APPEARANCE : James R. Wuollet Jeanne Dornfield, Fire Prevention Bureau PROCEEDINGS : Mr. Wuollet explained th at the doughnut fryer is used only a couple of hours each day, and there is a manual fire extinguisher nearby. Grease ducts are cleaned at regular intervals. The 24 sq. inch fryer is near a corner and grease ducts run up a short distan ce and out through a block wall of the single-story building. The cost for instal- ling fire-extinguishing equipment abov�e the fryer would be about $1500. He said the business has been suffering economically the past year and the owners hoped to put off such an expense until a later date when business improves. Je anne Dornfield reported that employees of the bakery estimated that the fryer was used about 2 1/2 hours per day, six days a week. Fire- extinguishing equipment was required in this type of situation by three differen� codes. Greg Plante described in detail the setup of an approved system. Messrs. Knutson and Gausman questioned Mr. Wuollet concerning the grease hood and duct system over the doughnut fryer. 5/10/83 - Meeting No. 196y , . � �A,;��. i� MINUTES OF THE MEETING � _ � � °".;^� ST.

APPEARANCE : Mr. & Mrs. Eugene H. Rieger, Sr. PROCEEDINGS: Mr. Rieger displayed some pictures of the interiors of the two apartments. He said that each basement apartment had a sing7e gentle- man occupant of limited income , and both would find it difficult to find another apartment at such low rent. Alice Bijjani stated that the inspe ctor had noted the problem of pro- viding light and ventilation in the kitchen, that requiring compliance would impose an exceptionally large fin an cial burden , and that it -7- 5/10/83 - Meetin No . 196 . !�,��,�"a�g� u , �...,,, . was not pr actical to order vacation of the units , which othe rwise conform, in this situation. Ms. Bijjani pointed out on a rough sketch of the area that access to the shared bathroom was direct from each apartment-- a much better situation th an one where access was gained from a common hallway outside the apartments. BOARD ACTION : Chairman Glassman moved that the variances be granted on Se ction 34. 14, to permit continued use of Apt. #4 where kitchen lacks a window for light and ventilation , on condition th at an approved ductless f.an be installed. He also moved that a variance of Section 34. 1I be granted to permit occupants of two basement dwelling units to continue sharing use of one bathroom, on condition that occup an cy be restricted to one person in each unit. Mrs. Bostrom seconded. MOTION CARRIED. THE VOTE: Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Abstentions - 0 A discussion of the lack of a handsink in the shared bathroom ensued. Ms. Bijjani said this was especially important in a bathroom that was shared. Mr. Rieger stated that his plumber had indicated there would be some difficulty putting in a handsink, but there was available wall space. Mrs. Rieger said this would be expensive and the tenants have very low incomes. She didn' t like the idea of having to increase their rents. - BOARD ACTION: Mr. Gausman moved that the appeal for a variance on Section 34. 11, pertaining to handsink requirement in bathroom f acilities , be denied, with a time extension �to November l, 1983, for compliance.

Appellant asks that matter be heard vsithout him being present because of his work schedule. Housing code. office has all the information needed and has agreed to this procedure. APPEARANCE : None PROCEEDINGS : Because of an oversight by the housing code office , Ms. Bij jani had suggested to the appellant that he need not appear and that she would present the matter to the board. She said if the board was not willing to make a decision , she would ask Dr. Parupsky to appear at a later meeting. She pointed out on a rough sketch of the basement unit that there was a deficiency of light and ventilation in both the kitchen and the combination living/sleeping room. The kitchen deficiency was slight. In the living/sleeping room, the deficiency was greater. She said that Dr. Parupsky was looking more favorably on the matter of continuing the use of the basement unit after the expiration date of his present tenant' s lease December 31, 1983 , an option granted by the board in April on condition th at he bring the escape window up ta code requirements.

(six units) Petroski SUBJECT: Request variances ora Section 34. 09 , pertaining to deadbolt locks , Sec on 34. 14 , light and ventilation, and Section 35.03 , pertaining to stairwell enclosures and smoke doors within stairwell enclosures , because of financial hardship. Prior Hearing 4/12/83 : Case was con tinued to May mee ting to allow time to reinspect property and obtain further information. APPEARANCE : Je an Petroski PROCEEDINGS : Mrs. Petroski said that some of her questions had been answered since the last meeting. Those concerned with the placement of the smoke detectors and the` requirements on deadbolt locks have been cleared up and are no longer subjects involved in her appeal. Ms. Bijjani said the main concern that needed more investigation after the hearing in April was the problem of the rear stairwell. This involved a kitchen window which would be blocked if the stairwell would be enclosed, creating a problem with insufficient light and ventilation in the kitchen. The Fire Dept. has not been accepting wire glass in window5 as an alterna- tive in such situations. Another problem was how to put a self-closer on the trapdoor that led into the third floor. After discussion with her supervisor and Chief Inspector Sam Blue , they concurred with her that the best solution was to sheetrock over the underside of the trapdoor opening , thereby making the stairs two stories only and eliminating the need for changing all the glass and other details in that stairwell. There are already closers on the doors. BOARD ACTION : Mr. Sawyer moved that a variance of Chapter 35 be granted, permitting the trap door from the rear stairs to the third floor apartment to be closed off with 5/8" sheetrock, eliminating the need for enclosure of the re ar stairs. Mrs. Bostrom seconded. MOTION CARRIED. THE VOTE : Ayes - 5 N ays - 0 Abstentions - 0 Mrs. Petroski said the remaining questions concerned the five oak doors th at open on the stairwells and basement windows in the sleeping area of that unit. She did not want to mar the appearance of the doors with sheet metal paneling. , -9- 5J10/83 - Meeting No. 196 _ ��p�`�� '',. . � t� ,. Ms. Bijjani explained that the doors were all 3/4" with ) /4' paneling, except one that had a glass panel. She said the application of 1/4" to 3/8" panels to the existing panels would bring about greater satety, although there was some disagreement among housing code personnel as to whether it should be regarded as acceptable. The glass-paneled door could be altered, either with the substitution of wire glass or by cover- ing the glass with plywaod, to meet fire rating requirements. BOARD ACTION: Mrs. Bostrom moved that a variance of Section 35. 03 be granted, permitting continued use of five apartment entrance doors which open into the front stairwell, on conditian that additional plywoad panels , 1/4" to 3/8" in thickness , be laminated to existing 1/4" paneling, and that glass in one of the doors be replaced with wire glass or couered over with plywood of approved thickness. Mr. Gausman seconded. MOTION CARRIED. THE VOTE: Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Abstentions - 0 Chairman Glassman asked if the self-closing doors in the rear of the build- ing had been taken care of, and Ms. Bijjani said the appellant had agreed to meet the requirements . Ms. Bijjani said the windows in the basement sleeping rooms were of insuf- ficient height if the existing windows are retained. If casement windows would be substituted for the double-hung, all requirements would be met without disturbing the wall. � BOARD ACTION: Chairman Glassman moved that a variance be granted on Section 34. 14, p�rtaining to light and ventilation, on condition that casement -type windows be installed to replace existing clouble-hung - windows to provide an emergency escape route. Mr. Gausman seconded. MOTION CARRIED. THE VOTE : Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Abstentions - 0 N.rs. Petroski asked how soon all the work was supposed to be completed.
