Title
Appeal of Julie Meyer to a Fire Certificate of Occupancy Correction Notice at 1304 JULIET AVENUE.
Purpose of Appeal
#8 on list - Egress/escape window is approximately 1" smaller than the regulation. The windows are less than 20 years old, and are replacement windows fitted into the structure (the home was constructed in 1929). The windows are quick release and could easily be completely removed to allow escape. I request that these windows be allowed. Additionally, I request an extension of the time in which the work needs to be completed as some of it is extensive and contractors need to be hired. I request Novermber 1, 2011 as completion date.
Date of Order(s)
May 2, 2011
Variance Recommendation
Yes. 4 inches in openable height of both the east and west second floor bedroom windows.
