East St. Rexburg, Idaho 83440 Dear Mr. Clark, February 9, 1996 Enclosed herewith are evaluations of the Applewood Apartment buildings. There are separate evaluations from: (1) State Electrical Inspector for Electrical Code Items, (2) City Fire Marshall regarding Fire Code Items, and (3) City Building Official for Uniform Building Code Items. These evaluations cover the four main apartment building. These buildings are shown on the enclosed map as Building 1-A, 1-B, & 1-C, Building 2, Building 3, and Building 4 which is the building that just had the fire. The two houses were not inspected or evaluated. It is our understanding that you want to bring these apartment buildings up to the various code standards. As soon as you have had a chance to read this material, we would like to meet with you to learn of your schedule for these improvements. There are a number of safety problems pointed out in these evaluations and we would like to see them eliminated as soon as possible. Very truly yours, Joseph A. Laird, P.E. CITY ENGINEER & BUILDING OFFICIAL STEVE CLARK APARTMENTS 151 SO. 1 ST. EAST ST. BLDG. NO. 1A -- APTS. NUMBERS 101 to 105,201 to 205 & 301 to 305. AT THE JOINT REQUEST OF STEVE CLARK, RICKS COLLEGE AND THE CITY OF REXBURG, THE SUBJECT BUILDING AND APARTMENTS WERE INSPECTED FOR ANY SAFETY VIOLATIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE. THIS INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED ON FEBRUARY 2, 1996. THE FOLLOWING LISTED ITEMS WERE FOUND TO BE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1988, 1991 & 1994 EDITIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE: 1. -- Apartment # -305 - Headroom at stairs near this apartment is too low. Slopes across the the walkway with headrooms of 5'-9" to 6-8". Sec. 3306 (o) states that stairway headroom shall be not lelss than 6-8". 2. -- The tall sets of columns holding up the stairways need at least one set of cross -bracing to give the supporting structure the necessary sway bracing. 3. --The walkway (at point where stairs come up from the lower level) has wooden tie steps. The measured rise and run values do not meet the requirements of Sec. 3306 (c) which states that: A. - The rise of every step in a stairway shall be not less than 4 inches nor greater than 7 inches. The greatest riser height within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8". B. - The run shall be not less than 11 inches. The largest tread run within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch. There is also a large roc k or mound of concrete embedded within the concrete sidewalk at this point that creats a tripping hazard . This rock or mound of concrete needs to be moved out of the way and a level piece of sidewalk installed in it's place 4. -- Storm drainage runoff at this east end of the main driveway is also a continuing problem. The metal plates and channels put across the sidewald are frequently out of their proper position and create a tripping problem for pedestrians using the sidewalk. 5 -- .Storm drainage runoff is also still a problem all along the north side of Buildings IA., 1B and 1-C where the storm drainage runoff from your buildings and property runs across the sidewalk just on the north side of your north fenceline , frequently causing silt deposition problems and/or icing problems in the winter. This storm drainage runoff is also eroding away the topsoil adjacent to your north building foundation footing which could cause settlement problems for this building. 6. -- On the north side of this building, we found that the main electrical line going from the power pole over to the building electrical metering and distribution facilities was just lying on top of the ground with no earth cover over it. It is very lucky that no one has come in contact with it as they could have been electrocuted. 7.-- Number of Stories and Size of Building - Sec. 408 provides a definition for GRADE (Adjacent Ground Level) and Sec. 420 provides a definition for First Story. Considering these definitions, this building does not have a basement. It has a First Floor, a Second Floor and a Third Floor. The area of the First Floor is approximately 4332 sq. ft. The area of the Second Floor is approximately 4897sq. ft. The area of the Third Floor is also approximately 4897 sq. ft. Sec. 1202 (b) states that: Group R, Division 1 Occupancies more than two stories in height or having more than 3000 square feet of floor area above the first story shall be of not less than one-hour fire -resistive construction throughout, except as provided in Section 1705 (b) 2. Sec. 1705 (b) 2 covers interior partitions. As this building is "more than two stories in height', it therefore has to be of one-hour fire - resistive construction throughout. This means that all exterior walls, all interior bearing walls, and all floor/ceiling assemblies within the entire building have to be of one-hour fire - resistive construction standards. This means that both sides of all of these referenced walls and ceilings have to be covered with.at least one 5/8" layer of gypsum wallboard. Sec. 1211 states that: A manual and automatic approved fire alarm system shall be installed in apartment houses that are three or more stories in height or contain more than 15 dwelling units ----in accordance with the Fire Code. Sec. 3802 (h) states that: An automatic sprinkler system shall be installed throughout every apartment house three or more stories in height or containing more than 15 dwelling units, As an alternate to the above, you could choose to construct a retaining wall (located at least 5 ft. away from the building) along the north side of the building and raise the ground level all along this north side to such an elevation that the bottom floor would qualify as a "basement". Under this scenario, the requirement for a fire alarm system and a fire sprinkler system would be eliminated. The Second Floor would still be over 3000 Sq. ft. so you would have to construct an Area Separation Wall at some interior location (say between Apts. 103,203 & 303 and Apts 104,204&304.) See discussion in the following Item # 8 on Area Separation Walls. Also note the following described requirements for one-hour fire walls separating apartment units (Item # 14) and one hour fire walls required along the exterior wall fronting on the three exterior exit balconies(Item # 10). Or, as indicated above, you could add extra gypsum wallboard as required to make the building one-hour fire -resistive throughout Pg. 2. Bldg. 1-A 8. -- Area Separation Walls - There should be a 2 -hour Area Separation Wall on the east end of this building and somewhere near the center of the building. Area Separation Walls are a very critical component of the fire protection system as they separate or divide a large building down into "smaller buildings". They are designed to help prevent the spread of fire from one of these "smaller buildings" to another. In this case, the required 2 -hour Area Separation Wall consists of five parts: A. The 2 -hour area separation wall(ASW) itself, which basically consists of 2 layers of 5/8 inch, type X, gypsum wallboard on each side of the 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 wall framing; B. The walls and eves on either end of the area separation wall (ASW) which have to meet 1 -hr. fire -resistive standards for 5 ft. either side of the area separation wall; C. When the trusses are parallel with the area separation wall(ASW), all roof framing within 5 ft. of the ASW must be encapsulated within a 1 -hr. fire -resistive shield (in this case, possibly, 2 layers of type X gypsum wallboard along the bottom chord of the trusses over to the nearest truss 5 ft. or more from the ASW, and then up, along and covering the entire face of the truss up to the bottom of the roof sheathing); D.There can be no openings in the roof within 5 ft. of the ASW; and E. The entire building is provided with not less than a Class B roofing. The above description basically sets forth what is required in Sec. 505(e) 2 and Sec. 505(e) 3, Exception 2 (1985 UBC) [or Sec 505 (f) 3 and 505 (f) 4, Exception 2, in 1991 UBC]. There are also other possible alternatives set forth in Sec. 505 that could be considered. The ASW at the east end of this building does not meet the requirements of Sec. 505. The west end of Apartments 106 & 206 only have one layer of 1/2" gypsum wallboard, while the east ends of Apartments 105, 205 & 305 have two layers of 5/8" gypsum wallboard. The walls and eves within 5 ft. of the ASW do not meet 1 -hr. fire -resistive standards. The attic truss protection does not meet 1 -hr. fire -resistive standards. We did not check for openings within 5 ft. of the ASW or the type of roofing material that was on the buildings. This ASW does not meet the requirements of Sec. 505 (e) 5 -Buildings of Different Heights in the 1985 UBC [Sec. 505 (f) 6 in the 1991 UBC] either. In accordance with Sec. 505 (e) 5. the 2 hr. ASW must be extended up to a point 30 inches above the lower roof lever, provided the exterior wall for a height of 10 feet above the lower roof is of one-hour fire -resistive construction with openings protected by assemblies having a three -fourths -hour fire -protection rating. The second required Area Separation Wall could be located at any of the 2 hr. fire -resistive walls between the apartments. As indicated above, the rest of the ASW features, i.e. side wall treatment, attic truss treatment, roof type and exclusion of roof openings would all have to be adequately addressed at which ever secondary location is chosen. 9. -- The attic area did have draft stops (two layers of 5/8" thick gypsum wallboard) in line with the walls separating tenant spaces from each other and from other uses " as is required in Sec. 2516 (f) 4 B (ii). (pg. 204 of 1985 UBC) However some of these drafts stops did not go clear Pg. 3_ Bldg. 1-A up to the underside of the roof sheathing as is required in the code. These draft stops need to be extended up to the bottom of the roof sheathing. 10. --That portion of the exterior front building wall adjacent to the 1st floor, 2nd floor and 3rd floor exterior exit balcony and that portion of the roof above these exterior exit balconies were not, but should have been, constructed to one-hour fire -resistive standards. See Sec. 3305 (g) which states that: " Walls of corridors and exterior exit balconies serving a Group It, Division 1 Occupancy having an occupant load of 10 or more --- shall be of not less than one-hour fire - resistive construction and the ceilings shall be not less than that required for a one-hour fire - resistive floor or roof system." 11. -- Sec. 1213 -- Every room containing a boiler, central heating plant or hot-water supply boiler in Division 1 Occupancies shall be separated from the rest of the building by not less than a one-hour fire -resistive occupancy separation. This requirement pertains to both walls and floor/ceilings. Note: This separation requirement does not apply for such rooms with equipment serving only one dwelling unit. 12. -- Throughout the apartment complex, some smoke detectors were battery operated and some were hardwired. Section 1210 (a) 3 states that: "In new construction, required smoke detectors shall receive their primary power from the building wiring when such wiring is served from a commercial source." Therefore, all smoke detectors should have been hard -wired into the building wiring system when they were originally installed. Some smoke detectors were not located in accordance with Sec. 1210 (a) 4. ( Also see Fire Marshal's comments) 13. -- See. 1211. -- Every dwelling unit and guest room shall be provided with heating facilities capable of maintaining a room temperature of 70 degrees F. at a point 3 feet above the floor in all habitable rooms. In these as in many of the other dwelling units, the stove oven and/ or portable electric heaters were being used to increase the temperature in the apartments. This review did not determine if the thermostats were not working properly or if the heating system was not capable of providing the required heat; whatever the reason, the heating facilities need to be repaired or upgraded so they meet the code requirements. 14. -- SEC. 1202 (b) -- "Walls and floors separating dwelling units in the same building shall be of not less than one-hour fire -resistive construction." All walls and ceilings within this building were found to be covered with 1/2" gypsum wallboard.except for the 2hr. Area Separation Walls which had 2 layers of 5/8 " gypsum wallboard on each side of the 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 framing. Pe 4. Bldg. I- One-hour fire -resistive construction usually consists of one layer of 5/8 inch, Type X, gypsum wallboard on each side of the 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 wall framing and 1 layer of 5/8 inch, Type X gypsum wallboard on the bottom of the floor/ceiling assembly. The walls and ceilings throughout the building appear to be of 1/2 inch gypsum wallboard; therefore additional layers of gypsum wallboard are required over the existing "walls and floors separating dwelling units " or "walls and floors separating dwelling units from other uses." (such as furnace rooms ). THE FOLLOWING LISTED ITEMS WERE FOUND TO BE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1991 & 1994 EDITIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE: 15. -- Smoke Detectors. Sec. 1210 (a) 4 (or Sec. 310.9.1.4 in 94 UBC) now states that: " In dwelling units, a detector shall be installed in each sleeping room and at a point centrally located in the corridor or area giving access to each separate sleeping area." 16. -- Guardrail opening dimensions. Sec. 1712 (a) (or Sec. 509.3 in 94 UBC) now states that: " Open guardrails shall have intermediate rails or an ornamental pattern such that a sphere 4 inches in diameter cannot pass through." NOTE: THIS INSPECTION WAS GENERALLY LIMITED TO ITEMS IN PLAIN AND FULL VIEW OF THE INSPECTOR. ATTICS WERE INSPECTED FROM THE ATTIC ACCESS OPENING. GYPSUM WALLBOAD THICKNESSES WERE MEASURED AT ELECTRICAL OUTLET FIXTURES AND LIGHT FIXTURES OR WHERE OPENINGS IN THE EXTERIOR SIDING MADE THE GYPSUM WALLBOAD VISIBLE AND MEASUREABLE. NO ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO ASCERTAIN THE STRUCTURAL SOUNDNESS OF THE BUILDINGS OR RELATED FACILITIES. THIS INSPECTION AND REPORT DO NOT PROFESS TO HAVE COVERED ALL OF THE ITEMS INCLUDED IN THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE. Joseph A. Laird, P.E. CITY ENGINEER & BUILDING OFFICIAL Pg.5, Bldg. 1-A 2-9-96 Date STEVE CLARK APARTMENTS 151 SO. 1ST. EAST ST. BLDG. NO. 1B -- APTS. NUMBERS 106,107, 206, & 207. AT THE JOINT REQUEST OF STEVE CLARK, RICKS COLLEGE AND THE CITY OF REXBURG, THE SUBJECT BUILDING AND APARTMENTS WERE INSPECTED FOR ANY SAFETY VIOLATIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE. THIS INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED ON FEBRUARY 2, 1996. THE FOLLOWING LISTED ITEMS WERE FOUND TO BE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1985, 1988, 1991 & 1994 EDITIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE: 1. -- Apartment # 106 - The landing in front of the main doorway is 4 1/2 inches lower than the sill of the doorway. Sec. 3304 (h) states that: "Regardless of occupant load, there shall be a floor or landing on each side of a door. The floor or landing shall not be more than I inch lower than the threshold of the doorway." The measured length of the landing in the direction of travel (outward from the door to the first step) is 36 inches. Sec. 3304 (i) states that: "Landings shall have a length measured in the direction of travel of not less than 44 inches." The measured stairway headroom is 6'- 8" which is adequate. Measured stairway risers: One riser @ 8 3/4" and three risers @ 7 1/2" each. Measured stairway nms: Two @ 9 5/8" & one @ 9 1/8 ". These measured rise and run values do not meet the requirements of Sec. 3306 (c) which states that: A. - The rise of every step in a stairway shall be not less than 4 inches nor greater than 7 inches. The greatest riser height within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8". B. - The run shall be not less than 11 inches. The largest tread run within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch. 2. -- Apartment # 106 - Bedroom window is 3' 10" x 2' 10" horizontal slider with 30" x 32" = 5.11 sq. ft. of operable area which does not meet net area of 5.7 sq.ft. required by UBC Sec. 1204. 3. -- Apartment # 107 - The landing in front of the main doorway is 4 1/2 inches lower than the sill of the doorway. Sec. 3304 (h) states that: "Regardless of occupant load, there shall be a floor or landing on each side of a door. The floor or landing shall not be more than 1 inch lower than the threshold of the doorway." The measured length of the landing in the direction of travel (outward from the door to the first step) is 27 inches. Sec. 3304 (i) states that: "Landings shall have a length measured in the direction of travel of not less than 44 inches." The measured stairway headroom is 6-2". Required headroom is 6'- 6" in Sec. 3306 (p) of the 1985 UBC. Required headroom is 6'- 8" in 1988, 1991, & 1994 UBC Measured stairway risers: One @ 6 1/2", one @6", one @ 7 1/2 & two @ 8". Measured stairway runs: Two @ 9 3/4", one @ 8 1/2" & one @ 11" These measured rise and run values do not meet the requirements of Sec. 3306 (c) which states that: A. - The rise of every step in a stairway shall be not less than 4 inches nor greater than 7 inches. The greatest riser height within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8". B. - The run shall be not less than 11 inches. The largest tread run within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch. 4.-- Apartment # 206 - Bedroom windows ( 3' 10" x 2' 10" with 30" x 32" = 5.1 lsq. ft. openable area) do not meet the requirements for escape or rescue windows as set forth in UBC Sec. 1204. 5. -- Area Separation Walls - There should be 2 -hour Area Separation Walls on both the east and west ends of this building. Area Separation Walls are a very critical component of the fire protection system as they separate or divide a large building down into "smaller buildings". They are designed to help prevent the spread of fire from one of these "smaller buildings" to another. In this case, the required 2 -hour Area Separation Wall consists of five parts: A. The 2 -hour area separation wall(ASW) itself, which basically consists of 2 layers of 5/8 inch, type X, gypsum wallboard on each side of the 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 wall framing; B. The walls and eves on either end of the area separation wall (ASW) which have to meet 1 -hr. fire -resistive standards for 5 ft. either side of the area separation wall; C. When the trusses are parallel with the area separation wall(ASW), all roof framing within 5 ft. of the ASW must be encapsulated within a 1 -hr. fire -resistive shield (in this case, possibly, 2 layers of type X gypsum wallboard along the bottom chord of the trusses over to the nearest truss 5 ft. or more from the ASW, and then up, along and covering the entire face of the truss up to the bottom of the roof sheathing); D.There can be no openings in the roof within 5 ft. of the ASW; and E. The entire building is provided with not less than a Class B roofing. The above description basically sets forth what is required in Sec.505(e) 2 and Sec. 505(e) 3, Exception 2 (1985 UBC) [or Sec 505 (f) 3 and 505 (f) 4, Exception 2, in 1991 UBC). There are also other possible alternatives set forth in Sec. 505 that could be considered. The ASWs at either end of this building do not meet the requirements of Sec. 505. The east end of Apartments 107 & 207 only have one layer of 1/2" gypsum wallboard, while the west ends of Apartments 108 & 208 have two layers of 5/8" gypsum wallboard. The walls and eves within 5 ft. of the ASW do not meet I -hr. fire -resistive standards. The attic truss protection does not meet I -hr. fire -resistive standards. We did not check for openings within 5 ft. of the ASW or the type of roofing material that was on the buildings. This ASW does not meet the requirements of Sec. 505 (e) 5 -Buildings of Different Heights in the 1985 UBC [Sec. 505 (f) 6 in the 1991 UBC] either. The west end of Apartments 106 & 206 only have one layer of 1/2" gypsum wallboard, while the east ends of Apartments 105, 205 & 305 have two layers of 5/8" gypsum wallboard. The walls and eves within 5 ft. of the ASW do not meet 1 -hr. fire -resistive standards. The attic truss protection does not meet 1 -hr. fire -resistive standards. We did not check for openings within 5 ft. of the ASW or the type of roofing material that was on the buildings. This ASW does not meet the requirements of Sec. 505 (e) 5 -Buildings of Different Heights in the 1985 UBC [Sec. 505 (f) 6 in the 1991 UBC] either. 6. -- The attic area did not have draft stops " in line with the walls separating tenant spaces from each other and from other uses " as is required in Sec. 2516 (f) 4 B (ii). (pg. 204 of 1985 UBC) 7. -- The 2nd story (Apartments 206 & 207) has an occupant load of 12. Sec. 3303 (a), Exception 2 states that: "Two or more dwelling units on the second story may have access to only one common exit when the total occupant load does not exceed 10." The occupant load of 12 for this story is larger than the allowed occupant load of 10. Therefore a second stairway is required from the 2nd story exterior exit balcony. 8. -- Main stairway to 2nd story apartments. Speaking generally regarding all the main stairway units, the tread rise was usually around 7 1/2 inches with the top rise usually being 9 to 10 inches in height. The tread run was found to be usually around 10 to 10 1/2 inches; however some tread runs were as small as 8 3/4 inches. These measured rise and run values do not meet the requirements of Sec. 3306 (c) which states that: A. - The rise of every step in a stairway shall be not less than 4 inches nor greater than 7 inches. The greatest riser height within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch. B. - The run shall be not less than 11 inches. The largest tread run within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch. The interior edge of the stairway runner is approximately 8 inches from the side of the building. This leaves a potentially dangerous gap between stair and building where someone could fall and be injured. A guardrail is required along this interior edge of the stairway to bring it into conformance with Sec. 1711. The wire mesh stairway treads seem to be breaking loose from the perimeter bracing and need to be rewelded, replaced or repaired in some other manner so that they are safe and capable of carrying the required load set forth in Table 16A of the UBC , namely that: "Individual stair treads shall be designed to support a 300 pound concentrated load placed in a position which would cause maximim stress." Maintenance needs to be accomplished as is required in Sec. 104 (d). 9. -- That portion of the exterior building wall adjacent to the 2nd floor exterior exit balcony and that portion of the roof above the exterior exit balcony were not, but should have been, constructed to one-hour fire -resistive standards. See Sec. 3305 (g) which states that: " Walls of corridors and exterior exit balconies serving a Group R, Division 1 Occupancy having an occupant load of 10 or more --- shall be of not less than one-hour fire -resistive construction and the ceilings shall be not less than that required for a one-hour fire -resistive floor or roof system." 10. -- Sec. 1213 -- Every room containing a boiler, central heating plant or hot-water supply boiler in Division 1 Occupancies shall be separated from the rest of the building by not less than a one-hour fire -resistive occupancy separation. This requirement pertains to both walls and floor/ceilings. 11. -- Throughout the apartment complex, some smoke detectors were battery operated and some were hardwired. Section 1210 (a) 3 states that: "In new construction, required smoke detectors shall receive their primary power from the building wiring when such wiring is served from a commercial source." Therefore, all smoke detectors should have been hard -wired into the building wiring system when they were originally installed. . Some smoke detectors were not located in accordance with Sec. 1210 (a) 4. ( Also see Fire Marshal's comments) 12. -- Sec. 1211. -- Every dwelling unit and guest room shall be provided with heating facilities capable of maintaining a room temperature of 70 degrees F. at a point 3 feet above the floor in all habitable rooms. In these as in many of the other dwelling units, the stove oven and/ or portable electric heaters were being used to increase the temperature in the apartments. This review did not determine if the thermostats were not working properly or if the heating system was not capable of providing the required heat; whatever the reason, the heating facilities need to be repaired or upgraded so they meet the code requirements. THE FOLLOWING LISTED ITEMS WERE FOUND TO BE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1988, 1991 & 1994 EDITIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE. 13. -- SEC. 1202 (b) -- "Walls and floors separating dwelling units in the same building shall be of not less than one-hour fire -resistive construction." One-hour fire -resistive construction usually consists of one layer of 5/8 inch, Type X, gypsum wallboard on each side of the 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 wall framing and 1 layer of 5/8 inch, Type X gypsum wallboard on the bottom of the floor/ceiling assembly. The walls and ceilings throughout the building appear to be of 1/2 inch gypsum wallboard; therefore additional layers of gypsum ' . : fflm wallboard are required over the existing "walls and floors separating dwelling units " or "walls and floors separating dwelling units from other uses." (such as furnace rooms or storage rooms as was required in the 1985 UBC.) All walls and ceilings within this building were found to be covered with 1/2" gypsum wallboard. THE FOLLOWING LISTED ITEMS WERE FOUND TO BE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1991 & 1994 EDITIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE: 14. -- Smoke Detectors. Sec. 1210 (a) 4 (or Sec. 310.9.1.4 in 94 UBC) now states that: " In dwelling units, a detector shall be installed in each sleeping room and at a point centrally located in the corridor or area giving access to each separate sleeping area." 15. -- Guardrail opening dimensions. Sec. 1712 (a) (or Sec. 509.3 in 94 UBC) now states that: " Open guardrails shall have intermediate rails or an ornamental pattern such that a sphere 4 inches in diameter cannot pass through." NOTE: THIS INSPECTION WAS GENERALLY LIMITED TO ITEMS IN PLAIN AND FULL VIEW OF THE INSPECTOR. ATTICS WERE INSPECTED FROM THE ATTIC ACCESS OPENING. GYPSUM WALLBOAD THICKNESSES WERE MEASURED AT ELECTRICAL OUTLET FIXTURES AND LIGHT FIXTURES OR WHERE OPENINGS IN THE EXTERIOR SIDING MADE THE GYPSUM WALLBOAD VISIBLE AND MEASUREABLE. NO ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO ASCERTAIN THE STRUCTURAL SOUNDNESS OF THE BUILDINGS OR RELATED FACILITIES. THIS INSPECTION AND REPORT DO NOT PROFESS TO HAVE COVERED ALL OF THE ITEMS INCLUDED IN THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE. Joseph A. Laird, P.E. CITY ENGINEER & BUILDING OFFICIAL 2-9-96 Date. Pg. 5, Bldg. 1-B STEVE CLARK APARTMENTS 151 SO. 1ST. EAST ST. BLDG. NO. 1C — APTS. NUMBERS 108, 109, 208, & 209. AT THE JOINT REQUEST OF STEVE CLARK, RICKS COLLEGE AND THE CITY OF REXBURG, THE SUBJECT BUILDING AND APARTMENTS WERE INSPECTED FOR ANY SAFETY VIOLATIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE. THIS INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED ON FEBRUARY 2, 1996. THE FOLLOWING LISTED ITEMS WERE FOUND TO BE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1985, 1988, 1991 & 1994 EDITIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE: 1. -- Apartment # 109 - The landing in front of the main doorway is 4 1/2 inches lower than the sill of the doorway. Sec. 3304 (h) states that: "Regardless of occupant load, there shall be a floor or landing on each side of a door. The floor or landing shall not be more than 1 inch lower than the threshold of the doorway." The measured length of the landing in the direction of travel (outward from the door to the first step) is 24 1/2 inches. Sec. 3304 (i) states that: "Landings shall have a length measured in the direction of travel of not less than 44 inches." The measured stairway headroom is 6-2 1/2". Required headroom is 6- 6" in Sec. 3306 (p) of the 1985 UBC. Required headroom is 6'- 8" in 1988, 1991, & 1994 UBC Measured stairway risers: Top riser @ 5 1/2" and other risers @ 6 1/2" each. Measured stairway runs: Two @ 10 1/2", one @ 12" & one @ 10" These measured rise and run values do not meet the requirements of Sec. 3306 (c) which states that: A - The rise of every step in a stairway shall be not less than 4 inches nor greater than 7 inches. The greatest riser height within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8". B. - The run shall be not less than 11 inches. The largest tread run within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch. 2. — Apartment # 109 - Bedroom windows are 5'8" x TV horizontal slider = 6.25 sq. ft. of openable area, which meet code requirements for area, width and height. However the bottom of the sill is 50 " above the floor which is more than the 44" maximum floor- to- sill height allowed by UBC Sec. 1204. 3. — Apartment # 108 - The landing in front of the main doorway is 6 1/2 inches lower than the sill of the doorway. Sec. 3304 (h) states that: "Regardless of occupant load, there shall be a floor or landing on each side of a door. The floor or landing shall not be more than 1 inch lower than the threshold of the doorway." The measured length of the landing in the direction of travel (outward from the door to the first step) is 32 inches. Sec. 3304 (i) states that: "Landings shall have a length measured in the direction of travel of not less than 44 inches." The measured stairway headroom is 6'-1 1/2". Required headroom is 6'- 6" in Sec. 3306 (p) of the 1985 UBC. Required headroom is 6'- 8" in 1988, 1991, & 1994 UBC Measured stairway risers: 2 risers @ 6 1/2" each and 2 risers @ 7 1/2' each. Measured stairway runs: One @ 9", one @ 10" & one @ 11" These measured rise and run values do not meet the requirements of Sec. 3306 (c) which states that: A. - The rise of every step in a stairway shall be not less than 4 inches nor greater than 7 inches. The greatest riser height within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8". B. - The run shall be not less than 11 inches. The largest tread run within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch. 4.-- Apartment # 108 - Interior stairs between living room and bedrooms. Stairs going up to one bedroom are 34 to 36 inches in width with T-10" of headroom at the top of the stairs. Stairs going down to two bedrooms are 32 "wide and have headrooms of 5'-8" and 6-1". There is no guardrail separating the upper stairs from the lower stairs. Required headroom is 6- 6" in Sec. 3306 (p) of the 1985 UBC. Required headroom is 6'- 8" in 1988, 1991, & 1994 UBC. Required stairway width is T- 0" as set forth in Sec. 3306 (b) . Sec. 1711 requires a guardrail along stairs whenever there is more than a 30 inch difference in elevation between two different levels. 5.— Apartment # 208 - Bedroom windows ( 28" x 19" = 3.69 sq. ft. openable area) do not meet the requirements for escape or rescue windows as set forth in UBC Sec. 1204. 6.-- Apartment # 208 - Interior stairs between living room and bedrooms. Stairs go up to two bedrooms and down to one bedroom. Stairs are 34 " wide and have headrooms of 6-0" and 6-8". There is no guardrail separating the upper stairs from the lower stairs. Required headroom is 6- 6" in Sec. 3306 (p) of the 1985 UBC. Required headroom is 6'- 8" in 1988, 1991, & 1994 UBC. Required stairway width is Y- 0" as set forth in Sec. 3306 (b) . Sec. 1711 requires a guardrail along stairs whenever there is more than a 30 inch difference in elevation between two different levels. 7. -- Apartment # 209 - Bedroom windows (22" x 30" = 4.58 sq.ft. openable area) do not meet the requirements for escape or'rescue windows as set forth in UBC Sec. 1204. 8. — Apartment # 209 - Kitchen smoke detector not working. 9. -- Area Separation Walls - There should be a 2 -hour Area Separation Walls on the west end of this building. Area Separation Walls are a very critical component of the fire protection system as they separate or divide a large building down into "smaller buildings". They are designed to help prevent the spread of fire from one of these "smaller buildings" to another. In this case, the required 2 -hour Area Separation Wall consists of five parts: A. The 2 -hour area separation wall(ASW) itself, which basically consists of 2 layers of 5/8 inch, type X, gypsum wallboard on each side of the 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 wall framing; B. The walls and eves on either end of the area separation wall (ASW) which have to meet 1 -hr. fire -resistive standards for 5 ft. either side of the area separation wall; C. When the trusses are parallel with the area separation wall(ASW), all roof framing within 5 ft. of the ASW must be encapsulated within a 1 -hr. fire -resistive shield (in this case, possibly, 2 layers of type X gypsum wallboard along the bottom chord of the trusses over to the nearest truss 5 ft. or more from the ASW, and then up, along and covering the entire face of the truss up to the bottom of the roof sheathing); D.There can be no openings in the roof within 5 ft. of the ASW; and E. The entire building is provided with not less than a Class B roofing. The above description basically sets forth what is required in Sec.505(e) 2 and Sec. 505(e) 3, Exception 2 (1985 UBC) [or Sec 505 (f) 3 and 505 (0 4, Exception 2, in 1991 UBC]. There are also other possible alternatives set forth in Sec. 505 that could be considered. The ASW at the west end of this building does not meet the requirements of Sec. 505. The east end of Apartments 107 & 207 only have one layer of 1/2" gypsum wallboard, while the west ends of Apartments 108 & 208 have two layers of 5/8" gypsum wallboard. The walls and eves within 5 ft. of the ASW do not meet I -hr. fire -resistive standards. The attic truss protection does not meet 1 -hr. fire -resistive standards. We did not check for openings within 5 ft. of the ASW or the type of roofing material that was on the buildings. This ASW does not meet the requirements of Sec. 505 (e) 5 -Buildings of Different Heights in the 1985 UBC [Sec. 505 (f) 6 in the 1991 UBC] either. 10. -- The attic area did not have draft stops " in line with the walls separating tenant spaces from each other and from other uses "as is required in Sec. 2516 (f) 4 B (ii). (pg. 204 of 1985 UBC) 11. — The 2nd story (Apartments 208 & 209) has an occupant load of 12. Sec. 3303 (a), Exception 2 states that: "Two or more dwelling units on the second story may have access to only one common exit when the total occupant load does not exceed 10." The occupant load of 12 for this story is larger than the allowed occupant load of 10. Therefore a second stairway is required from the 2nd story exterior exit balcony. 12. -- Main stairway to 2nd story apartments. Speaking generally regarding all the main stairway units, the tread rise was usually around 7 1/2 inches with the top rise usually being 9 to 10 inches in height. The tread run was found to be usually around 10 to 10 1/2 inches; however some tread runs were as small as 8 3/4 inches. These measured rise and run values do not meet the requirements of Sec. 3306 (c) which states that: A. - The rise of every step in a stairway shall be not less than 4 inches nor greater than 7 inches. The greatest riser height within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch. B. - The run shall be not less than 11 inches. The largest tread run within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch. The interior edge of the stairway runner is approximately 7 1/2 inches from the side of the building. This leaves a potentially dangerous gap between stair and building where someone could fall and be injured. A guardrail is required along this interior edge of the stairway to bring it into conformance with Sec. 1711. The wire mesh stairway treads seem to be breaking loose from the perimeter bracing and need to be rewelded, replaced or repaired in some other manner so that they are safe and capable of carrying the required load set forth in Table 16A of the UBC , namely that: "Individual stair treads shall be designed to support a 300 pound concentrated load placed in a position which would cause maximim stress." Maintenance needs to be accomplished as is required in Sec. 104 (d). 13. -- That portion of the exterior building wall adjacent to the 2nd floor exterior exit balcony and that portion of the roof above the exterior exit balcony were not, but should have been, constructed to one-hour fire -resistive standards. See Sec. 3305 (g) which states that: " Walls of corridors and exterior exit balconies serving a Group R, Division 1 Occupancy having an occupant load of 10 or more --- shall be of not less than one-hour fire -resistive construction and the ceilings shall be not less than that required for a one-hour fire -resistive floor or roof system." 14. -- Sec. 1213 — Every room containing a boiler, central heating plant or hot-water supply boiler in Division 1 Occupancies shall be separated from the rest of the building by not less than a one-hour fire -resistive occupancy separation. This requirement pertains to both walls and floor/ceilings. 15. -- Throughout the apartment complex, some smoke detectors were battery operated and some were hardwired. Section 1210 (a) 3 states that: "In new construction, required smoke detectors shall receive their primary power from the building wiring when such wiring is served from a commercial source." Therefore, all smoke detectors should have been hard -wired into the building wiring system when they were originally installed. Some smoke detectors were not located in accordance with Sec. 1210 (a) 4. ( Also see Fire Marshal's comments) 16. -- Sec. 1211. -- Every dwelling unit and guest room shall be provided with heating facilities capable of maintaining a room temperature of 70 degrees F. at a point 3 feet above the floor in all habitable rooms. In these as in many of the other dwelling units, the stove oven and/ or portable electric heaters were being used to increase the temperature in the apartments. This review did not determine if the thermostats were not working properly or if the heating system was not capable of providing the required heat; whatever the reason, the heating facilities need to be repaired or upgraded so they meet the code requirements. THE FOLLOWING LISTED ITEMS WERE FOUND TO BE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1988, 1991 & 1994 EDITIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE. 17. -- SEC. 1202 (b) -- "Walls and floors separating dwelling units in the same building shall be of not less than one-hour fire -resistive construction." One-hour fire -resistive construction usually consists of one layer of 5/8 inch, Type X, gypsum wallboard on each side of the 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 wall framing and 1 layer of 5/8 inch, Type X gypsum wallboard on the bottom of the floor/ceiling assembly. The walls and ceilings throughout the building appear to be of 1/2 inch gypsum wallboard; therefore additional layers of gypsum wallboard are required over the existing "walls and floors separating dwelling units " or "walls and floors separating dwelling units from other uses." (such as furnace rooms or storage rooms as was required in the 1985 UBC.) Apartment # 208 had 5/8" gypsum wallboad on the east apartment wall and 1/2" gypsum wallboard on the ceiling. The west wall of Apartments 108 and 208 had 2 layers of 5/8" gypsum wallboad . The rest of the gypsum wall boards in the apartments were 1/2" thick. THE FOLLOWING LISTED ITEMS WERE FOUND TO BE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1991 & 1994 EDITIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE: 18. -- Smoke Detectors. Sec. 1210 (a) 4 (or Sec. 310.9.1.4 in 94 UBC) now states that: " In dwelling units, a detector shall be installed in each sleeping room and at a point centrally located in the corridor or area giving access to each separate sleeping area." 19. -- Guardrail opening dimensions. Sec. 1712 (a) (or Sec. 509.3 in 94 UBC) now states that: " Open guardrails shall have intermediate rails or an ornamental pattern such that a sphere 4 inches in diameter cannot pass through." NOTE: THIS INSPECTION WAS GENERALLY LIMITED TO ITEMS IN PLAIN AND FULL VIEW OF THE INSPECTOR. ATTICS WERE INSPECTED FROM THE ATTIC ACCESS OPENING. GYPSUM WALLBOAD THICKNESSES WERE MEASURED AT ELECTRICAL OUTLET FIXTURES AND LIGHT FIXTURES OR WHERE OPENINGS IN THE EXTERIOR SIDING MADE THE GYPSUM WALLBOAD VISIBLE AND MEASUREABLE. NO ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO ASCERTAIN THE STRUCTURAL SOUNDNESS OF THE BUILDINGS OR RELATED FACILITIES.

Measured stairway head room is 5' 10" at 1st floor entryway to winding stairway. Measured stairway headroom at top of stairway is 6' 1". Required headroom is 66" in Sec 3306 (p) of the 1985 UBC. Required headroom is 68" in 1988, 1991, & 1994 UBC. Measured width of stairway is 2' - 4 1/2" at 1 st floor entryway to winding stairway. Required stairway width is 3'- 0" as set forth in Sec. 3306 (b) . Measured rise = 7 1/2 inch and run = 8 1/2 inch. Required rise = 8 -inch maximum and run =9 - inch minimum in Sec. 3306 (c), Exception 1. Measurements were not made to determine whether or not the stairs met the requirements of Sec 3306 (d) Winding Stairways or Section 3306 (f) Spiral Stairways. 5. — The attic area did not have draft stops " in line with the walls separating tenant spaces from each other and from other uses "as is required in Sec. 2516 (f) 4 B (ii). (pg. 204 of 1985 UBC) 6. — The 2nd story (Apartments 210 & 211) has an occupant load of 12. Sec. 3303 (a), Exception 2 states that: "Two or more dwelling units on the second story may have access to only one common exit when the total occupant load does not exceed 10." The occupant load of 12 for this story is larger than the allowed occupant load of 10.

AT THE JOINT REQUEST OF STEVE CLARK, RICKS COLLEGE AND THE CITY OF REXBURG, THE SUBJECT BUILDING AND APARTMENTS WERE INSPECTED FOR ANY SAFETY VIOLATIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE. THIS INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED ON FEBRUARY 2, 1996. THE FOLLOWING LISTED ITEMS WERE FOUND TO BE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1985, 1988, 1991 & 1994 EDITIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE: 1. -- Apartment # 213 - Bedroom windows ( 4'0" x 1'8") do not meet the requirements for escape or rescue windows as set forth in UBC Sec. 1204. The covered walkway area south of Apartment # 213 must be kept free of stored couches, beds, refrigerators, etc. as this area serves as the escape route from the bedroom escape -rescue windows. If the east end of the area is going to be used for enclosed storage, it's walls and ceiling will have to have a 1 -hour fire -resistive rating as set forth in Table 5A and Sec. 310.2.2 of the 1994 UBC. 2. -- The attic area did not have draft stops " in line with the walls separating tenant spaces from each other and from other uses "( such as storage room from dwelling units) as is required in Sec. 2516 (f) 4 B (ii). (pg. 204 of 1985 UBC) An attic access opening will need to be added above Apt. 212 after the attic draft stops are in place. Minimum opening size is 22 inches by 30 inches. [See Sec. 3205 (a)] Additional roof vents may be needed after the attic area is compartmentalized by the required draft stops. 3. -- The 2nd story (Apartments 212 & 213) has an occupant load of 12. Sec. 3303 (a), Exception 2 states that: "Two or more dwelling units on the second story may have access to only one common exit when the total occupant load does not exceed 10." The occupant load of 12 for this story is larger than the allowed occupant load of 10. Therefore a second stairway is required from the 2nd story exterior exit balcony. 4. -- Main stairway to 2nd story apartments. Speaking generally regarding all the main stairway units, the tread rise was usually around 7 I/2 inches with the top rise usually being 9 to 10 inches in height. The tread run was found to be usually around 10 to 10 1/2 inches; however some tread runs were as small as 8 3/4 inches. These measured rise and run values do not meet the requirements of Sec. 3306 (c) which states that: A. - The rise of every step in a stairway shall be not less than 4 inches nor greater than 7 inches. The greatest riser height within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch. B. - The run shall be not less than 11 inches. The largest tread run within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch.

See Sec. 3305 (g) which states that: " Walls of corridors and exterior exit balconies serving a Group R, Division 1 Occupancy having an occupant load of 10 or more --- shall be of not less than one-hour fire -resistive construction and the ceilings shall be not less than that required for a one-hour fire -resistive floor or roof system." 6. -- The double 2 x 6 beam supporting the exterior exit balcony showed excessive deflection and should be checked to see if it needs to have stronger beam members or more closely spaced support columns. 7. -- The 2nd story storage room does not have the required 1 -hour fire -resistive walls. (See Sec. 1202(b) which states that: " Storage and laundry rooms--- shall be separated from the rest of the building by not less than one-hour fire -resistive occupancy separations. " This requirement pertains to both walls and floor/ceilings.) There was no fire -blocking at the rafter tie-in between the storage room and the adjacent apartment unit. The exhaust vent going from the heating unit through the floor and ceiling did not have the required 1" clearance between it and the adjacent floor and ceiling materials. 8. -- The 1 st story furnace room/storage room does not have the required 1 -hour fire -resistive walls and floor/ceiling above it. (See Sec. 1213 -- Every room containing a boiler, central heating plant or hot-water supply boiler in Division I Occupancies shall be separated from the rest of the building by not less than a one-hour fire -resistive occupancy separation. This requirement pertains to both walls and floor/ceilings.) There were some open drain lines that needed to be plugged -off. 9. -- Throughout the apartment complex, some smoke detectors were battery operated and some were hardwired. Section 1210 (a) 3 states that: "In new construction, required smoke detectors shall receive their primary power from the building wiring when such wiring is served from a commercial source." Therefore, all smoke detectors should have been hard -wired into the building wiring system when they were originally installed. Some smoke detectors were not located in accordance with Sec. 1210 (a) 4. ( Also see Fire Marshal's comments) 10. -- Sec. 1211. -- Every dwelling unit and guest room shall be provided with heating facilities capable of maintaining a room temperature of 70 degrees F. at a point 3 feet above the floor in all habitable rooms. The thermometer in one of these dwellings indicated a room temperature of 60 degrees F. In these as in many of the other dwelling units, the stove oven and/ or portable electric heaters were being used to increase the temperature in the apartments. This review did not determine if the thermostats were not working properly or if the heating system was not capable of providing the required heat; whatever the reason, the heating facilities need to be repaired or upgraded so they meet the code requirements. THE FOLLOWING LISTED ITEMS WERE FOUND TO BE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1988, 1991 & 1994 EDITIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE. 11. -- SEC. 1202 (b) -- "Walls and floors separating dwelling units in the same building shall be of not less than one-hour fire -resistive construction." One-hour fire -resistive construction usually consists of one layer of 5/8 inch, Type X, gypsum wallboard on each side of the 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 wall framing and 1 layer of 5/8 inch, Type X gypsum wallboard on the bottom of the floor/ceiling assembly. The walls and ceilings throughout the building appear to be of 1/2 inch gypsum wallboard; therefore additional layers of gypsum wallboard are required over the existing "walls and floors separating dwelling units " or "walls and floors separating dwelling units from other uses." (such as furnace rooms or storage rooms as was required in the 1985 UBC.) THE FOLLOWING LISTED ITEMS WERE FOUND TO BE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1991 & 1994 EDITIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE: 12. -- Smoke Detectors. Sec. 1210 (a) 4 (or Sec. 310.9.1.4 in 94 UBC) now states that: " In dwelling units, a detector shall be installed in each sleeping room and at a point centrally located in the corridor or area giving access to each separate sleeping area." 13. -- Guardrail opening dimensions. Sec. 1712 (a) (or Sec. 509.3 in 94 UBC) now states that: " Open guardrails shall have intermediate rails or an ornamental pattern such that a sphere 4 inches in diameter cannot pass through." GENERAL SAFETY ITEMS: 14. -- The steeply sloped concrete area immediately north of the sidewalk near the stair landing is very steep and poses a dangerous slipping problem during icy weather. NOTE: THIS INSPECTION WAS GENERALLY LIMITED TO ITEMS IN PLAIN AND FULL VIEW OF THE INSPECTOR. ATTICS WERE INSPECTED FROM THE ATTIC ACCESS OPENING. GYPSUM WALLBOAD THICKNESSES WERE MEASURED AT ELECTRICAL OUTLET FIXTURES AND LIGHT FIXTURES OR WHERE OPENINGS IN THE EXTERIOR SIDING MADE THE GYPSUM WALLBOAD VISIBLE AND MEASUREABLE. NO ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO ASCERTAIN THE STRUCTURAL SOUNDNESS OF THE BUILDINGS OR RELATED FACILITIES. THIS INSPECTION AND REPORT DO NOT PROFESS TO HAVE COVERED ALL OF THE ITEMS INCLUDED IN THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE. Date: 2-9-96 Joseph A. Laird, P.E. CITY ENGINEER & BUILDING OFFICIAL STEVE CLARK APARTMENTS 151 SO. 1 ST. EAST ST. BLDG. NO. 4 — APTS. NUMBERS 115, 116, 214, & 215. AT THE JOINT REQUEST OF STEVE CLARK, RICKS COLLEGE AND THE CITY OF REXBURG, THE SUBJECT BUILDING AND APARTMENTS WERE INSPECTED FOR ANY SAFETY VIOLATIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE. THIS INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED ON FEBRUARY 2, 1996. THE FOLLOWING LISTED ITEMS WERE FOUND TO BE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1985, 1988, 1991 & 1994 EDITIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE: 1. -- Stairways to laundry room and lounge/TV room do not meet code requirements. Headroom is as low as 5'-8". Stair tread rise of 9". Stair tread run too narrow. Sec. 3304 (h) required that: "Regardless of occupant load, there shall be a floor or landing on each side of a door. The floor or landing shall not be more than 1 inch lower than the threshold of the doorway." Therefore the doorway/stair arrangement will need to be greatly revised to meet the requirements for a landing on both sides of the doorway, for stairway width, stairway headroom and stairway tread rise and run. Sec. 3306 (b) requires a stairway width of not less than 36 inches. See Sec. 3306 (c) for stairway tread rise and run dimensions. See Sec. 3306 (o) for stairway headroom. See Sec. 3304 (i) for floor level at doors. See Sec. 3304 0) for required landing width and length. Landing length measured in the direction of travel shall not be less than 44 inches. 2. -- The laundry room and the lounge/TV room are both Group B, Division 2 type occupancies. With a 9 ft. distance to property line on the south and a 10 ft. distance to the existing building on the east, both the south and east exterior walls of these rooms have to have a 1 hr. fire -resistive rating. The lounge/TV room had 5/8 " gypsum wallboard on the walls and 1/2" gypsum wallboard on the ceiling. 5/8" gypsum wallboard will have to be installed on the dwelling unit side of the wall to give this wall the required Mr. fire -resistive rating. Where the existing 1/2" gypsum wallboard is still useable, it can be covered by a second layer of 1/2" gypsum wallboard, type X, to provide the equvalent 5/8" thickness necessary for the required 1 hr. fire rating. The laundry room had 5/8" gypsum wallboad on the south, west and north walls and the ceiling. Gypsum wallboard thickness was not measured on the east side. The exterior side of the south wall had 5/8" gypsum wallboard covered with 1/2" wood siding. The dwelling unit side of the common wall will also have to be covered with 5/8" gypsum wallboard, type X, to provide the required Mr. fire rating. There was no indication on the existing doors and windows that they were fire -rated facilities. Any openings within the south and east walls have to have a three-fourths hour fire -protection rating. Therefore the doors on the east side (referenced above in No. 1) will have to have a 3/4 hr. fire protection rating. The windows on the south will also have to have a 3/4 hr. fire - protection rating. (See Table 5A of UBC for wall and window protection requirements). See Sec. 4304 (e) "Penetrations" for pipes penetrating the exterior wall and the firestopping required around such pipe penetrations. 3. -- This building was damaged so extensively by the fire that it will need to be reconstructed so it meets the 94 UBC requirements. Plans will need to be submitted showing how this work will be accomplished. The following referenced items identify some of the corrections that will need to be addressed. 4. -- The attic area does not have draft stops " in line with the walls separating tenant spaces from each other and from other uses "(i.e. draft stops required above the common wall ling between the lounge/TV room and the adjacent dwelling unit). See Sec. 2516 (f) 4 B (ii), pg. 204 of 1985 UBC and Sec. 708.3.1.2.1 of the 1994 UBC. Attic access openings will need to be added above the apartments and lounge/TV room after the attic draft stops are installed. Minimum opening size is 22inches by 30 inches. (See Sec. 1505.1of 1994 UBC) Additional roof vents may be needed after the attic area is compartmentalized by the required draft stops. 5. -- The 2nd story (Apartments 214 & 215) has an occupant load of 12. Sec. 3303 (a), Exception 2 states that: "Two or more dwelling units on the second story may have access to only one common exit when the total occupant load does not exceed 10." The occupant load of 12 for this story is larger than the allowed occupant load of 10. Therefore a second stairway is required from the 2nd story exterior exit balcony. (See Sec. 1003.1, Exception 2, pg 174 in 1994 UBC) 6. -- Main stairway to 2nd story apartments. Speaking generally regarding all the main stairway units, the tread rise was usually around 7 1/2 inches with the top rise usually being 9 to 10 inches in height. The tread run was found to be usually around 10 to 10 1/2 inches; however some tread runs were as small as 8 3/4 inches. These measured rise and run values do not meet the requirements of Sec. 3306 (c) which states that: A. - The rise of every step in a stairway shall be not less than 4 inches nor greater than 7 inches. The greatest riser height within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch. B. - The run shall be not less than 11 inches. The largest tread run within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch. The interior edge of the stairway runner is approximately 2 inches from the side of the building Pe. 2_ Bldg.# 4. This is probably not a large enough opening to require a guardrail, but it should be covered or closed up in some manner so it is not a hazard of any sort. The wire mesh stairway treads seem to be breaking loose from the perimeter bracing and need to be rewelded, replaced or repaired in some other manner so that they are safe and capable of carrying the required load set forth in Table 16A of the UBC , namely that: "Individual stair treads shall be designed to support a 300 pound concentrated load placed in a position which would cause maximim stress." Maintenance needs to be accomplished as is required in Sec. 104 (d). 7. -- That portion of the exterior building wall adjacent to the 2nd floor exterior exit balcony and that portion of the roof above the exterior exit balcony were not, but should have been, constructed to one-hour fire -resistive standards. See Sec. 3305 (g) which states that: " Walls of corridors and exterior exit balconies serving a Group R, Division 1 Occupancy having an occupant load of 10 or more --- shall be of not less than one-hour fire -resistive construction and the ceilings shall be not less than that required for a one-hour fire -resistive floor or roof system." (See Sec. 1005.7 - "Construction" in the 1994 UBC) 8. -- Sec. 1202(b) -- Storage and laundry rooms--- shall be separated from the rest of the building by not less than one-hour fire -resistive occupancy separations. This requirement pertains to both walls and floor/ceilings. (See -Sec. 310.2.2 in 1994 UBC) 9. -- Sec. 1213 -- Every room containing a boiler, central heating plant or hot-water supply boiler in Division 1 Occupancies shall be separated from the rest of the building by not less than a one- hour fire -resistive occupancy separation. This requirement pertains to both walls and floor/ceilings. (See Sec. 302.5 in 1994 UBC) 10. -- Throughout the apartment complex, some smoke detectors were battery operated and some were hardwired. Section 1210 (a) 3 states that: "In new construction, required smoke detectors shall receive their primary power from the building wiring when such wiring is served from a commercial source." Therefore, all smoke detectors should have been hard -wired into the building wiring system when they were originally installed. Some smoke detectors were not located in accordance with Sec. 1210 (a) 4. ( Also see Fire Marshal's comments) 11. -- Sec. 1211. -- Every dwelling unit and guest room shall be provided with heating facilities capable of maintaining a room temperature of 70 degrees F. at a point 3 feet above the floor in all habitable rooms. (See Sec. 3 10. 11 - "Heating" in the 1994 UBC) In many of the other dwelling units, the stove oven and/ or portable electric heaters were being used to increase the temperature in the apartments. This review did not determine if the thermostats were not working properly or if the heating system was not capable of providing the required heat; whatever the reason, the heating facilities need to be repaired or upgraded so they meet the code requirements. 12. -- The ground area between the south side of the building and the adjacent property to the south is being eroded away by storm drainage runoff. This erosion is undermining the building footing and needs to be corrected. Storm drainage cannot go onto the neighbor's property without his consent. THE FOLLOWING LISTED ITEMS WERE FOUND TO BE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1988, 1991 & 1994 EDITIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE. 13. -- SEC. 1202 (b) -- "Walls and floors separating dwelling units in the same building shall be of not less than one-hour fire -resistive construction."

Box 280 26 North Center Rexburg, Idaho 83440 (208) 359-3010 Fire Extinguishers Inspection and Maintenance Fire extinguishers require an inspection every 30 days. If circumstances require it may need to be more frequent. Inspection shall include at least the following items: (a) Located in designated place. (b) No obstruction to access or visibility. (c) Operating instructions on nameplate legible and facing outward. (d) Seals and tamper indicators not broken or missing. (e) Determine fullness by weighing or "hefting." (f) Examine for obvious physical damage, corrosion, leakage, or clogged nozzle. (g) Pressure gage reading or indicator in the operable range or position. Any problems need to be corrected immediately or a replacement extinguisher provided until it can be. F:_re extinguishers require maintenance not more than one year apart. Maintenance shall include a through examination of the three basic elements of an extinguisher: (a) Mechanical parts, (b) extinguishing agent, and (c) expelling means. Stored pressure extinguishers require a hydrostatic test every 12 years and need to be emptied, every six years and subjected to maintenance procedures. The owner could preform the inspection procedure with proper training. I would recommend that you have an outside source preform the maintenance of your extinguishers. REXBU^-.0 MADT.SON COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT P.O. Box 280 26 North Center Rexburg, Idaho 83440 (208) 359-3010 Smoke Detectors and Locations Smoke detectors shall be installed in accordance with the approved manufacture's instructions. The 1994 UBC states in Sec. 310.9.1.4 Location within dwelling Un4 ..5. In dwelling units, a detector shall be installed in each sleeping room and at a point centrally located in the corridor or area giving access to each separate sleeping area. When the dwelling unit :as more that, one story and in the dwellings with basements, a detector shall be installed on each story and in the basec.ea.. iL dwel'-_ng where a story or basement is split into two or more levels, the smoke detector shall be installed on the _upper level except that when the lower level contains the sleeping area, a detector shall be installed on each level. When sleeping rooms are on an upper level, the detector shall be placed at the ceiling of the upper level in close proximity to the stairway. In dwelling units where the ceiling height of a room open to the hallway serving the bedrooms exceeds that of the hallway by 24 inches or ;;ore, smoke detectors shall be installed in the hallway and in the adjacent room. Detectors shall sound an alarm audible in all sleeping areas of the dwelling unit in which they are located. Some of your smoke detectors are ver;' poorly located. I would recommend that you relocate them using the UBC section to provide better warning. Avoid the dead air spaces that we discussed (six inches down or out). The smoke detectors need to be tested at least monthly. You should use a test smoke and not just the test button. Batteries need to be replaced yearly. I realize that the smoke detectors were not required in the sleeping rooms at the time of construction but would recommend that you install the; if possible. FEFJ-06-'96 TUE 14:50 ID: PHILIP E.

BOX 280 12 NORTH CENTER STREET REXBURG. IDAHO 83440 PHONE (208) 359-3020 FAX (208) 359-3022 As a result of the recent visit by the U.B.C. Appeals Board to your property known as Applewood Apartments, the City of Rexburg has been made aware of possible problems in your structures that go beyond the items identified in the February 9, 1996 letter from the City Engineer. The cumulative effect of the items brought to the City's attention by the U.B.C. Board, and the items in the February 9th letter, leads the City to make a formal request, that you obtain an evaluation, and advice from an independent source as to the structural integrity of the various buildings located on your property. As has been discussed in the past, the City of Rexburg has an obligation to issue occupancy permits to only those structures which are safe for habitation, and if it cannot be determined that your structures fall within this category, it is possible that your occupancy permit could be rescinded. On behalf of the City of Rexburg, I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your representatives, and discuss the findings of an independent architect or structural engineer with respect to your property. If you have questions concerning what is being asked of you, please don't hesitate to contact me during regular business hours at 359-3020 ext. 316. Sincerely, Stephen P.

The list contained six items that related immediately to the safety at the apartments. These items have been corrected and inspected. Today I received a phone call with a letter following from Richard Scheerer of G. & S. Engineering. His inspection was performed on Applewood Apartments yesterday. He stated that he had limited access because of framing, but the one area he could access in the attic showed no signs of problems. As he inspected the apartments he saw no cracks or other indications of structural problems. He is, however, unwilling to give a stamped inspection of no structural problems without performing an extensive inspection . The City of Rexburg has not rescinded your occupancy permit. Therefore Applewood Apartments can continue to be rented. The remaining items on the inspection report do need to be corrected sometime before December 31, 1996 in order for Applewood Apartments to receive a new unencumbered occupancy permit.

BOX 280 12 NORTH CENTER STREET REXBURG, IDAHO 83440 PHONE (208) 359-3020 FAX (208) 359-3022 It has come to the attention of the City Engineering and Inspection Department, that you have allowed certain of your apartments to be occupied prior to obtaining an "occupancy permit'. In light of the past history, and discussions relating to your apartments, this is completely unacceptable. This letter is to serve as NOTICE that if you have not complied with all terms of obtaining an "occupancy permit' from the City of Rexburg on or before October 25, 1996, the building in question will be ordered vacated, and the appropriate steps taken to bring the building into compliance or take it out of use. Furthermore, with respect to the entire complex, the Engineering and Inspection Department has not received any proposal from you to date, which would indicate how you plan to proceed with the remaining items on the original "punch list'. For ease of tracking dates, this letter shall serve further to give you NOTICE that if you have not provided the City with a formal proposal for remediation of the existing problems in the complex, on or before October 25, 1996, appropriate steps will be taken to resolve the dangerous situations which continue to exist. Such steps might include instigating proceedings to have the property vacated until such time as the safety issues are resolved. Finally, duce all of the above noted issues have been resolved, the matter of your business license must be addressed. At the present time, you are operating a business without a license. The City has no intention of issuing a license until such time as the above noted issues are resolved, but expects you to comply with licensing rules and regulations as soon as possible. Again, for ease of tracking, October 25, 1996 will be the deadline for compliance. As you know from past experience, the City of Rexburg is willing to work toward solving these issues, however, the matters must all be resolved by October 25, 1996, or the City will have no choice but to act. Please get in touch with the Engineering and Inspection Department as soon as possible to begin rectifying these matters. Sincerely, Stephen P.

IDAHO 83440 PHONE (208) 359-3020 FAX (208) 359-3022 As the stairway and walkways are nearing completion, several problems are evident. A discussion on September 1, 1995, was held with Mr. Clark, who I understand is installing the railings. This letter is a follow-up on the conversation. Inasmuch as drawings were not submitted on the project the following will pertain: 1. Designed so that a 411 sphere cannot pass through. 2. Load requirements of 200#. 3. Handgrip portion of handrail not less than 1 1/211 in cross sectional dimension. By filling under the handrail which is now 12" above the deck, if the design is properly made #1 and #2 above could be accomplished. We talked about stabilizing the front support beam of the apartments by jacking the beam and using non -shrink grout under baseplate of the columns. The bricks that have sagged over the walkway will have to be raised up in place and stabilized. The step pattern crack should be grouted in. The cover plates between the curb and sidewalk covering a drain should be cleaned out, stabilized, refit and welded so they will not be a hazard for someone walking over them. Sections of the code are enclosed to help you determine the items required. Please keep barricades in place until the project is completed so the students will be protected from any hazards. Your prompt attention to the above is a requisite for the completion of the stairway. We will expect the work to be accomplished and ready for inspection by September 16, 1995.

All Buildings North Side: Footings exposed at stepped portions suggest retaining wall along North Property Line adequate to fill and cover footings - Permanent Swale constructed from rear to front to carry run off roof water to street. 2. Drain covers crossing sidewalk need revamped, cleaned and kept clear of silt and debris, to eliminate sidewalk hazard as well as helping solve drainage problem. 3. Gas line needs rehung on north wall. Strapping pulled loose a hazard as it now exists. Suggest painting black pipe to enhance appearance. 4. All buildings need trim installed on siding at foundation to help seal off vermin to apartments. Windows at sills need trim and caulk. 5. New North Building: Try and get plane from Clark so we can check and verify spans for joists before moving partition out to the South Retaining Wall. 6. Provide a plan of steps and walkways as they are to be rebuilt. 7. Some bedroom windows may have to be rebuilt to meet emergency egress in entire project. 8. Cover wall at South East Unite needs to be completed. Clean up and left open, should not be a place to collect ,trash. Electrical problems here as well. 9. Front deck support needs some prompt attention to keep further problems from developing. 10. Head room problems need to be corrected and related stairway problems to laundry and lounge area. 11. Drainage problems need correcting from parking lot south of unite and north of Red House and along south wall of west unit so run-off won't undermine foundation. 12. If there is a consideration to cover between buildings at laundry and lounge, detailed plane will be needed. 13. I only went in 3 apartments for a quick walk through. A more detailed inspection probably should be made for each unit. 14. One bottom apartment appeared to have a problem with sagging sheetrock. A closer inspection of this should be done. I appreciate being involved on this preliminary inspection. Please keep us informed if we can be of future service. Very Truly Yours, IeP &�_ I L D.

BOX 280 12 NORTH CENTER STREET REXBURG, IDAHO 83440 PHONE (208) 359-3020 FAX (208) 359-3022 An inspection of 10/12/95 revealed the following: Some attempt was made on handrails by placing a 3/4" channel below the system to close the 12" gap at the bottom. This was an attempt but didn't fill the bill for compliance. My letter of September 5, outlined the requirements. The support beam had not been stabilize at the southwest corner of the building. The work on the rain gutter apparently was not completed as it was raining at the time of the inspection and a collection of water was falling directly on the lower landing of the steps. This condition is unacceptable, especially since freezing weather is imminent, which will be a definite hazard to the tenants. Some backfilling and concrete work is still lacking in and around the new steps. A hazard exists at the east end landing where water will collect from the parking area. The cover plates over sidewalks and parking area have not been repaired properly. Metal covers over water meters need to be installed. I am enclosing a letter sent to Mr Jay Flukinger several items here are evident and need correction. Item 1- Run off from your roof on the north side adjacent to Greenbrier Apartments needs immediate attention as water runs over the sidewalk that is located on the Greenbrier property. My understanding is that you agreed to do this several years ago in a meeting at City Council with the Greenbrier people. This causes a real hazard with the students using the sidewalk to Greenbrier. Item 2- This area is so full of couches, bed frames, etc, that people could not get out of those apartments if they needed to. Also it appears to be a fire hazard. I'm worried also about the refrigerators that have been stacked at the rear of the apartments. If perchance some small children would find their way back there a fatality could L. occur. The entire east area is a shambles. The city has a Nuisance, Ordinance #706 that prohibits this condition. A copy of my letter of September 5, is enclosed to refresh your memory. Please try to get the work donel Your maintenance man indicated he was trying to get it done, but I'm sure he needs some competent help. We will inspect again the end of October and expect compliance. If you have any problems or questions, please come by the city office for clarification. We are expecting the work to be done by October 31. The Health and safety issues are too critical for you to postpone any longer. Very Truly Yours, Blair Manwaring, Building Inspector Enc: 2 CC: J.
