did not find the sagging of the porch to be a hazard to the gas line. He issued new orders dated
February 13 which iucluded to provide a signed affidavit that there aze worlang smoke detectors

Ms. Muse stated that tlus building was a row house of flu wndos and was built in 1887. They
were aware that the issue with the front parch needed to be addressed; however, it was going to be
an expensive undertakiug and finances were an issue. They did receive a bad in the amount of
$6,000 to remove and completely re-build the front porch. She asked whether they would be able to
repair the porch rather than removing and replacing it.
Ivls. Moermond responded that the orders did indicate that the porch be removed or repaired and if

three inches and he could not determine the source of the saggiug. His main concern would be
leveling the floor so that it did not remain a trip hazazd.

the porch provided there was no further deterioration and it did not pose a hazazd to the gas line.
