PROCEEDINGS:
Chairman ��Yozniak read a letter dated July 22, 1975, from Senior Plumbing
Inspector, Doug Schwab, to the appellant, N1r. Howie, which outlined an
agreement reached by them as to the plumbing cade violations that were
to be corrected.
Mr. Howie stated that he was currently working with Senior Electrical
Inspector, Dan Smolik, to compile a list of the items considered
hazardous and in need of immediate correction, and other electrical
work which posed no danger to life safety that cou�d be completed over
an extended time period.
Other than the plumbing and electrical items , Mr. Howie asked for a
waiver of the shared bathroom requirement. His apartment building had
only six bathrooms for� eight units . Two efficiency units , with one
tenant in each, shared a bath, and one one-bedroom unit and an efficiency,
each occupied by single tenants , shared another.
Chairman titiozniak suggested that Inspector Smolik and Mr. Howie meet in
another room to come to an agreement on which electrical items were in
neLd of immediate correction and which could be done over a longer
period of time . After their conference, during the Board Meeting, the
hzaring on the case would continue.
