Subject: Repair of Lumber Yard Building
On February l, 1991 an inspection was conducted on the
lumber yard building to determine what would be required to
repair the leaking roof. It is my opinion that the building is
beyond repair and if someone was to request a permit to repair a
building in this condition on private property, I would deny the
permit and commence hazardous building action. Structural
deficiencies and deterioration starts at the roof and continues
down to the foundation.
- Roofing is leaking and is past its life expectancy.
- Roof sheathing is rotted.
- Rafters are overspan and rotted.
- Beams are overspan and rotted and many are spliced
together at mid-span instead of being a solid member between
bearing points.
- Posts are rotted, undersized and are no longer plumb.
- Foundation is crumbling and bearing points are unstable.
- The whole building is leaning toward Brown Road.
It is my recommendation that all equipment and materials
should be removed as soon as possible and the building be secured
until it can be removed.
