The 2 inch gap between the bedroom ceiling and the exterior wall noted in your Letter was visible and from speaking with tree tenants and Owner on the premises this crack has been existing for quite sometime and was covered up by a suspended ceiling that had been removed. The Owner confirmed that the crack had been there approximately 15 years ago when she purchased the property from the previous Owner. There obviously has been Borne settlement in the brick structure at some point since the building was constructedbut I did not see any evidence of structural failure. The floor framing runs parallel to the exterior wall in questionand is supported by an interior wall with supports in the basement. My recommendation at this point is to address the crack by overlaying the ceiling with gypsum board and sealing all cracks in the ceiling and wall around this area. The cracks at the base of the exterior wall near grade should also be filled and sealed to eliminate any water infiltration that could cause damage. The first floor joist adjacent to the exterior wall needs additional support at the side closest to the street. Once the area of the 2"crack is covered and sealed it should be monitored for any additional cracking by the Owner annually. If any future cracking occurs that suggests there is movement in the exterior wall a structural support system will be required.

Municipal Building Northampton, MA 01060 INSPECTOR Jeannie Ranney 160 Tilda Hill Road Florida, MA 01247 March 3, 2009 Re: 54 Williams Str t, 32C-272 Dear Jeannie, I was called to your property at 54 Williams Street on February 28, 2009 at approximately 6:00 pm. The suspended ceiling in the bedroom had collapsed. The ceiling in the study was also sagging in the center of the room. There is a 2 inch gap between the original bedroom ceiling and the exterior wall and where the wall and floor intersect. The exterior wall appears to be bulging outward in that area. These gaps indicate the possibility of serious structural deficiencies. In accordance with the Massachusetts State Building Code, §103.1 (Maintenance) and §121.0 (Unsafe Structures), we require that you submit a report detailing the condition of the building. If the report indicates structural deficiencies, you must correct those deficiencies or discontinue occupancy of the building. The report must be prepared by Massachusetts registered architect or Massachusetts registered professional engineer. Please submit the report to our office no later than March 25, 2009. If we do not receive the report by that date, we will take further action. Feel free to call if you have any questions. Our telephone number is 587-1240 and our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, excepting that we close at 12:00 noon on Wednesdays.
