Closure of Mechanical Permit Application
Subject:
th
Site Address: 610 5 Ave S
Owner: One Ballard
The above building permit application is hereby closed due to the following reasons:
The permit was applied for by King’s Heating to install new direct vent furnaces in
the 2 upstairs retail spaces, as well as install new exhaust fans in the 2 new restrooms and
install makeup air to the lower hallway.
On October 12, 2009 I was informed by Gary of King’s Heating during a phone
conversation that due to differences between King’s and the building owner, King’s would
no longer pursue obtaining the permit. No fees had been collected for the permit
application, so no refund is needed.
The issues of work to be done were resolved in the following manner:
1.The direct vent furnaces were not installed; instead, electric baseboard
heaters were installed, which satisfied the code requirement for heating. It
was confirmed that a permit was obtained from L&I for this work. Also, it
is evident by the openable doors and windows in each space that sufficient
natural ventilation is provided in order to comply with code.
2.As there was some overlap, or redundancy, in the scope of work of the
mechanical permit and the shell and core permit (BLD2009-0142), the
owner was able to complete the installation and obtain approval for the
exhaust fans and makeup air within the scope of the shell and core permit.
