On February 24, 2000, one of the property owners, Ann Lai, phoned and spoke with the building inspector. She informed the inspector that she would submit plans to legalize the unpermitted construction. Inspection on March 8, 2000 revealed no progress, and no plans had been submitted for approval. Follow-up inspection was attempted on April 10, 2000. No access was gained. The building inspector attempted to call Ms. Lai, but the telephone number on record had been disconnected and no new number was listed with the telephone company directory assistance. The Building Official declared the property substandard and filed a Declaration of Substandard Property with the Los Angeles County Recorder's office. A "bulky item" trash notice was mailed to both the property owners and the tenants on April 12, 2000. A "Fifteen Day" certified letter was mailed and posted on the property on April 24, 2000, requesting abatement of the substandard conditions. On May 8, 2000, Robert McCoy, who identified himself as a friend of the owners, requested a meeting with the Building Official and the building inspector to discuss the list of defects. The meeting was held on May 15, 2000. The defects were clarified and the County record search procedure was explained. On May 19, 2000, a letter was received from Mr. McCoy requesting an extension pending the results of the record search. On June 29, 2000, the building inspector spoke with Mr. McCoy. He claimed he was no longer involved in the matter, but that he would have the owners contact the Building Department.
