Results of inspection of job begun without Building Permit
THE CHALET ---Rte 9 6/25/90
Trip to the site showed new roof construction to be nearly
completed. A proper framing inspection was not possible. Most
members concealed . The is no apparent method of fastening the
building end of the new rafters , which have a 4ft. overhang .
The cantilever ratio is close to correct but the existing roof
on the north end is near-flat and appears weak. Walking on the
newly constructed roof causes severe bounce to the old roof .
Our concern is wind lift as well as proper support for loading.
We indicated to the owner that we will require that an engineer
inspect the construction before any further roof work is concealed.
We told him that he could proceed with siding replacement and trim.
The proposed false balcony is not to be constructed until drawings
are submitted, showing an acceptable method of fastening it to the
building. The other proposed roof will need engineers approval also .
Based on this inspection, we will not issue a Building Permit
until all plans have been approved by an Engineer and reviewed by
the Building Department.
The owner was also advised to apply for inspection of any new
electrical work being done.
Vic Lefebvre
Whitney Russell
We also advised the workers on the site to notify their employer to be sure
that a Building Permit has been issued before beginning work in The Town of
Queensbury, in that the Permit process may protect them from economic loss.
6/25/90 3:30 PM--- Same two inspectors met with owner, contractor and Wm.
Montgomery, engineer. It was an amicable meeting. All agreed• to make -the
corrections requested by the Building Dept. Mr. Montgomery will form a letter
describing the changes and submit drawings of the areas in question. The newly
created concealed space between roofs will be firestopped at 20 ft. intervals.
In view of the time frame and exceptional co-operation of the owner, we agreed
to allow construction proceed. There will be no covering of the work until it
is inspected. The Building Permit will be issued following the submittal of
the drawings and engineer's letter.
6/27/90 - Based On the attached letter from the engineer, we are allowing the
construction.to proceed. The physical Permit will be issued and posted. The
work will be inspected during construction.

Dear Mr. Russell ,
I appreciated the time you and Mr. Lefebvre took Monday
afternoon to meet with me and Frank Thomas regarding renovations
to the former Tropicana Restaurant. In the absence of formal
blueprints, I will try to list the items in question and my
comments regarding same.
1 . The new overhanging roof section is framed with 2"x6"
joists, 16" O.C. and is covered with 1/2" CDX sheathing and
shingles. This roof overhangs the building by 3' -B" and
extends back over the main roof for 10ft. I have checked
the strength of this particular section and find that both
the 10ft. portion and the 3' -6" overhanging portion will
adequately support a total snow and dead load of 60 PSF.
2. Frank Thomas intends to install 6 triangular braces under
the overhang . These braces are to be constructed of 4"x4"
members laged into both the overhang and the existing
vertical wall of the main building . With each brace laged
into joists or studs, this bracing should impart a
substantial resistance to up-lift as well as to downward
forces. The exposed edge of the overhanging section has
double 2"x6" members across the ends of the joists which
should limit deflection between braces and help tie the
system of braces together.
3. The extension of the main ( higher) roof over the lower
sidewall roof is to be supported approx . at midpoint by a
girder of three (3) 2"x1O" members. This new girder will ,
in turn , be supported by the existing girder and steel
posts below the ceiling joists. This will remove the snow
load from the weak lower roof and carry all the external
loads on new 2"x8" rafters, 24" O.C. with an approx . span
of 10ft. between supports. This should be a decided
improvement.
Page 1 of 2 •
i
•
(Tropicana Renovations continued)
4 . Frank Thomas has agreed to install vertical 3/8" sheetrock
firestops at approx. every 20ft . in the spaces between old
and new roofs . This will be done under the new section
already in place and in the balance of the roof
construction as they proceed across the side roof . All
eaves will be closed in to prevent weather, dirt, and
•
• insects from entering the vacant space between roofs and to
•
eliminate the wind-tunnel effect in case of fire .
I think I 've remembered all of the items we discussed . If not,
or if other questions come up, let me know and I ' ll try to get
them taken care of to everyone ' s satisfaction . Although Frank
is anxious to get this project completed, he 'd like to keep on
• good terms with you and your department and intends to abide by
your regulations .
Sincerely yours,
A /4/-0.--e)W

TO: FRANK THOMAS

CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER --
RE: Permit #90-403
James Mehalick/The Chalet
DATE: August 6, 1990
Dear Mr. Thomas:
On June 27, 1990, a building permit was issued for the above-mentioned
project. As you will recall , this permit was issued after the work was started.
At that time, you were told that building without a permit in Queensbury was
illegal . You informed Vic Lefebvre affd " myself that this was an oversight of
the owner.
On June 25, 1990, Vic Lefebvre and myself made an inspection at the site.
-
During that inspection, we found most of the work had been completed and areas
that were not completed appeared to .be Very poorly constructed. At this time,
we requested that you get an engineer to design a repair method for the
inadequate workmanship. Later on th-esame day, Mr. Lefebvre and myself met
with you and Mr. William Montgomery, P.E. on the site to discuss the repairs
we thought would be necessary.
On June 26, 1990, Mr. Montgomery( §ubMitted a two page letter whichDI believe,
very clearly described the proper repaf method for the work already completed
and the proper procedures to follow for the work needed to complete the project.
On July 17, 1990, I visited the site at approximately 2:30 p.m. as per
your request only to find all of 'the tqork had again been completed without
the proper inspections. At this tiMe:, requested areas of the roof be opened.
After several days of inspections, it was apparent that none of the work had
been constructed as per the engineer's recommendations. At that time, I informed
you that I would need a second lett& from the engineer either approving the
method of construction or indicating, the proper procedure for the repair.
"HOME OF NATURAL BEAUTY . . A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE"
SETTLED 1763
FRANK THOMAS PAGE TWO 8/6/90
I have waited approximately two weeks for the above-mentioned letter. This-
morning I spoke with Mr. Montgomery. He informed me, that you have not contacted
him as of yet. Considering all of this information, it appears you are not
taking my requests seriously. Therefore, I will give you 48 hours from the
receipt of this letter to have Mr. Montgomery or another New York State Licensed
Architect or Engineer contact me and inform me that they are working on the
project. If no contact is made with this office at that time, I will be
compelled to commence Court proceedings.
Very truly yours,
