You may recall that a certificate of occupancy is the permit from the city that says a house may be occupied as a residence. The litigation with the city that began years ago related to the city claiming that you could not occupy the house. Lyle advised that the following tasks must be completed prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy: 1) Plumbing: Licensed plumber must inspect, repair as needed and certify to the city that the plumbing meets code. 2) Electrical: Licensed electrician must inspect, repair as needed and certify to the city that the electrical meets code. 3) Add cedar members to the four piers at the front of the porch. You advised that this work has been completed. 4) Fina1 inspection. City inspector must inspect house and certify that house is ready for occupancy. I requested a final inspection be scheduled. 5) Certificate of Occupancy will be issued following inspection and approval that the house is ready for occupancy. As you know, the city has scheduled a hearing before the court alleging that there is no certificate of occupancy. The date of the hearing is December 9, 2008. If the above issues are satisfactorily addressed and the city issues a certificate of occupancy prior to December 9, the ciry's claim will be moot. Sincerely, G GORY A.
