inspection and the evaluation letter.
Site Conditions:
Two-storytri-plex; approximately 2200sf, 44 years old (approx.); exterior concrete masonry & Architectural Wall Panels
Fiber Cement Siding finish on wood flamed construction; perimeter concrete footers; perimeter foundation block walls;
floor joisdgirder/truss system; wood frame walls and engineered roof tnrsseshafters. Normal residential design loads are
for this area. Topographies are relatively lhd.
Enobieer's Evaluation
Based on a visual inspection and construction practices, we have inspected the issues listed below only and the following
are the findings:
1. The exterior windows of the building were replaced with new "Oceanview hnpact Resistant Single Hung
windows manufactured by Viwinco, Inc. certified to Florida Product Approval #15576.1 rated to a differential
wind pressure of+/- 50 psf (See Photos 1 -15). The windows have been installed in the original wall opening
consisting ofdouble 2"x4" wood studframe covered by'/2" (min.) exterior grade plywood sheathing (See Photos
16 — 24). The windows.have been secured to the woodframe with 2' long 11-gauge nails L3/8" dia head).plus .
3" long #8 wood screws both spaced at 6" maximum from the comers and 12" maximum intermediate. The
perimeter of the windows has been covered/scaled with "Window Wrap" (See Photos 23, 27, 52 — 57).
