RE: 626 2 S. Grant
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Wyman:
On Monday, August 22, 1988 Elmer Walston and I inspected the construction
around the furnace and water heater. This work has been done withnnt a permit,
and is constructed illegally.
The problems are that the combustible materials are too close to the furnace
and water heater according to the 1985 Uniform Mechanical Code, Section 504,
which states that combustible materials shall not be installed closer than
what is listed on the name plate or manufacturer's installation instructions
for the furnace. The 1985 Uniform Plumbing Code,Section 1311 (e), "Access
and Working Space for Water Heaters", states that there will be not less than
a 30" deep by 36" wide working space immediately in front of the firebox access
opening.
Your water heater and furnace do not comply with these sections of the
Mechanical and Plumbing codes.
Also, according to the Uniform Mechanical Code, Section 601 (b) and Section
911, combustion air needs to be brought in from the outside and the draft
diverter needs to draw air from the furnace room only.
These problems do require immediate attention due to zero clearance from
combustion and the fire hazard that is created. Thank you for your cooperation
in this matter.
