October 5, 2015 <br />RE: 815 Ashland COA application <br />This afternoon I met with the homeowner at 815 Ashland to inspect the condition of the garage that <br />they wish to tear down. I photographed the structure including taking a level/square to show how off <br />square the garage is. As the photos show the garage actually sits below grade of the driveway and <br />garage floor. The current garage floor was poured after the garage was built which has left a channel <br />basically for the garage frame to rot at the bottom. The floor is 3-4" from top to where the base frame <br />actually rests. The base frame wood is soft to the touch and spongy. The structure has shifted to the <br />point that the garage door had broken off the tracks as shown by photo. The owner expressed the <br />concern that the neighbors' cars may get damaged as their rear parking spaces butt up within feet of the <br />structure. <br />Steve Szaday <br />Preservation Specialist <br />HPCSBSJC <br />
