RE: 65 Hawes Avenue Structural Survey
As requested, Longfellow Design Build LLC (LFDB) has performed a structural assessment of
the single-family home located at 65 Hawes Avenue, Hyannis, Massachusetts and has provided a
summary of our findings in this letter report.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
LFDB was requested to conduct a site visit to inspect the single-family home to assess overall
structural stability and building code compliance, to document structural deficiencies, and to
opine as to the possibility of preserving the building.
LFDB’s scope of work included a site visit, visual documentation of existing conditions, and
letter report presenting its findings. Photographs were taken and provided in Appendix A. LFDB
did not perform an extensive existing condition survey or any testing in preparation for this
report. LFDB’s assessment only included open and accessible areas.
DESCRIPTION
The single-family home is a single story dwelling built circa 1930”s. It is approximately 2000
square foot with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The lot is approximately .09 acres. The
house affronts Hawes Avenue (north elevation).
The structure’s type of construction is Type V, conventional wood construction. The house is
built with actual width 2 inch plus rafters and joists and 2x wood stud walls. Wood bearing walls
transfer loads to wood carrying beams and sill plates. Foundation walls are concrete masonry unit
block.
OBSERVATIONS
FOUNDATION
• CMU foundation walls support the structure.
Longfellow Design Build, LLC
Page 2 of 6
• First step from exterior landing to basement stair is more than twelve (12 inches).
• Partial basement and crawl space
• Block Head and bed joints are exposed with grout degradation.
FIRST FLOOR
• The floor framing is 2x wood framing supported by wood carrying beams and exterior
walls
• Floor sheathing 1X sheathing (original) plywood sheathing (kitchen addition)
• Floor is spongy and loose in the center of the house.
• Floor is out of plumb, level and square.
• Differential settlement noted throughout the first floor.
ROOF FRAMING
• The roof framing appeared to be in fair condition with minor damage noted in the
attic.
• 1X roof planks missing in several areas.
• The roof covering is three-tab asphalt shingles which appeared to be in fair
condition.
• Rafters are not securely fastened with hold down strapping.
• Ridge board is 1”
EXTERIOR/INTERIOR WALLS
• The house is covered in cedar shingles.
• The condition of the exterior is in pour condition.
• Wall framing is 2” studs space 27”+/_ on center well above building code
allowable limits.
• Proper insulation depths within stud cavity not achievable to meet building/energy
code specifications.
• Fascia, soffit and trim boards are in poor condition with evidence of rot.
• Existing electrical system is old and exposed posing life safety issues.
• Exposed wiring noted in attic spaces.
• Exterior windows single pane glass with direct high wind exposure on three sides.
• Wood trim painted with lead based paint.
REQUIRED UPGRADES TO EXISTING STRUCTURE.
In my professional opinion upgrading the existing structure for year-round habitability
would be cost prohibitive based upon the following:
Longfellow Design Build, LLC
Page 3 of 6
FOUNDATION
• Existing structure is inadequate and shall require full replacement to adequately sized to
support all vertical lateral (wind) loading.
• Structure is within high Velocity zone and not suited for direct wave impact loading.
• Mechanical fastening shall be required to be installed with nearly impossible working
distances due to the existing structure.
FLOOR/ROOF FRAMING
• Existing floor/roof framing shall require reinforcement or replacement to satisfy current
building code requirements.
• Structure is in high wind zone with no obstructions requiring additional resistance to high
wind events.
• Lateral and Uplift reinforcement shall be required and may need additional structural
reinforcement of existing framing elements.
WALLS AND WINDOWS
• Existing wall framing to small to meet current energy code requirements. Wall framing
shall be required to be modified with additional framing to provide requisite depth for
insulation values.
• Living space shall be greatly impacted from wall infringement due to energy envelope.
• Windows shall require replacement for high wind/impact glazing.
• Due to balloon framing, fire stopping shall be required in each stud by throughout the
house.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
• Structural elements and components shall be designed to meet current building
and design code specifications.
• New structure shall be designed to resist high wind forces due to its proximity and
to the water and clear, unobstructed wind path of this hilltop structure.
• Shearwall panels with holddown mechanical fasteners shall be required.
• Compliance with all life safety regulations including wiring, water, exiting, and
thermal protection.
• New construction removes hazardous materials (lead paint) issues.
• Installation of energy efficient mechanical systems beneficial to the homeowner
and environment.
• Closed cell insulation to provide maximum energy efficiency.

CONSERVATION NOTES
PRIOR TO ANY WORK COMMENCING, THE DEP FILE NUMBER SHALL BE POSTED ON A SIGN ON THE STREET SIDE OF THE LOT
AND MAINTAINED IN A VISIBLE CONDITION THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT.
THE LIMIT OF WORK WILL BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO ANY WORK, DEMOLITION, EXCAVATION, CONSTRUCTION OR CLEARING OF
VEGETATION, IN ORDER TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE INTERESTS OF THE ACT AND BYLAW. THE LIMIT OF WORK WILL
CONSIST OF A ROW OF STAKED SEDIMENT STOP OR COMPOST ROLL WITH SILT FENCE BACKING. THE SEDIMENT STOP ROLL
WILL BE REPLACED AS NECESSARY TO BE MAINTAINED IN GOOD CONDITION THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CONSTRUCTION
PERIOD. NO FILL WILL BE ALLOWED TO BE PLACED AGAINST THE LIMIT OF WORK AT ANY TIME. UPON COMPLETION OF ALL
CONSTRUCTION AND STABILIZATION OF THE SITE, SEDIMENT STOP ROLL WILL BE REMOVED AND PROPERLY DISPOSED OF.
NO DEBRIS, EQUIPMENT OR MATERIALS WILL BE STORED, EVEN TEMPORARILY, OUTSIDE THE DESIGNATED LIMIT OF WORK
AREA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS RELATED TO THE PLANTINGS FOR THE REQUIRED MITIGATION.
THE CONSTRUCTION SITE WILL BE CLEANED DAILY TO REMOVE ANY LOOSE DEBRIS. ALL DISTURBED AREAS WITHIN THE LIMIT
OF WORK REQUIRING RESTORATION WILL STABILIZED TO PREVENT EROSION. STABILIZATION WILL BE DONE IMMEDIATELY
FOLLOWING COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION.
WORK LIES COMPLETELY WITHIN PREVIOUSLY DISTURBED AREAS.
