B1 <br /> Buiidino Improvement Costs <br /> • • <br /> Interior <br /> Rick Jarson's Findings: <br /> 1. The upstairs area referred to in the appraisal as a lounge does not function as <br /> such. The access to and from the area consists of a stairway which does not <br /> conform to the code requirements. If the area were to be used as lounge for the <br /> public, the stairway would need to be modified to conform to the code and a <br /> second exit from the area would be required. <br /> 2. The floor covering throughout the seating is vinyl tile. Its age would suggest <br /> possible asbestos content. An analysis by an independent testing lab could <br /> verify. If the tile contains asbestos, consideration should be taken as to future <br /> abatement requirements. <br /> 3. The HVAC system consists of rooftop units which are of undeterminable age. <br /> Any AC units are probably older models which may not be able to be serviced <br /> with additional freon because of environmental concerns. Consideration should <br /> be taken as to possible future replacement. <br /> The roof was not accessible for inspection. City records do not indicate any <br /> }epair work ever being made. Built-up roofs generally are in need of repair <br /> seven to fifteen years after installation. The age of the building would also <br /> suggest lack of adequate insulation in the roof system. A core sample taken of <br /> the roof would reveal its makeup. <br /> 41) o. The buildings only fire sprinkler system is limited to the kitchen grease hood. <br /> Current codes would require installation of a sprinkler system throughout if the <br /> occupancy classification were to change or the floor area were to be increased. <br /> Additional Questions to consider: <br /> 1. If the heating unit is designed for one large room and the area is converted into <br /> three permanent rooms, will additional cooling and heating systems need to be <br /> purchased and installed? <br /> 2. Currently heating/cooling unit is used 3 times a week for no more than 5 hours, <br /> will heating/cooling unit be able to handle additional hours of operation? <br /> 3. How many additional doors should be put in? <br /> 4. What changes, if any, need to be made to bring facility up to ADA standards? <br /> 5. How many windows will be put in? <br /> 6. Will formal hallways and permanent rooms be constructed or will dividers be <br /> used? If permanent rooms are constructed, where will elections be held? If <br /> dividers are used, where will equipment taken down during elections be stored? <br /> 7. Will the carpeting/flooring be repaired/replaced? <br /> 8. Will the stage area be removed or kept? <br /> 9. Depending on usage of the building, will additional furniture and equipment need <br /> to be purchased? <br /> 10. Is adequate lighting provided? Will existing lighting be used or replaced? <br /> 0 11. Depending how rooms are divided up, are additional bathrooms needed? <br /> Are existing bathrooms accessible with persons with disabilities? <br />
