MEMORANDUM
TO: Brian Minyard, Planner II
FROM: Chuck Givens, Building Codes Manager
SUBJECT: 1020 Rock Street (Unsafe Structure)
DATE: January 18, 2007
On January 17, 2007, I made an inspection at the above referenced address.
This is a commercial building constructed of wood and masonry that has been
extensively damaged by a fire. Basically there are four exterior walls remaining and
some interior wood members. The exterior walls do show some visual signs of cracks
and part of the southwest corner is completely missing. Also the front wall, which is
elevated above the former glass windows, shows signs of downward pressure because of
the lack of support and damage as a result of the fire.
In view of all these conditions and also the recommendation of the Little Rock Fire
Marshall's report (see attached), I have come to the conclusion that the structure should
be razed and removed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 371-4828.
