Please contact Inspection Services with any questions or to schedule an inspection at 933 Terrace St., Muskegon, Ml49440 (231) 724 6758. Based upon my recent inspection of the above property I determined that the structure meets the definition of a Dangerous Building and/or Substandard Building as set forth in Section 10-61 of the Muskegon City Code. Henry Faltinowski, Building Inspector Date ) )() ' INSPECTION SUMMARY FOR: 1168 AMBROSIA (Garage) This is a 20 X 20 Block building. It is the only structure on the property. The roof covering on this building has deteriorated to a point that the roof sheeting and the roof rafters have rotted to a point that the roof is no longer structurally sound. If left exposed to the elements the roof structure will fail The fascia on this building is rotted away allowing birds to enter the building. The siding on the gable ends of the building above the block walls, is exposed to the weather and is continuing to rot away. The block walls while cunently sound do need to be tuck pointed. There is some evidence that water is starting to attack the block walls from the surface (not properly painted) as well as from the failed roof above.
