RE: Plan Check: BLD2017-0499 — 2nd review
Project Address: 50 Pine Street
Project: Pt Edwards Building 10 mechanical & gas piping
Scope: Install mechanical ventilation and exhaust system for multi-unit/multi-use
structure — install fuel piping for mechanical equipment — A-3/R-2/S-2 occupancy
groups — 604 occupants — VA construction - NFPA- 13 sprinkler system required
Please be advised that the building plans for the above referenced project have been disapproved
for the purposes of obtaining a building permit. During a review of the plans by the Building
Division for compliance with the applicable building codes, it was found that the following
information, clarifications, or changes are needed. Reviews by other divisions, such as Planning,
Engineering, or Fire, may result in additional comments that require attention beyond the scope of
this letter. Items that recur on this list appear in italics.
A complete review cannot be performed until the revised plans/documents, including a
written response in itemized letter format indicating where the 'clouded' or otherwise
highlighted changes can be found on the revised plans, have been submitted to a Permit
Coordinator.
Resubmittals must be made at the Development Services Department on the 2nd Floor of City Hall.
Permit Center hours are M, T, Th, & F from 8am-4:30pm and from 8:30am-12pm on Wednesdays.
