It needs to become more stabilized in structure and capable to withstand force from weight being applied to it.

To resolve the noncompliance the homeowner must reconcile the missing bolts and ensure the safety of the infrastructure. It is advised to discontinue use until completion of this is done. The screened in patio with play equipment is adequate to use during the time of completionl.
