MEMO TO: Northampton Building Inspection Department ATTENTION: Louis Job Reference: Jenny Miriam - 35 & 37 Highland Avenue Comments: Dear Louis, Hello- Here is our proposal for the tenant fire separation as requilred by Mass State Building Code at 35 and 37 Highland Avenue. This proposal is a response to our meeting on 12/27/05 in which you stated that there was inadequate fire separation between the two rental units. Of particular concern were the basement and attic spaces which are currently open to both apartments. We propose the following work to remedy these concerns: 1. In the basement we will build a 2 X 4 wall with 5/8" firecode drywall on both sides with a fire door to provide utility access for both units. This wall will be tight to the existing center beam and will have the appropriate fire caulking at all penetrations. 2. In the attic we will secure all existing 1" floor boards and provide a laver of 3/4" CDX plywood to be installed on top of this with tight joints throughout. All beams and other structural members will be completely sealed with fire caulking 3. The two story party wall will have 5/8" firecode drywall en both sides and all penetrations will be firestopped-attention paid to areas between the joists. 4. The basement doors into the units will be backed with 518" firecode drywall to provide the necessary 20 minute rating. 5. Firestopping at "balloon framing" areas as you identified. 6. The existing attic access to#35 will be closed off. Thanks- ease call if you have any qu tions or comments! b � LIP cy� ti,4 `06 r Fll�- Vern Harrington,Pres. Thayer Street Associates,Inc. cc.

The state defines "Homeowner" as, "Person(s) who owns a parcel on which he/she resides or intends to be, a one or f►vo farm y _- dwelling, attached or detached structures accessory to such use and/or farm structures. A person who constructs more than one home in a two-year period shall not be considered a home owner." _ The building department for the City oTNorthampton wants-any person(s)-who-seek-to use the home owner exemption, to act as their own construction supervisor, to be aware that by doing so you become responsible for compliance with state building codes and regulations. The inspection process requires that the building department be called to inspect work at various stages, which include foundation/footings (before baclifill), sonotube holes (before pour). a rough building inspection (before work is concealed), insulation inspection (if required) and a final building-inspection.:The building department requires these inspections before the work is concealed,failure to secure these inspections can result in failure to obtain a certificate of occupancy until the work can be inspected. If the homeowner hires other trades to perform work(electrical, plumbing& gas) the homeowner will be responsible to make sure that the trades hired secure their proper permits in conjunction to the building permit issued, and that they get their required inspections. Failure of the individual trades to secure the permits and inspections as required can DELAY the project until such time as the proper permits and inspections are made arm understand the above. (Home owner esident's signature requesting exemption) I will call to schedule all required building inspections necessary for the building permit issued to me - �� ray Date 1 Address of work location r ------- �-� D E inaaChnrct1➢- � -=— w DEPART}iElrT OP ➢UILDD\10 INSPECTIONS 212 Main Street - Municipal Building Northampton, Mass. 01060 WC)RICER'S CON'TENSATION 13-'SURANCE Al'1'U�AV11" v"ILb z principal place of businessfresidence zt: - - (phone:!)
