Purpose of Appeal: Original inspection - 5/2011 - had incorrect measurement of basement ceiling height. Appeal was denied pending further documentation. A "remeasure" was performed at 2nd inspection 1-8-15 and correct ceiling height was determined - Still less than code but increased ceiling height was documented. This appeal is pertaining to the new corrected height and permission for habitability even with a 4-6" deficiency still existing. Dwelling has decreased rent value due to existing prohibitations.
