Mr. Daniel DeLeon
Make It Happen Construction
RE: Harrison Residence 16 Pratt Street Salem, Ma.01970
Dear Mr. Daniel DeLeon
As you requested I conducted a site visit 10/23/18 to review the installation of the Engineered
LVLs, supporting the roof utilized in the framing of the above project. The Lvls are shown on a plan
dated June 29,2018 prepared by PionArch design and construction with the framing information certified
by me 6/29/18 and revised 9/18/18.
The Salem Building Inspector Mr. Steve Cummings had question the adequacy of the supports of
the beam. You were able to show me the load path down to the foundation. However as we discussed the
area under the door header in the basement should be strengthened as shown on the attached sketch
prepared by me dated 10/23/18. You completed and documented with pictures that this work was
completed.
I can certify that to the best of my knowledge the LVLs members and associated details utilized
in the framing as shown on the drawings are installed properly and meet the loading conditions of the 9th
Edition of the Massachusetts State Building Code for 1&2 Family Residences.
Nothing in this certification relieves the Licensed Construction Supervisor and or the permit
holder of the responsibility for construction of this project per Section I I O.R5.2, and sub section
I I O.R5.2.15 or of the Massachusetts Residential Code 780 CMR 51, or the proper execution of the details
and framing requirements of the drawings,including but not limited to materials, blocking,manufacturers
installation requirements and nailing schedules or other requirements of the code.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to call.
Yours ruly,
L ence H. Ogden P.E. Structural 27765 oa LO ts,
