All work must meet all applicable codes whether noted or not included within this memo. -
Please follow up on the following items:
1. All open walls must be air sealed and insulated to 2009 IECC.An absolute air barrier is required
between the shower and the tub unit.
2. If the window above the tub is within 60" of the standing surface the window must be tempered.
3. Dryers must be vented to the exterior.A maximum of 8 equivalent feet of flex pipe can be used and

As of August 4th 2011 the 8th Edition MA code is the 2009 IRC with MA amendments.

HOME OWNER EXEMPTION ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The State of Massachusetts allows the homeowner the right under 780CMR 108.3.4 to act as his/her
construction supervisor. 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 considered a home owner."
N,
The building department for the City of Northampton wants any p= son(s) who seek to use the home
owner exemption, to act as their own construction supervisor, 0 be aware that by doing so you
become responsible for corn• 'ance with state building odes and regulations. The inspection
process requires that the building •-partment be called t• nspect work at various stages, which include
foundation/footings (before backfi , sonotube hol- (before pour), a rough building inspection
(before work is concealed), insulati• • inspectio. (if required) and a final building inspection.
The building department requires these in •ecti.'s before the work is concealed, failure to secure
these inspections can result in failure to • ain a certificate of occupancy until the work can be
inspected.
If the homeowner hires other trades to p orm ,rk (electrical, plumbing & gas) the homeowner will be
responsible to make sure that the trade,,S hired sec e their proper permits in conjunction to the building
permit issued, and that they get their required insp:ctions. Failure of the individual trades to secure
the permits and inspections as required can DELAY the •roject until such time as the proper permits
and inspections are made
understand the above.
(Home owner/resident's signature requesting exemption)•..
I will call to schedule all required building inspections necessary for the building permit issued to me.
