The support posts were made from two 2x6's hap-hazardly fastened together. <br /> Joists were improperly attached to the house with joist hangers. Stair opening is too <br /> narrow to meet code.No flashing Vvas installed at the house which has been left open <br /> to water damage for years.A nail gun was used to nail decking which allows water <br /> into the wood causing rot and also leaves a jagged edge which is hazardous to bare <br /> feet. Decking was left incomplete with no guardrails and is considered a hazard. <br /> • Patio Doors-Doors were replaced with very low quality doors that move in the ha.ck <br /> over 1" which allows wind and rain into the home. <br /> � Roofing - Roofing and flashing were poorly done allowing leaks throughout the <br /> home. The leaks have caused damage to sheet rock, insulation and possibly the <br /> framing. Personal items through out the house have also been damaged. There is a <br /> mildew smell that permeates the entire home. <br /> • So�ts-A previous Orono Building Inspector(Bruce Vang)informed the contractor <br /> that he wanted to see soffit construction prior to closing them up,an inspection was <br /> not called for. Portions of the soffit aze falling off at this time. The soffits were left <br /> unpainted and unprotected. <br /> • Electrical-Electrical boxes on the exterior of the home have been left open allowing <br /> water into the home.Numerous circuits have been shorted out from water infiltration. <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us <br />
