Hi Gabe, yes I agree a meeting would be great if there are concerns. I'm happy to come in whenever it
works for everyone. As of now no improvements have been made that would trigger a building permit
except a staircase that was built unbeknownst to the owner. The contractor built it before the bid was
accepted and approved, just miscommunication there, which was frustrating.
As far as the Preservation District all outside finishings that will happen will follow those guidelines, we
are well aware of those.
For the sprinkler system - We are unsure how long the system has been out of use from the previous
owner, but we've taken it upon ourselves to get that ball rolling. Shilo Sprinkler will be the contractor on
that and they have already viewed it and are preparing the quote. Same with alarms monitoring. Let me
know when is a good time to come in.
Thanks all.

A meeting with all of us sounds like a good idea. I noticed a great deal of work that appears to be going
on at this address yesterday when I drove by. I love to see our community be renewed and made safer. I
am concerned that this project might have skipped a few steps in between. As of yesterday, there are
new windows throughout, new exterior stairwell, building wrapped in prep for siding and alterations to
the roof possibly. I do not know if the approvals have already been received from the Historical
Preservation Commission and to my knowledge, no building permits have been issued. From my desk,
the major fire and life safety issues with this address are the fire sprinkler and alarm systems. There are
deficiencies with the systems, and depending on what is going on inside and the
desired/planned/engineered (?) use of the building, additional changes may be needed.

Hi Ryan,
Attached is Matthew’s original letter that list the items needed before occupancy. I would recommend a
meeting with Building, Fire and Planning/Zoning for next week to help communicate all of the
requirements for occupancy.
Kelly,

Hi Jarrod,

As far as I know we are in the loop about the reason this was deemed unsafe because we called and
spoke with the city specifically about the signage before we purchased the building. We were told the
only reason the "unsafe to occupy" sign was there was due to the missing stairway up to the second
story.
I'm happy to come in and have a meeting if we need to. And now after reading Lisa's response I
certainly hope the city was accurate when they gave us that information before we bought it. When
would be good to come in?

Ryan,
I spoke with the building department regarding the occupancy for this building. Jarrod
Bordi, explained that the unsafe to occupy signage indicates that the building cannot
be occupied until the investigation and issues have been resolved. He suggested that
you set up a meeting with the building department to discuss the issues and the you
include an architect or engineer in the discussion. The building is also located with he
Warehouse Historic District any exterior modifications such as stairways, signs,
window and door alterations or improvements have to be approved by the Historic
Preservation Commission. Please contact the building department to set up an
appointment to discuss requirements for occupancy. I have included Kelly Wright,
Admin Assistant so that she can set up a meeting.
Regards,
