If any item or comment is unclear, you should ask the inspector to clarify the findings. It is important that you carefully read ALL of this information. This inspection is subject to the rules (“Rules”) of the Texas Real Estate Commission (“TREC”), which can be found at www.trec.state.tx.us. The TREC Standards of Practice (Sections 535.227-535.231 of the Rules) are the minimum standards for inspections by TREC-licensed inspectors. An inspection addresses only those components and conditions that are present, visible, and accessible at the time of the inspection. While there may be other parts, components or systems present, only those items specifically noted as being inspected were inspected. The inspector is not required to move furnishings or stored items. The inspection report may address issues that are code-based or may refer to a particular code; however, this is NOT a code compliance inspection and does NOT verify compliance with manufacturer’s installation instructions. The inspection does NOT imply insurability or warrantability of the structure or its components. Although some safety issues may be addressed in this report, this inspection is NOT a safety/code inspection, and the inspector is NOT required to identify all potential hazards. In this report, the inspector will note which systems and components were Inspected (I), Not Inspected (NI), Not Present (NP), and/or Deficient (D). General deficiencies include inoperability, material distress, water penetration, damage, deterioration, missing parts, and unsuitable installation. Comments may be provided by the inspector whether or not an item is deemed deficient. The inspector is not required to prioritize or emphasize the importance of one deficiency over another. Some items reported as Deficient may be considered life-safety upgrades to the property. For more information, refer to Texas Real Estate Consumer Notice Concerning Recognized Hazards, form OP-I. This property inspection is not an exhaustive inspection of the structure, systems, or components. The inspection may not reveal all deficiencies. A real estate inspection helps to reduce some of the risk involved in purchasing a home, but it cannot eliminate these risks, nor can the inspection anticipate future events or changes in performance due to changes in use or occupancy. It is recommended that you obtain as much information as is available about this property, including any seller’s disclosures, previous inspection reports, engineering reports, building/remodeling permits, and reports performed for or by relocation companies, municipal inspection departments, lenders, insurers, and appraisers. You should also attempt to determine whether repairs, renovation, remodeling, additions, or other such activities have taken place at this property. It is not the inspector’s responsibility to confirm that information obtained from these sources is complete or accurate or that this inspection is consistent with the opinions expressed in previous or future reports. Promulgated by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) P.O. Box 12188, Austin, TX 78711-2188, 1-800-250-8732 or (512) 459-6544 (http://www.trec.state.tx.us). REI 7-6 (2/1/2022) Page 1 of 17 Items identified in the report do not obligate any party to make repairs or take other action, nor is the purchaser required to request that the seller take any action. When a deficiency is reported, it is the client’s responsibility to obtain further evaluations and/or cost estimates from qualified service professionals. Any such follow-up should take place prior to the expiration of any time limitations such as option periods. Evaluations by qualified tradesmen may lead to the discovery of additional deficiencies which may involve additional repair costs. Failure to address deficiencies or comments noted in this report may lead to further damage of the structure or systems and add to the original repair costs. The inspector is not required to provide follow-up services to verify that proper repairs have been made. Property conditions change with time and use. For example, mechanical devices can fail at any time, plumbing gaskets and seals may crack if the appliance or plumbing fixture is not used often, roof leaks can occur at any time regardless of the apparent condition of the roof, and the performance of the structure and the systems may change due to changes in use or occupancy, effects of weather, etc. These changes or repairs made to the structure after the inspection may render information contained herein obsolete or invalid. This report is provided for the specific benefit of the client named above and is based on observations at the time of the inspection. If you did not hire the inspector yourself, reliance on this report may provide incomplete or outdated information. Repairs, professional opinions or additional inspection reports may affect the meaning of the information in this report. It is recommended that you hire a licensed inspector to perform an inspection to meet your specific needs and to provide you with current information concerning this property.

Texas Real Estate Consumer Notice Concerning Hazards or Deficiencies the lack of fire safety features such as smoke alarms, fire-rated doors in certain locations, and functional emergency escape and rescue openings in bedrooms; improperly installed appliances; improperly installed or defective safety devices; and lack of electrical bonding and grounding. APPROVED BY THE TEXAS REAL ESTATE COMMISSION (TREC) P.O. BOX 12188, AUSTIN, TX 78711-2188 TEXAS REAL ESTATE CONSUMER NOTICE CONCERNING HAZARDS OR DEFICIENCIES Each year, Texans sustain property damage and are injured by accidents in the home. While some accidents may not be avoidable, many other accidents, injuries, and deaths may be avoided through the identification and repair of certain hazardous conditions. Examples of such hazards include: improperly installed or missing ground fault circuit protection (GFCI) devices for • electrical receptacles in garages, bathrooms, kitchens, and exterior areas; improperly installed or missing arc fault protection (AFCI) devices for electrical • receptacles in family rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, parlors, libraries, dens, bedrooms, sunrooms, recreations rooms, closets, hallways, or similar rooms or areas; • ordinary glass in locations where modern construction techniques call for safety glass; • • excessive spacing between balusters on stairways and porches; • • • To ensure that consumers are informed of hazards such as these, the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) has adopted Standards of Practice requiring licensed inspectors to report these conditions as “Deficient” when performing an inspection for a buyer or seller, if they can be reasonably determined. These conditions may not have violated building codes or common practices at the time of the construction of the home, or they may have been “grandfathered” because they were present prior to the adoption of codes prohibiting such conditions. While the TREC Standards of Practice do not require inspectors to perform a code compliance inspection, TREC considers the potential for injury or property loss from the hazards addressed in the Standards of Practice to be significant enough to warrant this notice. Contract forms developed by TREC for use by its real estate licensees also inform the buyer of the right to have the home inspected and can provide an option clause permitting the buyer to terminate the contract within a specified time. Neither the Standards of Practice nor the TREC contract forms requires a seller to remedy conditions revealed by an inspection. The decision to correct a hazard or any deficiency identified in an inspection report is left to the parties to the contract for the sale or purchase of the home. This form has been approved by the Texas Real Estate Commission for voluntary use by its licensees. Copies of TREC rules governing real estate brokers, salesperson and real estate inspectors are available at nominal cost from TREC. Texas Real Estate Commission, P.O.

(DBA: JD Hunt Homes) 2414 Exposition Blvd. Ste D-210 Austin, TX 78703 To Whom It May Concern, I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Jason Hunt, and I am the President at JD Hunt Homes. We are writing to inform you about our plans to demo the ADU located at 1508 Pease Road per the request of the current homeowner. As part of our commitment to sustainable building practices and reducing our environmental footprint, JD Hunt Homes has decided to repurpose a significant portion of the building materials from the demolition of the ADU at 1508 Pease Road. Our goal is to minimize waste and make use of valuable resources that can be given a new life in future construction projects. Materials Repurposing Plan 1. Salvageable Lumber: We will carefully dismantle and preserve any structurally sound lumber, which will be cleaned, treated, and stored for use in new residential construction. 2. Bricks and Stone: Bricks and stone materials that are in good condition will be salvaged, cleaned, and reused in landscaping or as decorative elements in upcoming projects. 3. Fixtures and Fittings: Usable fixtures such as doors, windows, cabinets, and hardware will be removed and either reused in our new constructions or donated to local charities and non-profit organizations. 4. Metal Components: Metals from plumbing, wiring, and structural elements will be recycled, reducing the need for new raw materials and decreasing environmental impact. Community and Environmental Impact By repurposing these materials, we aim to: ● Reduce Waste: Significantly lower the volume of debris sent to landfills. ● Conserve Resources: Reduce the need for new raw materials and the associated environmental costs of extraction and processing. ● Support Local Communities: Provide quality materials to local organizations and contribute to the sustainability of our community. We believe that these efforts will not only benefit the environment but also set a positive example within the industry for responsible building practices. If you have any questions or A: 2414 Exposition Blvd Ste D-210 Austin, TX | P: 512-866-4642 | E: info@jdhunthomes.com would like to discuss this initiative further, please do not hesitate to contact us at jason@jdhunthomes.com.

I am representing the general contractor, Jason Hunt of JD Hunt Custom Homes. He has several ongoing projects in the Tarrytown / Old Enfield neighborhoods. My purpose today in stopping by is to request your signature of support in the demolition of garage apartment located at 1508 Pease. The owner of 1508 is requesting the removal of it due to its current condition. The structure served as a garage and an upstairs apartment for temporary living and Airbnb use. It has been currently inspected and its been determined that the construction is in very poor condition where it would it make more sense to demolish and rebuild. The current owner has no plans to rebuild at this time. We are only asking for your signature in support in order to include in our presentation to the City of Austin Historical Commission. Our case has been added to the HLC August 7th agenda. We fully expect for this demo permit request to be approved without question as it holds no historical value to the neighborhood and is located in the rear of the lot.
