In response to your appeal, dated February 17, 1995, an inspection was
conducted at 310 Cypress, Unit "C". This inspection revealed that
extensive structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical work will be
required in order to bring this unit into code compliance.
The permit that was issued for Code Enforcement Repairs did not cover the
extent of work required, nor was the City aware of the extent of work
required until the interior floor, wall and ceiling finishes were removed
and a pre -inspection conducted on February 10, 1995.
The permit for Code Enforcement Repairs was voided and a Notice of Public
Nuisance and Order to Abate by demolition was issued February 13, 1995
due to the fact that almost all of the foundation, framing, wiring,
plumbing and mechanical systems were either substandard, deteriorated or
removed.
I will expand on that order of February 13, 1995 so that you will have a
clear understanding of what will be required to secure a permit and
rebuild this unit.
1. The foundation on the north side is broken and missing. A new
foundation must be poured in this area.
2. The floor joists are deteriorated and overspanned. Provide a
floor framing plan to show how 2x4 floor joists will be supported
and repaired.
3. All wood which is termite infested or rotted must be removed
and replaced.
4. Ceiling joists and rafters are overspanned and rotted. Provide
a ceiling joist and rafter framing plan to show how ceiling and
roof will be supported.

5. The entire unit must be rewired and a new 100 ampere service provided.
6. The unit must be completely replumbed.
7. A heating system must be provided.
8. The 5' deep hole under.the unit must be filled and compacted.
9. New windows must be provided for emergency escape in the bedrooms
and light -ventilation in other areas. Show size and location of
windows on plan. Windows must be dual pane type.
10. Unit must be insulated.
A. R-11 Floor

12. Bedrooms must be at least 70 square feet.

14. Plans must be drawn to scale.

worker, other than licensed contractors.
16. Electrical and Plumbing work must be performed by licensed contractors.
I have provided a "Building It Yourself" booklet for your use.
