MN BLDG CODES STDS 6512971973 12/12 102 14:18 NO.190 04/05 <br /> My contractor told us that there was no way that an, adequate <br /> inspection could have taken place two years after the deck was e <br /> built. The footings could not have been checked for depth <br /> type. ' i <br /> p ° '0 <br /> He also noted the footings dad not reach, deck height n '� <br /> almost all cases and that the deck was severely compromised. I ��G?A% -f* <br /> told him, I needed to have the city come out again to reinspect the 'c Y'0 *91 <br /> deck and the sunporch before I could tape any action against the SOY- '� <br /> sellers. <br /> r <br /> The City inspectors came out 6/3/02 and by the time they left they <br /> wrote up two pages of violations including the handrail that had <br /> been cited as the only correction the first time the deck was <br /> aspected.

It was touch more in depth <br /> as to what was required to meet compliance than the June 3 notice. <br /> It was also discovered that the sunporch had never had a permit <br /> taken out on it and had never been inspected by the city even <br /> though it was built at the same time as the deck. The sellers say <br /> that the inspector who came out to issue the stop work notice was <br /> aware that the sunporch was new construction but did not address <br /> it saying they only needed a permit for the deck. <br /> 36cause the city did not correctly addreis the inspection of the <br /> deck and sunporch x will now be responsible for all repairs instead <br /> ' ! tithe sellers. Estimates for take down and rebuilding of these <br /> structures are at $60,000. These are expenses that I would not <br /> have incurred had the city inspectors correctly inspected the <br /> structures the first time and had the sellers made the necessary <br /> repairs. My husband and I are taking the former owners to <br />
