1002 Maple Ave. tagged for code issues
SNOHOMISH — The yellow code enforcement papers on the doors of 1002 Maple Ave., visible from the intersection at 10th and Maple, are because the triplex built in 1986 has multiple issues.
Past and present tenants reported “mold-like substances in various rooms, heaters not operating, subfloor damaged due to leaks among some other issues based off observation of city code enforcement,” city Code Enforcer Cedric Atkins said through city spokeswoman Shari Ireton.
The building cannot be occupied until these are remedied.
It is owned by a person listed as being in Kirkland.
