the City of Springfield Community Services Division, Building
Safety, has determined that the structure located at the above referenced location, also known as
Lane County Assessors Map #17032532, Tax Lot 10200, for reasons below, 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 owners 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 structures identified
above, classifying them as substandard and unsafe buildings.
1. The property is not currently served with water service, The Housing Code requires that
each residence shall be provided with hot and cold running water.
2. The property is not currently served with electrical service. The Housing Code requires
that each residence shall be provided with heating facilities capable of maintaining a
room temperature of 68 degrees F. at a point 3 feet above the floor in all habitable rooms.
The Code further states that where there is electrical power available within 300 feet of
the premises of the building, such building shall be connected to such electrical power.
3. Each dwelling shall be provided with a water closet, lavatory, and a bathtub or shower.
Although these fixtures may be installed in the dwelling, the lack of water service
produces inadequate and unsanitary sewage and plumbing facilities.
4. Lack of adequate garbage and rubbish storage and removal. Because the improper
storage and disposition of waste creates a potentially serious public health hazard, dead
organic matter and debris must be stored in covered leak proof containers and be
removed a minimum of once every seven (7) days.
5. Also on the property are used materials which are in violation of the Springfield City
Code Section 5.002 (4). This Section identifies Used Materials as waste, debris or

for use for ingress and egress or unless it is in connection with a business enterprise,
lawfully licensed by the city, and property operated in the appropriate business zone,
pursuant to the development code. These items must be removed from the property.
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 being posted to be vacated by 9:00 a.m., Friday, January 26, 2007 due to the potential hazards
to the occupants resulting from the above cited conditions. If you, or your tenants do not vacate
the premise within the time frame specified, the City will seek compliance with the Building
Safety Codes through legal recourse, which may include Municipal Court proceedings.
Once the property has been vacated, occupancy may not take place until the above mentioned
unsafe and substandard conditions are corrected and approved by this office.
Any person having any record, title or legal interest in the building may appeal from this Notice
and Order to the Building Board of Appeals, provided that he appeal is made in writing and filed
with the Building Official within thirty (30) days from the date of service of this Notice and
Order. Failure to appeal will constitute a waiver of all right to an administrative hearing and
determination of this matter.
Your anticipated courtesy and cooperation is appreciated. If you have any questions, you may
contact me at 726-3663.

Eugene, Oregon 97404
Re: Notice and Order to Comply With The Springfield Building Safety Code Administrative
Code Relative To The Unsafe And Substandard Buildings at 1331 Olympic Street, Springfield,
Oregon
Dear Property Owner:
As a result of a recent inspection, the City of Springfield Community Services Division, Building
Safety, has determined that the structure located at the above referenced location, also known as
Lane County Assessors Map #17032532, Tax Lot 10200, for reasons below, 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 owners 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 structures identified
above, classifying them as substandard and unsafe buildings.
1. The property is not currently served with water service. The Housing Code requires that
each residence shall be provided with hot and cold running water.
2, The property is not currently served with electrical service, The Housing Code requires
that each residence shall be provided with heating facilities capable of maintaining a
room temperature of 68 degrees F. at a point 3 feet above the floor in all habitable rooms.
The Code further states that where there is electrical power available within 300 feet of
the premises of the building, such building shall be connected to such electrical power.
3. Each dwelling shall be provided with a water closet, lavatory, and a bathtub or shower.
Although these fixtures may be installed in the dwelling, the lack of water service
produces inadequate and unsanitary sewage and plumbing facilities.
4. Lack of adequate garbage and rubbish storage and removal. Because the improper
storage and disposition of waste creates a potentially serious public health hazard, dead

to the occupants resulting from the above cited conditions. If you, or your tenants do not vacate
the premise within the time frame specified, the City will seek compliance with the Building
Safety Codes through legal recourse, which may include Municipal Court proceedings.
Once the property has been vacated, occupancy may not take place until the above mentioned
unsafe and substandard conditions are corrected and approved by this office.
Any person having any record, title or legal interest in the building may appeal from this Notice
and Order to the Building Board of Appeals, provided that he appeal is made in writing and filed
with the Building Official within thirty (30) days from the date of service of this Notice and
Order. Failure to appeal will constitute a waiver of all right to an administrative hearing and
determination of this matter.
