Uncasville, Ct. 06382 On April 18, 2012, I conducted an inspection, at the above address, to verify that the Metalbestos chimney piping involved in a recent chimney fire is removed and the floor/ceiling penetrations are blocked. During my inspection I noted that the piping is removed and the penetrations are blocked. Thank you for your prompt handling of this abatement. Regards, Vernon D. Vesey II Building Official Cc: Fire Marshal File Town of Montville 310 Norwich-New London Tpke. Uncasville, Ct. 06382 03/29/12 Vincent E. and Dorothy H. Lagram 36 Porach Rd. Uncasville, Ct. 06382 The Town on Montville Fire Marshal notified my office of your recent chimney fire, and furnished me with photos of your Metalbestos SS chimney. I have researched the installation requirements for the SS pipe and based on the photos I have determined that your chimney installation is a Building Code violation as it is not installed in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements for clearance to combustibles. You must apply for a permit for re-installation of the chimney, and the re-installation must be inspected and approved. In addition, I have been in contact with the manufacturer's customer service department and,according to the manufacturer, if you intend to re use the existing piping, it must be internally inspected for any warping or distortion that may have been caused by the extreme heat of the chimney fire. The wood stove must be taken out of service until the pipe is inspected by a chimney professional and the chimney re-installation and Building Department inspections are completed. You must contact the Building Department within ten(10) days of receipt of this notice, with a plan of compliance. If you have any questions, you may contact me at the Town of Montville Building Department during regular working hours. Re:.. : ., ernon D.
