The plans you have submitted do not show enough detail for me to determine whether the proposed construction will meet the requirements of the Massachusetts State Building Code. The foundation proposed by Cotton Tree Service would meet code requirements but the framing and finish plans are less complete. I encourage you to submit plans showing the structure in greater detail and also addressing fire protection and fire separation between the house and garage. If, when we inspect the addition, we determine that it does not meet code requirements as built, you will have to make any corrections that are necessary for compliance. If you have questions, feel free to contact me at the building department. My telephone number is (413) 587 -1240.

Pursuant to this statute, an employee is defined as "...every person in the service of another under any contract of hire, express or implied, oral or written." An employer is defined as "an individual, partnership, association, corporation or other legal entity, or any two or more of the foregoing engaged in a joint enterprise, and including the legal representatives of a deceased employer, or the receiver or trustee of an individual, partnership, association or other legal entity, employing employees. However the owner of a dwelling house having not more than three apartments and who resides therein, or the occupant of the dwelling house of another who employs persons to do maintenance, construction or repair work on such dwelling house or on the grounds or building appurtenant thereto shall not because of such employment be deemed to be an employer." MGL chapter 152, §25C(6) also states that "every state or local licensing agency shall withhold the issuance or renewal of a license or permit to operate a business or to construct buildings in the commonwealth for any applicant who has not produced acceptable evidence of compliance with the insurance coverage required." Additionally, MGL chapter 152, §25C(7) states "Neither the commonwealth nor any of its political subdivisions shall enter into any contract for the performance of public work until acceptable evidence of compliance with the insurance requirements of this chapter have been presented to the contracting authority." Applicants Please fill out the workers' compensation affidavit completely, by checking the boxes that apply to your situation and, if necessary, supply sub - contractor(s) name(s), address(es) and phone number(s) along with their certificate(s) of insurance. Limited Liability Companies (LLC) or Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP) with no employees other than the members or partners, are not required to carry workers' compensation insurance. If an LLC or LLP does have employees, a policy is required. Be advised that this affidavit may be submitted to the Department of Industrial Accidents for confirmation of insurance coverage. Also be sure to sign and date the affidavit. The affidavit should be returned to the city or town that the application for the permit or license is being requested, not the Department of Industrial Accidents. Should you have any questions regarding the law or if you are required to obtain a workers' compensation policy, please call the Department at the number listed below. Self- insured companies should enter their self - insurance license number on the appropriate line. City or Town Officials Please be sure that the affidavit is complete and printed legibly. The Department has provided a space at the bottom of the affidavit for you to fill out in the event the Office of Investigations has to contact you regarding the applicant. Please be sure to fill in the permit/license number which will be used as a reference number. In addition, an applicant that must submit multiple permit/license applications in any given year, need only submit one affidavit indicating current policy information (if necessary) and under "Job Site Address" the applicant should write "all locations in (city or town)." A copy of the affidavit that has been officially stamped or marked by the city or town may be provided to the applicant as proof that a valid affidavit is on file for future permits or licenses. A new affidavit must be filled out each year. Where a home owner or citizen is obtaining a license or permit not related to any business or commercial venture (i.e. a dog license or permit to burn leaves etc.) said person is NOT required to complete this affidavit. The Office of Investigations would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation and should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give us a call.

The state defines "Homeowner" as, " Person(s) who owns a parcel on which he /she resides or intends to be, a one or two family dwelling, attached or detached structures accessory to such use and /or farm structures. A person who constructs more than one home in a two - year period shall not be considered a home owner." The building department for the City of Northampton wants any person(s) who seek to use the home owner exemption, to act as their own construction supervisor, to be aware that by doing so you become responsible for compliance with state building codes and regulations. The inspection process requires that the building department be called to inspect work at various stages, which include foundation /footings (before backfill), sonotube holes (before pour), a rough building inspection (before work is concealed), insulation inspection (if required) and a final building inspection. The building department requires these inspections before the work is concealed, failure to secure these inspections can result in failure to obtain a certificate of occupancy until the work can be inspected. If the homeowner hires other trades to perform work (electrical, plumbing & gas) the homeowner will be responsible to make sure that the trades hired secure their proper permits in conjunction to the building permit issued, and that they get their required inspections. Failure of the individual trades to secure the permits and inspections as required can DELAY the project until such time as the proper permits and inspections are made C " understand the above. (Home owner /reside signature requesting exemption) I will call to schedule all required building inspections necessary for the building permit issued to me.
