Re: Garage/Accessory Structure Roof Maintenance/Repair
Dear Tim & Barb:
I am writing with regard to the tarp that has been placed over the roof of your garage/accessory
structure. I expect that the tarp may have been put in place as a result of some leakage or other
condition of disrepair to the roof Whatever the situation,the tarp does need to be removed and
the roof repaired.
The roof material protects the roof structure. It if is in deteriorated condition it is not serving to
protect the roof and may lead to deterioration of the structures framing system. Deterioration of
the roof and/or the framing system can result in those systems not being capable of supporting its
design load and caving in.
The structure is in nuisance condition in that it creates a depreciation of the property valuation by
its condition and also creates a safety hazard as per Minnesota State Statute 1300.0180 in that the
deteriorated condition creates an unsafe condition. .
Please investigate repair options to the structure and contact me for a work permit so that the
roof of the structure and any additional repair needed to it is completed no later than June 15,
2016.
Kindly contact me with any questions you may have regarding this communication. I am happy
to assist you in any way that I able to.
Sincerely,
J Hultman
Building Official
