Dear Mr. Walker,
After work beyond the scope of the existing building permits was discovered, and you agreed to take a permit to cover the work and required repair we conducted an inspection of the
structural work underway and found the following items need to be corrected.
The following are items that will need to be rectified to obtain an occupancy permit for this single family home.
The second floor support beam that has been removed must be sized and replaced.
The entire rear shed roof must be removed and rebuilt including leveling and repairing the supporting wall.
The Lally column in the basement must be replaced with a solid cement filled column and set on appropriate bearing.
Both egresses must be corrected to meet current code requirements including appropriate bearing. Plan required.
The front porch must be supported by appropriate bearing supporting sound materials. Plan required.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. You can reach me at (413) 587-1240 or by email at cmiller@northamptonma.gov.
Respectfully,
Chuck Miller
Assistant Building Commissioner
