• a. 1998 Minnesota State Building Code b. 2002 Minnesota Energy Code c. 1997 Uniform Building Code d. 1992 One and two Family Dwelling Code After identifying the code deficiencies in each building, we used R.S. Means Cost Data for 2002 to determine the cost of correcting the identified deficiencies. We were than able to compare the correction costs with the replacement cost of each building to determine if it met the required 15 percent threshold. Finding: 19 of the 27 buildings (70 percent)had code deficiencies exceeding the 15 percent threshold required by State Statute. 3. System Condition Deficiencies System condition deficiencies are a measurement of defects or substantial deterioration in site elements, structure, exterior envelope,mechanical and electrical components, fire protection and emergency systems (only items 0 not covered in the code deficiencies)interior partitions, ceilings, floors and doors. The evaluation was made by reviewing all available information(from . city records) and making interior and/or exterior inspections of the buildings. We only identified deficiencies that were visible to our inspector. We did not consider the amount of"service life"used up for a particular component unless it was an obvious part of that component's deficiencies. p p p After identifying the system condition deficiencies in each building, we used R.S. Means Cost Data for 2002 to determine the cost of correcting the identified condition deficiencies. We added the system condition deficiencies repair costs to the code deficiencies repair costs to arrive at a"Total Deficiencies Cost". We divided this number into the total replacement cost for each building to determine a percentage of total deficiencies. Total deficiencies per building for this District ranged from .3 percent to 47.2 percent. Total deficiencies for buildings that meet the minimum code deficiency threshold ranged from 18.4 percent to 47.2 percent. • Page 6
