James Slavik 14201 N 57 St. Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 Re: Deck Permit #2001 -00136 Dear Mr. Slavik: On April 30, 2007 you requested a final re- inspection of the violations noted in my September 8, 2006 Correction Notice. The violations were found not to be satisfactorily corrected, as per the Minnesota State Building Code, during the final re- inspection. On May 25, 2007, I addressed a second letter to you, again addressing the building code violations and requested compliance within 30 days. To date no effort to comply appears to have been made and the stair structure remains in violation of the City's Building Code Requirements. The following items are still in violation and require correction to achieve compliance with the requirements of the Minnesota State Building Code: 1) A gripable handrail is required. The 5/4" X 6" board lying flat on top of your guardrail does not comply. 2) The stair risers must all be the same height. Your risers vary from 5 -Y2" to 7" and do not comply with this code requirement. 3) The stair treads must also all be the same depth. The treads you have installed vary a 1" in depth and do not comply. With this letter you are requested to correct these violations within 30 days from the date of this letter. Failure to comply is a violation of the Code is considered a misdemeanor offence and will leave the City with no alternative but to begin enforcement proceedings. For your convenience, I have enclosed another copy of the stairs and handrail requirements for your review and use. A copy of this has been placed in your property file at City Hall for record purposes. It will be removed at such time the corrections have been made and they have been found to be in compliance. Contact Julie at 651 -351 -1661 to schedule an appointment for re- inspection once the corrections have been made. Should you have any questions please contact me at 651- 275 -9590.
