ICE
Oh Well

Rosanne is available..............................to play the senator
Maybe even a TV series
Is that not allowed?
Yes they did. It exhausts not far from what looks like the A/C.At that fifth joist, did they frame out around a dryer vent?
The City offices say that since they issued the permit they are not going to say there are zoning violations - it seems corrupt to me but they said I only had 10 days to appeal the permit. They wouldn't allow me access to the plans as they were supposedly copyrighted and issued the permit base on their definition of a patio. (a flat structure no higher than 30") A patio is not supposed to project our more than 12 feet or take up more than a certain percentage of lot coverage. This thing is 6 feet plus railings high, 21 feet long and 22 feet wide.
It looks higher than 30".
The 6’ I understand.....the 14’ I don’t. So it doesn’t fit the definition of a patio.
So it sounds like you want to go to the mat on this.
Since you talked to an attorney,,,
Might as well hire a good “Code Consultant” private type.
They can look at the install.
They can look at the building and city codes.
They can advise you if it is right or wrong.
They can represent you in front of any city official, and be able to talk code!!!!!!
One other, do you know any of the city council people??? Sometimes they like to get involved and make noise.
! If the final inspection has not been done can I "force" the city to comply with fire code?
I can tell you from personal experience on commercial projects ... we went through a lengthy permit review process, all the required in-progress inspections, and when the inspector was on site for the final we failed. He didnt like that we had built a “dog house” on the roof for hvac duct penetration, made us spend about $20k to take it down. We pointed out that it was on the approved and stamped drawings, he said it didnt matter, it never should have been approved in the first place.
So? That just means that you can't use the same plans to build your deck, it has nothing to do with you cant see them.. They are now saying that the plans are copyrighted ?
I applied for the GRAMA report and had it expedited. They have a couple of documents in there that I have never seen. They are now saying that the plans are copyrighted (even though they've changed their minds on that twice and gave me a copy in July). They have included a plan specification sheet that tells the dimensions of the deck to prove I knew the dimensions - even though I've never seen it before. There are no inspector reports or anything. Is that usually the case for a GRAMA record?
I contacted my city councilman at large and he said that he is going to investigate - I'm not holding out much hope as the city are fighting the timelines of the appeal. Do you know if there is a limit on appealing fire code? Also, where could I find a "code consultant" in Utah?
If inspections have been done there should be something!!
It may depend on how they do it, some hand write and some are on computer.
You can ask for dates of any inspections.
You cannot copy the plans, but should be able to see them.
Ask for attorney general opinion if they balk.
There should be no dead line to file a code violation complaint.
Appears you can file a building code complaint anytime:::

You are in an HOA?
If so, what does your home owners insurance say about this, would they refuse a claim if a 4th of july BBQ fire on the "patio" spread to surrounding units?
Does Utah require periodic inspections of HOA's to determine reserve requirements?
