Rehab Appeal Board - Item 2A - 3045 Muscatel AveMAYOR: MARGARET CLARK MAYOR PRO TEM: JAY T IMPERIAL COUNCILMEMBERS: ROBERT W. BRUESCH GARY A. TAYLOR JOE VASQUEZ TO: FROM: DATE: RE: Poscmcad HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS BUILDING REHABILITATION APPEALS BOARD FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER NOVEMBER 16, 2000 3045 MUSCATEL AVENUE - HEARING The subject property consists of a single family dwelling with extensive unpenmitted construction and conversions. There appear to be five dwelling units. At the initiation of the case, all units were tenant-occupied. The property is zoned R-1. A "Please Letter" and "bulky item" trash notice were mailed to the property owner on April 12, 2000. On May 3, 2000, Mrs. Martinez, the property owner, submitted a plan to Planning Department attempting to legalize the rear building which contains two of the unpermitted units. There is also an unpenmitted addition to the garage which is being used for living purposes. In addition, the main house has been divided into two separate units. Planning Department staff denied the plan submitted by Mrs. Martinez. The building lacks the required rear setback, in addition to being too close to the main dwelling. On May 15, 2000, the building inspector spoke with the property owner. Mrs. Martinez indicated that she would obtain a permit and commence demolition of the unpermitted construction. The Building Official declared the property substandard and filed a Declaration of Substandard Property with the Los Angeles County Recorder's office. A "Thirty Day" certified letter was mailed and posted on the property on May 24, 2000, requesting abatement of the substandard conditions. Inspection on June 12, 2000 revealed no progress. Follow-up inspection on June 26, 2000 showed no change at the property. Subsequent inspections in July, August, and September revealed no change at the property other than the fact that the rear building appeared to have been vacated. All trash, junk and debris remained scattered throughout the property, and no removal of the unpermitted work had occurred. Inspection on October 9, 2000 indicated minor yard area cleanup and the removal of an unpermitted shed: No other progress was evident and, to date, no permits have been obtained. A Notice of Hearing was mailed and posted on the property on November 7, 2000. All interested parties have been notified. REHV"11B LEA NOV 2 00 2000 ITE A No.Z .4 - 8838 E. VALLEY BOULEVARD • P.O.
