Dear Mr. Donovan: .
This is to elaborate on our telephone conversation of last week � �
concerning the present status of Fire Stations #1 and #6, as far .'
as the Building Department is concerned. .
These properties were surveyed by this department in early 1963 and
• a recommer�dation was made that immediate steps be taken to vacate ,�,
the buildings because they were considered sub-standard, unhealthy
, � and in dangerous conditions. This recommendation was apparently in-
� terpreted as a condemnation of the properties with the idea that they
' - must be wrecked. However, this department' s use of the word "con-
demnation" is that because of specific defects in the building we .
may proceed to condemn it in order to have specified corrections made -
If it is determined that� it is hot. practical to make specified cor-
. rections, the buildings are then wrecked. However, when the speci£ied
- corrections are made� the .building could be restored to certain uses �
„ and the requirements of the •Building Code be met. . , -
_ The following i�tems are to b�e considered necessary in order to return .
.� the buildings, formerly housing stations #1 and #6i to. some other use: .
, These items would be considered those necessary to meet the minimum , `
standards. Specific occupancies could well demand that more. correc- .
. tions are made. . . � .
Fire Station #T, located at 425 Main Street: � " ' ,
� 1) Electrica�. service should be rehabilitated as the present service ' �
consists� of two 30-amp. main circuits, f ar below the minimum re- �
� quirements for a building of this size.� ; . , .

2) There is a crack in the first floor concrete slab across the
. main entrance doors. This crack appears to have been caused
by the improper placement of reinforcing steel. It wi�.l be ,
necessary that this section of the floor be re-built: � �
• Fire Station #E}, located at 124 E. Delos Street: �
� .
�
1) ' The plumbing on the second floor is in very poor condition and •
� , must either be repaired or removed.
2) The second floor has badly sagged toward the front of the
' building, probably caused by improper framing when an existing
- stairway was removed. It will be necessary that this section .
of the floor be re-built. '
3) � The property must have the roof leaks repaired. -
4) The masonry parapet wal.ls extending above the roof line must be �
rebui�lt as at the present time they are badly deteriorated and
� are not to be considered safe.
.' When these items have�}�een corrected this department would give ap-
� proval for limited occupancy of the buildings. The second floor
construction, originally designed for, a dormitory use, is not strong • '
�„ enough to be used for warehouse floor loadings and would require ex- .
tensive reinforcement before it can be put to any, but ].imited, use.
Other repairs and correctioris that might be needed would be determined '
by an occupant, based on what 'use he intended to put' the building to. '
We hope that this info`rmation answers the questions �that you have had
�� . and if we can be of any more assistance, would you please contact
this office. - . � . ,
