Dear Ms. Hillis:
The purpose of this letter is to bring to your attention certain International Mechanical Code provisions relating

As Administrative Authority for compliance to the International Mechanical Code for the jurisdiction of

According to City records, IIW Energy Services applied for and obtained a mechanical permit (#2005-0580) on

your behalf to remove an existing oil furnace and replace with a new gas -fired furnace and insert. The

mechanical permit stated that the units were to be installed in a downstairs family ro m.

identified to you the code provisions that regulate gas fired mechanical equipment and he also explained the

code exceptions that would allow you to correct the situation —the easy correction is to remove the bed.
Be advised, by this letter the City has properly informed you of IMC.,provisions that prohibit gas fired

mechanical equipment to communicate with air from sleeping rooms. No jurisdiction has the ability to monitor

the day to day use of rooms in any private home. You are hereby notified of the risks you pose to yourself and
others by allowing sleeping room use of a room that has combustion air communication with a gas -fired

mechanical unit. Nothing in this letter should be. interpreted to authorize sleeping use of such a room and any

Such use is a violation of the IMC.
