	Dear FOOTE RAYMOND,
	An evaluation of the above-referenced property on   01/06/2006   shows that the structure fails to comply 
	with Section 115. of the City of Portland Building Code.  (IBC 2003). 
             
		Upon investigation of the premises at 162 Hobart St. I found the building was vacant and not secured from entry. All windows were broken and the front stairs were torn from the building. The building is deemed to be unsafe for occupancy in its current condition.
	
	This is a notice of violation pursuant to Section 115.1 of the City of Portland Building Code.  (IBC 2003). (115.1) 
  	All referenced violations shall be corrected within  14    days of the date of this notice. A re-inspection of the premises will occur on  10/20/2006 at which time compliance will be required. Failure to comply will result in this office referring the matter to the City of Portland Corporation Counsel for legal action and possible civil penalties, as provided for in Section 113.3 of the IBC Code. 

	Please feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss the matter or have any questions. 
	
	Please be advised that the Portland City Council has amended the Building regulations to include a $75.00 
	re-inspection fee. This violation will automatically cause a re-inspection at no charge. If there are any 
	subsequent inspections, however, the $75.00 fee will be assessed for each inspection.
	
	Sincerely,
