Dear Condo Members:
Monday, July 24, 2006, Joe Barbeau and I inspected the rear building at 131 Derby
Street. The purpose of this inspection was to see first hand the conditions outlined in
Allan Vitukevich's (P.E.) letter dated July 17, 2006.
The workers were able to pull back the temporary rubber roof and the sheathing below to
allow a clear view. During this inspection, we took several photographs to confirm this
condition.
It is our opinion that the Engineer's letter very accurately outlines the problems and the
repairs required. We also agree, the garage roof is:"unsafe" and repairs need to be
engineered and implemented immediately. The gas service lines in the garage need to be
terminated during the construction process to ensure that a pipe will not be broken.
This Department will expedite the plan review and the permit issuance when plans are
received.
If there are any questions, please contact me immediately.
Si I JaePSly,
Thomas St. Pierre
Building Commissioner
