DEFICIENCY LIST
FOR
266 Fry Street
May 22, 1991
All repairs and new installations must be made in accordance with the appropriate codes.
Permits must be obtained where changes and/or additions to an electrical system require
upgrading of the service size to current National Electrical Code (N.E.C.) requirements.
Some plumbing repairs may necessitate updating of the fixtures and/or piping involved. A
permit is required for any repair or new installation. Permits may be obtained from the
Building Inspection and Design Division, Room 445, City Hall.
These buildings meet the definition of a Dangerous Structure. The garage is fire
damaged and is not repairable. The main building is very deteriorated and is missing
parts of the roof and is severely fire damaged. The walls, windows and doors are
defective, rotted, decayed and generally dilapidated. Portions of the main building and
the burned out garage are partially collapsed and in danger of further collapse and are
inherently unsafe. Both buildings are full of junk, refuse and accumulated materials
and in this condition comprise a substantial fire hazard and a nuisance condition.
