Re: 2746 Grove Street

Thank you, Eric, for the additional details. | located the other name connecting the occurrences and dates.

We look forward to hearing Murray's response to the second question from the beginning of this email: e Murray, do we have an ETA on when the rescue pups will be able to safely enjoy their backyard by correcting

the fence code violation of the unfinished 2740 fence side? As discussed, the two abutting properties (2752 Gove and 2733 Osborne) have finished fence sides, but 2740 still does not. Are code violations still ten

days to remedy? Ifso, this code violation equally qualifies for the same remedy timeframe. We eagerly look

forward to 2746 correcting their fence code violation and removing the protruding fence nails at the dog’s eye level.

would be conducting the inspections for this permit. You may inquire by contacting City Hall, 404-637-0500 and ask to be connected with the building department.

Thank you for the clarification. Who was the site inspector?

Who was the building inspector?

And the building inspector(s) did not discover what was built had surpassed the scope of the permitted plans, correct?

Sarah,

The building final inspection is conducted by the building inspectors who inspect the structural aspects of permit, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, etc. The site inspections focus on the land, the topography and the vegetation, and any exterior improvements not falling under the building inspections purview. There is required a building final as well as a site final to be passed before a certificate of occupancy can be issued and the permit closed.

Thank you, Eric, for the quick response. Is a "site inspection” the same thing as a "building final inspection"?

Thank you for coming out in the cold weather to 2740 Grove Street on 1/7 to view the damage and impacts of the code violations from 2746 Grove Street, which was built beyond the scope of their approved plans and permits. e

Eric, you had mentioned in simple terms you busted 2746 for not constructing the extension per the approved plans. When did COB discover this construction error?
