City of Louisville Building Department Inspector: Isaias Huizar Severy Creek Roofing: Inspection Issues Throughout the process of performing inspections for Severy Creek Roofing, I have been misled, misinformed, and received little cooperation when dealing with corrections. Because of this, the entire inspection process was made to be very difficult to work with in order to be able to have the roof built per code, which seemed to not be of an importance to Severy Creek. There were three major instances in which Steve Louden appeared to be deliberately avoiding to install new roofs per code. This came through avoiding phone calls, Tying about not being able to meet at job sites in order to address corrections, and lying about the state in which his re -roof were at as far as code requirements. 1. The first instance happened during the summer of 2018, at 674 West Sagebrush, owned by Chris Brewer, where Steve Louden insisted many times that the mid roof was up to code and that the corrections l made were not true. The correction stated that the ice and water was not reaching 24 inches inside of the heated structure, and at the time it was short of about 10 inches throughout most of the roof. I spoke with Steve many times over the phone trying to coordinate a time where we could meet at the house to physically show him the correction. Throughout those conversations he insisted that i was in the wrong, and that the mid roof is up to code, while also avoiding setting up a meeting. This lasted about 1 week and a half, until i was finally able to communicate to one of Severy Creek Roofing crew leaders, while doing an inspection on a different mid roof. That morning Steve told me he was unable to meet that day because he was going to be in Denver and could not get to Louisville. While speaking with the crew leader, Steve drove by and pulled over, not knowing that i was the inspector at the time. I introduced myself and asked him to please follow me to the house we have been discussing for so long, which he did, and finally was able to show him and his crew leader the corrections. Although he did acknowledge the corrections were true, it was still an extended period of time until he contacted me back, to perform the new mid roof inspection with the house finally meeting code, to then be able to be completed.
