This house to convert into a duplex will need the things that we talked about. You will need smoke detectors in all
bedrooms and smoke and carbon monoxide alarms out side of bedrooms. A 2alObd fire extinguisher in both kitchens
hung in plain sight. You will need to separate the furnace room with walls and sheet rock 5/8" type X on both sides all the
way up to the sheeting of the above flooring.Also the door will need to be a metal door with weatherstripping and a
threshold, with a keyed lock. The ceiling will need two layers of 5/8" type X sheet rock. All stairs will need railings or
guard rails when over 4 risers. The upper floor of the main level only has a ceiling height of 6' 5" so it can only be used
for storage. This should cover most things with the building but some times other things come up. If you have any
questions feel free to call any of us. Thanks, Larry

Met on site with Bob and the Owner. To convert this building to a duplex it must have GFCI protection for all kitchen and
bathroom receptacles and all of the wiring that is exposed must be made safe, the main electrical service must be
changed out for a two pack meter because the basement is being remodeled entirely. Please permit all electrical work and
call for inspections when ready.

On the mechanical side in order to change a home into a duplex you need to separate heating systems. On the plumbing
side you need to separate the water system from one apartment to the next you will need to shut off valves. Indeed to be
able to shop off the water to one apartment without shutting off the water to the other apartment.
