We are waiting on final drawings/approvals from the state. Chris is also in need of several different items. No rough ins are completed at the interior. The builder is aware he should have not went vertical and will stop all work at this point William Hohlt Deputy Building Commissioner City of Carmel 317.571.2470 From: Mishler, Nicholas F Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2014 10:19 AM To: Blanchard, Jim E; Hohlt, William G; Schriner, Adam J; Miser, Craig Cc: Liggett, Brent E; Lux, Pamela K; Kass, Joslyn; Ellison, Christopher M; Knott, Bruce Subject: 89 First Ave SW I’ve received word that this commercial remodel at 89 First Ave SW (Permit #13090106) has basically completed their work. The problem is they only had a foundation release for the exterior façade work and never sent the CFD the required info to get a full release. The builder never called in a rough-in or final so we never were able to stop them from proceeding. Can someone stop by this site today and find out if there is anything we can do? I have attached the inspection report.
