RE: 4501 Franklin Blvd. Space#23 , Eugene, Oregon
The City of Springfield Community Services Division, Building Safety requests that the
power be disconnected at the above referenced address for reasons identified below by
5:00 p.m. on Wednesday October 9,2002. The owner of the property is identified as Opal
Counts, 3095 Stapp Drive, Eugene, Oregon 97405 by Lane County Assessment and
Taxation records. The structure is currently unoccupied.
1. There are open junction boxes installed under the carpet of the upstairs room and
the steps of the down stairs bedroom.
2. There is exposed extension cord type wiring with open splices feeding lights in
the upstairs area.
3. There is a significant amount of wiring in the walls that was performed illegally
and has been covered without inspections.
4. The electrical panels are missing dead front covers and will require rewiring to
make them safe for use.
5. It appears that this residence is being fed from two locations which is in violation
of the National Electric Code, Article 230.2.
The electrical wiring that I could see is, in my professional opinion, hazardous and is a
potential life, fire, and safety hazard.
Thank you for your assistance and cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions,
please feel free to phone me at 726-3663.
