Building Commissioner Assistant Commissioner
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 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
I, 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.

Information and Instructions
Massachusetts General Laws chapter 152 requires all employers to provide workers' compensation for their employees.
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.

Mr. Morin,
Your building permit application with plans dated 5-7-15 has been approved as drawn and per this memo.
All work must meet all applicable codes whether noted or not included within this memo.
Please follow up on the following items:
These items will need to be accomplished as the project moves forward and before rough inspections;
1. Assure that all step flashing terminations direct water in front of the siding and or trims.
2. A drywell for site water drainage is required.
3. Smoke, Heat and CO detectors throughout the structure to current building codes.
a. A heat detector is required in the garage
b. A smoke/CO is needed outside the master bedroom
c. A smoke/CO is requires for every 1200 sgft or part there of so two are required in the
basement and one of them needs to be at the bottom of the stair.
4. An emergency escape window is required within every bedroom, basement and walk-in attic.
5. An air barrier is required between the tub and or shower, and the wall cavity.
6. There are several windows that appear to require tempered glazing.
a. The window to the right of the sunroom entry.
b. The door sidelight.
c. The two windows over the master tub.
7. Sheet CS-1 Truss A&B detail and similar occurrences require fire stopping see plan notes.
8. Sheet GR-F Great Room Ridge Detail should have venting even if it is not connected to continuous
proper vents. R806.4 unvented attic assemblies requires a specific amount of continuous insulation
for these applications,Zone 5 R-20. Current studies indicate that a ridge vent even without PVs will
tend to mitigate moisture collection within the insulation. We have allowed your application with a
ridge vent. Further because of the framing technique it would be difficult to include PVs.
9. Sheet CS-1 Cross Section N-S Center Line Because of the technique used to over frame the 2 x 10s
with 2 x 6s at least one row of lateral blocking will be needed atop the 2 x10s to brace the 2 x 6s.
These could be staggered and could be raised up to reduce thermal bridging.
10. Sheet L-1 the wall line at the right of the screen room will need a braced wall solution per
R602.10.4.1.1 CS-PF at the two short sections, please review the specific requirements in the
referenced section.
Note:The 2012 IECC with MA amendments is the non-stretch energy code and the 9th Edition Building
Code and new Stretch Code are expected to begin in July of 2016.
As of August 4th 2011 the 81h Edition MA code is the 2009 IRC with MA amendments.
In the following are some generic requirements which seem to be problematic.
This is not intended to be comprehensive, nor is it a substitute for purchasing and reading the MA codes.

a difference between a vapor retarder or barrier and an air barrier.An air barrier is intended to stop air
flow(convection) a vapor retarder or barrier is intended to stop molecular moisture transfer(diffusion).
A vapor retarder or barrier is effective even if there are some holes or gaps, however an air barrier has
to be absolute and complete. If air can leak through an electrical device or through a crack it follows the
path of least resistance and carries 99%of the moisture in a structure.This is evident every time one
exposes fiberglass insulation and finds black insulation, which has filtered dirt out of the air moving
through the insulation. 780 CMR R601.2 for vapor retarders and Table N1102.4.2 for air sealing
requirements.
