Dear Mr. Steinmetz,
At your request a final inspection was conducted on the construction of your deck. The
following violations must be corrected to bring your deck into compliance with the Minnesota
State Building Code adopted by the City.
1) Handrail height is to be between 34 — 38 inches. The handrail on the upper section of
stairs goes from 35 inches at the bottom to 32 % inches at the top.
2) The space between the handrail and the top of the guard shall be not less than one and
one -half inches. The space between on your handrail is one inch.
3) The maximum rise of a stair is 7 % inches and the greatest riser shall not exceed the
smallest by more than 3/8 of an inch. The bottom rise in the upper section of stairs is

I have enclosed a copy of the City's deck hand -out for your review. Please have the corrections
made within 30 days from the date of this letter and call for a final re- inspection of the project.
