834 N. Forest Ave., South Bend, IN
Here is additional information in regards to the work that is proposed for the house located at 834 N.
Forest Ave in South Bend.
The roof has 3 areas of concern. The first area is a flat roof on the south side of the house (#2 on the
site map) that appears to have suffered damage due to a falling tree limb. The impact left a hole in the
flat roof which is allowing water into the interior. The repair will require the installation of new black
roll roofing made by Owens Corning in a color called Black Onyx. The new roofing material is an in-kind
repair to match the existing material. As the roof is flat, the repair is not visible to the street. The
second hole is at the top of the second floor dormer on the second story of the house (#3 on the site
map) and it appears this area may have been damaged by raccoons. Again, water is pouring into the
interior which has damaged plaster walls, ceilings and wood floors. The repair will use Owens Corning
asphalt 3-in-1 shingles. This is an in-kind repair not visible to the street. The 3rd area of concern is the
chimney at the top of the gabled roof (#1 on the site map). This chimney has collapsed leaving a short
amount of brick exposed above the roofline. I am requesting the removal of the remaining chimney and
have the area filled in with ¾” plywood and then covered in Owens Corning asphalt 3-in-1 shingles. The
new shingles will match the existing shingles already on the house. This is another in-kind repair.
Retaining the existing chimney was not considered a priority as it will soon become obsolete when the
new furnace and waterheater vent out the side wall. The rebuilding of this chimney was considered an
unnecessary expense for a non-functioning chimney. The existing chimney has allowed water
infiltration that will need to be addressed ASAP.
There is a small tree in the rear yard between the house and the garage that is completely dead (#4 on
the site map). This tree will need to be removed ASAP before falling branches damage the roof of the
garage.
Thank you for your consideration,
Laura Hayden, owner
