The
annex was constructed from 1958-1959. (P1)
The approximate size of the annex is 17,000 square feet with three stories, (P2, P4, P5, P6). This building is not on the historical

Exterior
Walls |
The foundation of the annex is concrete. The exterior walls of the annex are half
brick and half metal framework. There
is no evidence of settlement of the foundation. The walls of the annex do have some water
staining surrounding the top of the building (P7). |
Clean

Roof |
The
roof on the annex is a flat built up roof, (P8). The roof has a continuous leaking problem,
as the problems occur they are fixed.
It is original to the annex’s construction and in very poor
condition. |
Replace
the roof with a rubber membrane and slope with tapered insulation. |

Windows
and Doors |
The
windows throughout the annex are Jalousie windows with single pane glass, aluminum
frames. They are in good condition (P9). The
main doors (1st floor) for the annex are aluminum frame with
single pane glass, (P10,
P11). The 2nd floor door is steel door

Fire
Safety |
The
annex contained exit signs. The annex lacked a sprinkler system. The fire alarm control panel for the annex
is located in the mechanical room on the 1st floor and was not in
operation at the current time, (P35). There are two enclosed fire exit staircases
in the annex, (P26, P27). None of the exits out of the building had
panic hardware installed on them. The
building had a fire alarm system with horns, automatic and manual detection
equipment. It lacked an annunciator
panel, strobes. |
Install
a new fire alarm system with an annunciator panel, horn and strobes. Install
panic hard ware all exit doors. No
sprinkler system needed. |
$ 5,000 $ 4,000 |
|
ADA |
The
Annex has an ADA parking space in the parking lot to the right of the
building, (P13). It does not have proper signage and lacks
an unloading area. There is a small
ramp leading up to the sidewalk, (P14). The sidewalk leads to a ramp that accesses
the 2nd floor doorway. The
entrance door is not easy to open. The
building has an elevator shaft but lacks the installment of the
elevator. Therefore, there is no
access to the 1st or 3rd floors for the handicap. There
are public restrooms located on the first floor that are not accessible and
that do not meet ADA requirements (P19). The
doors do not have lever handles or ADA compliant signage. The
courtroom does not have a ramp to the witness stand or judge’s bench. |
Upgrade
the accessible parking space to be ADA compliant. Install
an elevator in the existing shaft. Upgrade
the bathrooms to be ADA compliant. New
lever handles New
signage Install
a ramp for the witness stand and judge’s bench. |

Structure
|
No
structural problems to report. |
|
|
|
Security |
The
only form of security for the building was the panic alarm on the
magistrate’s bench. |
Provide
entry-level screening using a walk-through metal detector and an x-ray
machine. Install
alarmed exit doors at all non-public entrances Install
additional duress alarms as needed. Prosecution
and defense witnesses should have separate witness rooms and rest rooms to
avoid threats and assaults. The
bench and clerk’s desk should be protected on the front and sides that have
public exposure with ballistic material. All
light switches should be replaced with key-controlled switches, and breaker
boxes should be locked. |

Electrical |
The
main electrical service for the annex comes a Westinghouse service box, 3
phase / 4 wire, 208Y /120 V, 600 A main, which is in good condition. The communications equipment is in the mechanical / electrical room of the annex and is good condition. The room is being used for storage, which poses a fire hazard. These items should be removed. The
interior lighting of the building for the rooms is adequate. The lighting in the hallways is inadequate. |
We
recommend that the lighting situation in the annex stairwells be improved
with more fixtures. |
$ 6,000 |
|
Mechanical |
Six
different gas fired furnaces / cooling combo units feed the heating and
cooling throughout the building (P39,
P42,
P43). The condensers that feed these units are
located in the back and on the roof.
This equipment is in good condition and is adequate for the
service. |
