INSPECTION NOTICE
12840 33RD Place S.,Tukwila,WA 98168
RFA12-248
On May 6,2014 The City of Tukwila inspected the structure and documented the following
conditions:
James Dunaway,Building Inspector documented:
Based on records and our inspection today I can identify that there have been three additions to
the original structure,without permits.
Addition 1:the back of the original home has a two story addition enlarging the main floor living
area above,and enlarging the basement living area below.
Addition 2:is a one story addition to expand the kitchen.
Addition 3: is the largest addition on the end of the home,2 stories,adding a Master Bedroom
and Bath up,and a Mother Law apartment down.
All though all the additions are finished on the inside it is obvious to me that none of the
additions were built to code a may not be structurally sound. Barring walls may have been
removed;footings and foundations were not built,or not built to code.Walls and floors in areas
are not level or plum and most likely are under framed. Standard construction practices were
most likely not applied to any of the additions. The only way to determine the full extent of the
framing problems associated with the three additions would be to open up walls and ceilings in
key locations,at a minimal.
It does appear as though all three of the additions are within set back requirements.We measured
the most recent addition to the kitchen,and determined it is within a five foot,side yard,setback,
via the neighbor's survived string line.
In addition,to the three additions,a 2 story deck was built on the back of the home that is under
framed without proper footings,and/or connections to the house,and is in dangerous condition.
The deck is adjacent to a slope and could collapse down the slope.
Jim Benner, Senior Electrical Inspector documented:
• -Exterior lights on the house where observed to be wired without back/splice boxes
constituting potential fire hazard.
• -Splices to wiring on upper deck without junction boxes pose potential fire/electrocution
hazard.
• -Dry location wiring and devices observed under the deck.This is a wet location and the
wiring is subject to deterioration resulting in potential electrocution hazard.
• -Both kitchens were observed to be wired without GFCI protection for counter appliance
receptacles posing electrocution hazard.
• -100 amp sub panel located in basement.This panel's feeder conductors are not run in a
conduit for their entire length.This condition subjects the conductors to potential for
mechanical damage which may result in fire or electrocution.Also,no equipment ground
to sub panel which may pose electrocution hazard.
• -Missing device plates observed throughout the house pose potential fire/electrocution
hazard.
• -The main panel appears to have been installed without permit.
All of these conditions were observed on the visible surfaces of the structure.There is no
way to determine the workmanship of the wiring installation within the walls without
removing wall and/or ceiling finishes down to the framing.The only acceptable means of
verifying the integrity of the wiring and its insulation within the walls and ceilings would be
to have a licensed electrician conduct a megger test on all wiring that is not exposed for
visible inspection.
