lG�G Building Division Memorandum
Date: March 25, 2011
To: David Kuhl, Director
From Christopher J. Young, Building Official
Re: 910 Medical Center Drive
I attended a Board Meeting with the Norwood Condominium Association at Haller Middle School
last night at 7pm. Approximately 50% of the condo owners were present to voice their
concerns about some construction defects that were discovered with the exterior balconies.
The eight buildings were constructed from 2005 through 2007 and all the units received their
Certificate of Occupancies.
Evidence of water intrusion started appearing on or around the exterior decks of most of the
units. There are 40 units, five in each of the eight buildings, and all the units have an exterior
deck. Pacific Engineering Technologies was contracted by the Board to conduct a study as to
why the water damage is occurring. The report from PET is pretty comprehensive and it
appears that the exterior building envelope (flashing, barriers, and overall poor workmanship)
has contributed to the water intrusion.
The first half hour of the meeting consisted of dialog between the Board and the Association
without the Attorneys present. The Firm of Stein, Flanagan, Sudweeks, & Houser have been
recommended by PET to represent the Association and would be showing up to discuss the
issue from 7:30 to 8:OOpm. Neither party was aware that I was there as an observer, which
allowed both parties to speak candidly about the issue. The attorneys would be excused at
8:OOpm and then I would address the Association about the issues.
The dialog between the Board and the Association was a pretty heated discussion, mainly due
to the monies spent thus far with no remedy of the situation. $6,000.00 had already been paid
to PET for their investigation and report of the water intrusion. The Attorney urged the
Association to consider hiring his firm to initiate a lawsuit before the time limits run out. He
referred to the Condominium Act, RCW 64.34 in that they would have to file within 5 years of
the recording of the purchase. Three of the units received C of O's in 2006 and the deadline to
file would be in April. The Attorney appeared to have the Association moving towards the
litigation route but failed to mention an important piece of legislation, RCW 64.55, which is the
Construction Defect Disputes Law. Why he chose to leave this information out is unclear as it
is a very specific piece of legislation that deals with this very issue.
I spoke to the Association at approximately 8:15pm until 9:OOpm and explained the role of the
building inspector's and the building code. Two sections of the IBC were quoted, both in the
report from PET and by the Attorney present. The two sections of reference are Section 1404.2
and 1405.3 and both deal with flashing and underlayment criteria for the exterior envelope, of
which, are allegedly installed 'not to code' per the attorney and the report. I brought Section
RCW 64.55.020 and 64.55.030 to the Association's attention, which requires the Developer to
provide an engineered exterior envelope design prior to permitting and also a qualified
inspector to oversee the installation throughout the course of construction. Neither appeared to
have been done by the Developer.
I recommended that the Board discuss these particular sections of the RCW with the attorney
and make a decision based on the process outlined in the law. I assured them that I,
representing the city, would assist them in getting this situation taken care of. Of course the
Attorney made the situation appear to be much worse than it actually is and quoted figures such
as 1 million dollars to fix the problem. Their fee would be 30%. Norwood Glen was the
Developer, who went bankrupt and was bought up by Horizon Bank. Horizon Bank's assets
were seized during the banking industry debacle and then taken over by WA Federal. The
Attorney claims that the Developer carried five insurance policies at the time of development at
$1,000,000 each.
The interesting part to this whole thing is that the RCW 64.55 legislation was passed in 2005
which obviously includes language that implicates Municipalities that enforce the 'Codes.'
Typically, when this occurs the State Building Code Council would add code language into the
applicable code, this being the IBC in this case, which reference the particular legislation. This
is accomplished through a Washington State Amendment during the code cycle. Some type of
amendment should have been added to Chapter 14, Exterior Walls, indicating that an RCW
exists that implicates a building department. This was never done. There would be no way for
a building department to even know that such legislation exists even though the building
department is responsible to adhere to the procedures outlined within.
I know this is a lot of information and it may be necessary to sit down and go over the points in
detail. I wanted to brief you on the meeting and give you a heads up to share with Executive
because once the Attorney's get involved we may be pulled into the game.
2006 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE
1403.2 Weather protection. Exterior walls shall provide
the building with a weather-resistant exterior wall envelope.
The exterior wall envelope shall include flashing as
described in Section 1405.3. The exterior wall envelope
shall be designed and constructed in such a manner as to
prevent the accumulation of water within the wall assembly
by providing a water-resistant barrier behind the exterior
veneer,as described in Section 1404.2,and a means of
draining water that enters the assembly to the exterior. An
air space cavity is not required under the exterior cladding
for an exterior wall clad with panel siding made of
plywood,engineered wood,hardboard,or fiber cement.
Exceptions: S�
I. A weather-resistant exterior wall envelope shall not be
required over concrete or masonry walls designed in
accordance with Chapters 19 and 21,respectively.
2. Compliance with the requirements for a means of
drainage,and the requirements of Sections 1404.2 and
1405.3,shall not be required for an exterior wall
envelope that has been demonstrated through testing to

Dear Mr, Sudweeks:
This report has been prepared to briefly discuss the preliminary findings of our limited
building envelope investigation. Our investigation found that there ale iri rnexous
locations where the exterior building envelope is not constructed in accordance with
building code requirements or industry standards. This noncompliant construction was.
found to be allowing nnoistu; intrusion in places, which i5 causing damage;to;the
underlying wall sheathing and Raining: If requested,we-Will prepare a more;detailed
report describing our investigation`arid coticiusioris on each of the construction problems
described in this report.

dufing which time portions of the exterior fiber-ceinent board siding and trim_were
removed and.the underlying conditions reviewed.
CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
Prese»tlywe have not received a set of construction drawings for review, It is oils
understanding that the liuil_dings were constructed in 2006. As a result, our review is
based on the nssurnpt.10. that the:2003 edition of the International Building Code,(IBC)
was in effect at the time that these buildings received their building pennits. If it turns
out not to be the code the buildings were corrstrubted under;we reserve the riglit>to revise
the code references to the actual,code that was used.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Norwood Glen.Condominiums complex consists of eight two-story buildings located
on Medical Center Drive in Arlington,Washington. There are five residential units in
each building(40 units total). It is our understanding.that these buildings were
constructed in 2006.
The exterior walls consist of fiber-cement board siding over building paper applied over
oriented strand board (OSB)or plywood sheathing attached to wood studs. The interior
wall and ceiling finishes are gypsum wallboard, The windows typically Have'viiiy]
frames.
The roof consists of composition shingles over underlaynient on wood sl ea'thi ig
supported by wood trusses.
SUMMARY OFPREMIMINARY FINDINGS
Our investigation found that there are numerous locations where the exterior building
envelope is not constructed in accordance with building code requirements or industry
standards. The construction deficiencies found during our investigation include,but.a_re
not limited to,the following:
A. Front Deck
1, Improper installation of self-adhesive ff"shirig over th 'top of tlhe W
guardrail wall that is not sloped to drain. Moisture has collected on the;fop.
surface of the self-adhesive flashing and has seeped through the fastener
penetrations,which.has caused decay damage to the underlying OSB guardrail
wallsheathing and wood guardrail framing. The lack of slope is contrary to the
installation instructions published by Grace, the manufacturer of the self-adhesive
flashing; and contrary to Section 1405.3 of the 2003 IBC.
2. Improper installation of the fiber-cement board cap over the guardrail wall
that is not sloped to drain: The installation allows moisture to collect on the top
surface of the guardrail cap. The thoisture has seeped through joints'in the
guardrail cap and has contributed to the moist conditions and decay inside the
guardrail wall discussed in itemm 1 oo.A.1 above. The installation is contrary to
industry standards such:as those published by zanies Rardie:
3. Improper omission of saddle flaihin,g at the guardrail-to-building Mill
interface. The omission of saddle flashing has likely contributed tothe moisture
intrusion and decay discussed in Items No.A:1 and A.2 above. The omission is
contrary to Section 1405.3 of the 2603 IBC.
11038.rpt.doc 2122111 2
4. Improper absence of flanges and drip edges'on the deck drdiirage scupper.
The omission of a drip edge has caused heavy discoloration of the fiber-cement
bbard siding, which allows water to run back along-the underside of tine scupper
and into the wall assembly and will cause its premature:deteriorat`ion. The.
otnimioin of flanges am the scupper prevents"the scupper fiom being properly
integrated with the weather-resistive system, Due to the absence of flanges, the
'building paper stopped at the:edges of the scupper-aid was not lapped. Such
terminations can allow moisture intrusion behind the edges of the building paper
and-result i.n damage. The omission:of flanges and a drip edge are contrary to
industry standards such as the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors
National Association,Inc. (SMACNA)and the requirements of Sections 1404.2
and'1.405.3 of the 2003 IBC,
5. Improper presence of an unsealed splice in the deck drainage scupper. The
unsealed splice can allow moisture intrusion into the wood guardrail wall cavity if
the scupper is flowing fiull, and is contrary to the industry standards published by
the Sheet Metal gild Air Conditioning Contractors National Association;Inc.
(SMACNA).
B. Rear Deck— Unuer Level
l:. improper absence of a saddle flashing at the deck edge4o-gu4rds ii Fvall
interface. . There, are three iron_integrated flashing sections at the,interface and the
edge of the plywood:deck sheathing is visible through a gap between the
flashings. The gap has allowed moisture intrusion as evidenced by the stains on
the underlying plywood sheathing and the eievated moisture content in the
sheathing(approximately 27 percent). Moisture,contents of 20.percent or more
are typically an indication of moisture iritrusi.on. The omission ofa saddle
flashing is contrary to Section 1405.3;of the,2003 IBC.
2. Improper omission of building paper.on the outside face of thel deck. 'lie
omission has contributed to the inoist oonclitioins described 3n;Ttetn No:'B:l above
and is contrary to Section 1404.2 of the 2003 IBC.
3. Impr1.oper omission of a sloped,self:adhesive flashing over the top ort: Ite
wood guardrail Wall. There is one layer ofbtulding;paper ipstalled over the top
of tine guardrail.. The absence of a sloped flashing membrane over the guardrail
llas allowed moisture intrusion as evidenced by the stainsand elevated=noisture
content in the plywood sheathing(approximately23:percent) 7.1 installation its
contrary to Section 1405.1 of the 2003 iBC.
4. Improper installation Of the fiber-cement board cap over the guardrail wall
enclosure that is not sloped to drain. The installation allows moisture to collect
on the top surface of the guardrail. The moisture has seeped through joints in the
11038 rpt,duc. 2172/1 I
guardrail cap and has cont6buted.to the moist conditiar s: iiside the guardrail as
discussed in Item NO.H,3 above. This installation is contrary to,industry
standards such as those published by James Hardie.
S. Improper installation of building.paper on guardrail wall behind metal drip:
flashing over fascia board. The reverse lap condition is contrary to Sections
1404.2 and 1405.3 of the`2003 IBC.
6. Improper presence of gaps in the building paper on the wood guardrail wall,
Tice omission of building paper is contrary to Section 1,404.2 of the 2003 IBC.
Improper omission of saddle flashing at the guardrail-to-building.wall and
guardrail-to-deck column interfaces. The omission of saddle flashings will
allow moisture to seep behind the building paper at the interfaces. The omissions
are contrary to Section 1405.3 of the 2003 IBC.
C. Rear Deck—Lower Level
L Improper'installation of fiber-cement board column wrap to within
approximately 1".of the adjacent grade. The installation is contrary to industry
standards such as those published by James Hardie,and may result in the
premature deterioration of the trim.
2. Possible Improper installation ofAock guardrail an screws fitto
composite decking and not into 1yood framing, Tlie installation of the screws
into the composite decking in'lieu of the wood framing may reduce the strength of
the guardrail anchorage to the point that it may not be sufficient to support the
building code-required loads. A structural analysis of the guardrail is beyond the
scope of this report.
A Windows
L Improper-installation of OexiW sill flashing and building paper over the
window sill flange at one of three windows reviewed. The reverselap
installation is dice to poor workmanship and the assembly is reliant on.the full
adhesion of a narrow wide strip.of adhesive flashing to prevent moisture
intrusion. It has been our oxpeiieitce that adhesive flashings do not adhere well to
the sills of vinyl window frames and that the adhesion breaks down over timer
Although there is also.a layer of flexible sill flashing installed behuid the window
sill flange at this location,the flashing is not integrated with the building paper
system and will not prevent moisture intrusion, The installation is contrary to:
Section 1405.3 of the 2003 IBC,the installation instructions published by Sure
Flash(the manufacturer of the self-adhesive-flashing), ASTM standard 2112-01
And the industry standard published by the Ameiicail Architectural lyianufacfiirers
Association (AAMA) titled, "Training Manual,for Residential&Light
Commercial Window and Door Installation."
I
i 638 rptAue anzn 1 4
2. Improper application of sealant and omission of bead flashing above the
lower window of double window installations: Such an application..of sealant
above a window prevents water that enters the assembly from draining to the

installation is contrary to Section 1403.2 of the 2003 IBC. In addition,-tile
installation of a sloped Bead flashing above the window is also necessaryo
promote the drainage of water out from behind the assembly and provide a proper
overlap between the weather-resistive barrier and the window head flange.
Currently, a non-adhesive, flexible flashing extends over the head flange of the
lower window approximately 3/a"to 1". The to 1" lap is contrary to the
installation instructions published by Sitre lilash, AS TM standard 1:12-0I and the
industry standard published by the AAMA. Although there is also a self:adhesive.
flashing installed behind the head flange of the lower window, it is reverse lapped
and reliant on the full adhesion of the flashing to prevent moisture intrusion.
E. Roof's
1. 'Improper installation of building,paper behind the vertical leg of the roof
step flashing(reverse lap). Although there is self-adhesive flashing installed
over the vertical leg of the step flashing, the self-adhesive flashing is poorly
adhered to the.building paper and folded over along the fail l length of the step
flashing. The reverse lap of the building paper behind the step flashing is contrary
to Section 1404.2 of the 2003 IBC.
2. Improper omission of eave and rake flashings at the roofs. The oirrissions are
contrary to industry standards, such as those published by the Asphalt Roofing
Manufacturer's Association (ARMA)and SMACNA. Stich edge and rake
flashings are intended to protect,the roof sheathing fi-001 moisture damage.
F. Bellybands
1, Improper installation of building paper behind the vertical leg of the
bellyband flashing (reverse lap)at the three locations reviewed. The
installation is contrary to Sections 1403.2 and 1405.3 of the 2003 IBC.

allowed ruoisture intrusion into the.Unit F203 storage°closet below:: The
owner reported that the roof vent was.repaired but continues to leak; -There,are
stains.on the CS13 floor sheathing inside the storage closet below.tlie-vent. We
perfornied a superficial review of the roof vennt flashing and observed no voids of
