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,
Can you coordinate a day/time and set this meeting up for next week?
Respectfully,

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,
