Title
Appeal of Mark Muckerheide to a Fire Certificate of Occupancy Inspection Correction Notice at 389 HERSCHEL STREET.
Purpose of Appeal
I am appealing Numbers 1, 4, and 13. I am appealing the window deficiencies because the measurements are very close & the cost to replace the windows would cause me financial hardship. I am appealing Number 13 regarding parking spaces because the area in question is not used for parking. It is a grassy area in front of the garage & paving it would again cause me financial hardship. The fire inspection report is attached.
Date of Order(s)
June 20, 2011
Variance Recommendation
Yes, in the first floor rear bedroom a six inch variance of egress opening height, and a 2 inch variance in the opening height of the third floor bedroom. Hearing on the balance of the appeal.
