His worries whether the current wiring is proper in the dwelling is beyond my expertise and I will refer him to the electrical ctor. Here are the items that are not in compliance with the Housing Code (105CMR410): ▪ kitchen range hood-light and fan not working (all circuit breakers were on) ▪ rear egress door-lock set not secure (with door locked, moderate pressure will pop open the door; to need secure with the deadbolt but the provided lockset should also be functional -the door strike plate appears padding out from current position • front door storm door piston -mounting bracket at door jamb is folding and will fail, already makes piston work with difficulty (should be replaced) 'ones had heat questions but the thermostat temperature agreed with my calibrated digital thermometer and I will n in colder weather if it remains a concern. Jones said that when presenting maintenance concerns, he was told to call us. How can he send in maintenance ;erns without going through our office? Let me know that you have scheduled these items and also when they are plete, so that I can reinspect. erely Smith nund Smith alth Inspector rthampton Health Department 2 Main Street, Northampton MA 01060 3)587-1339 gular Schedule: Monday 8.Wednesday, 8-4:30; Thursday 8-12 noon. 6/8/2015 3:00 PM Tracking #: WATER/SEWER_ HOUSING_ SEPTIC NUISANCE SMOKE BODYART Entered By: aspection Scheduled on: 'LAINT INFORMATION: aint Location: r12'_ of Complaint: A IPLAINTANT'SINFORMATI N: 3crr'�5 ilainant/Occupant's Name: �— Mailing Address: VER'S INFORMATION: CEA.vwt op-) i P-S 1r`I C� Address: er's Name: • C lerty Mgr./LL: Address: Date Entered: HOARDING POOLS NAIL SALONS OTHER Date of Complaint: 67 / i S Animals: Y/N Child Under 60/N Telephone #( )_ Alternate# ( )_ Telephone #( ) Alternate# ( ) iplaint Unfounded: �7kil&E ti On) Ltc -r f Feel lid; uide editions Found: I`++P' Ddb <EcJe-E iAt Tn- DF'70 6+-' 'Fat g „E_ Srr Coo- A%FSS :TION UCEN: Date/Time of Inspection ignature of Inspecting Officer pton Mail-Housing complaint ng complaint gas ---- h <esmith @northamptonma.gov> roes<naj362 @hotmail.com> idith O'Leary <moleary@northamptonma.gov> the notes from your call and would like to make an inspection visit to your unit.

The building was constructed in 2008, in accordance with the 6th edition of the Mass building code.The current code is the 8th edition.There have been many changes to the code in the interim. The term fire door or fire rated door refers to a door that will resist the spread of fire for a specified amount of time. A fire rated door assembly includes the door panel, the door jamb and a mechanism that automatically closes the door. AU doors of this type need automatic closers. Those doors were specified as fire doors in the original plan.The 6th edition code required rated doors in certain fire rated walls. It is not clear whether fire rated doors were required in those exterior walls, but they were specified on the original plans. The 8th edition of the Massachusetts State Building Code states: The legal occupancy of any structure existing on the date of adoption of this code shall be permitted to continue "102.6 Existing Structures without change, except as is specifically covered in this code or as deemed necessary by the building official for the general safety and welfare of the public. Unless 102.6.1 Laws in Effect or structure G shall meet and shall berpresumed code, to meet the provisions of the applicable laws,codes,xrules orwl mg narrow provided that the or altered a or regulations bylaws or ordinances in effect at the time such building or structure was constructed or altered and shall be allowed to continue to be occupied pursuant to its use and occupancy, p structure shall be maintained by the owner in accordance with this code.... In 102.6.3 Less Stringent rules or regulations, applicable provisions gregulations, of this bylaws cases where the provisions time this code are less stringent sub scan the applicable the e codes, cod alorpply, pro id at the such application construction can e or substantial alteration, ten app code shall apply, providing such application can be reasonably demonstrated to not result in danger to the public, as determined by the building official." I have inspected the building and confirmed the existing conditions. The 6th edition code does not unit require t fiae common in a dwelling or unity do need unit to be fire doos� The exterior ldoo s opening directly to the outside unit t into a common an individual id lobby)unit of the building from an individual un do not need to be fire doors. As such, automatic door closers are not required by the state building code. Since both exit doors open directly to the exterior of the building, they need not be fire doors. Based on code section 102.6.3, I authorize removal of the automatic closers. There may be other codes and regulations that pertain to this building. My jurisdiction only extends to the Massachusetts State Building Code. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
