Title
Appeal of James Stohr, on behalf of Doris M. Bailey, to a Re-Inspection Fire Certificate of Occupancy With Deficiencies at 1030 CONWAY STREET.
Purpose of Appeal
I am requesting a waiver on the ceiling height of the upper bedroom. This home was built in 1903 and thus the height does not conform to current building code.
The windows in the bedrooms have been replaced prior to my sister's husband's death with high efficiency vinyl windows and to replace them a second time would impose a financial burden on her. On March 30, Appellant called and wanted to appeal the painting (need more time).
Date of Order(s)
February 22, 2012
Inspector/Key Staff
Wayne Spiering
Legislative Hearing Staff Comments
Staff spoke to Spiering who gave his okay to accept this late appeal. Spiering did not do the reinspection on 3-22-12 because the appellant said that an appeal would be filed. Spiering feels that the appellant will appeal the property being in the C of O program. If this is part of appellant's appeal, Spiering will grant an extension on the exterior items--Item 2--if the Legislative Hearing Officer says that the property needs to stay in the program.
No hearing necessary. On March 30, Appellant called and wanted to appeal the painting (need more time).
Variance Recommendation
Yes, main floor bedroom - 2 inch variance egress opening height and upper floor 2 inches egress opening height. Also, variance on proportion of upper floor bedroom above 7 feet, where 30% of room is above 7 feet, rather than the required 50%.
