HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
BUILDING REHABILITATION APPEALS BOARD
FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAG~~~
JUNE 20. 2000
3044 - 3046 SULLIVAN AVENUE - REHEARING
The subject property consists of two, tenant-occupied single family dwellings located in the R-1
zone. The rear house has an unpermitted addition that has been converted to a third unit, but is not
occupied.
This property was previously before the Board on May 23, 2000. At that time, the Board ordered
the matter be returned for Rehearing in June to the allow the property owners sufficient time to
meet with staff. Mrs. Lee came to City Hall on June 1, 2000. She had not revised her plans to
reflect the corrections that had previously been given to her by Planning Department. She spoke
with staff from both Building and Planning Departments. Once again, each department explained
their respective requirements. Mrs. Lee reiterated her objections and left without indicating her
intentions.
A Notice of Hearing was mailed and posted on the property on June 12, 2000. All interested
parties have been notified.
CITY BUILDING OFFICIAL'S RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board find the property substandard and order that all necessary
permits be obtained, and all substandard conditions be removed and/or corrected by August 1, 2000.

MEMORANDUM
STEVE BAILEY, BUILDING OFFICIAL
MILAN MRAKICH, CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER .
OCTOBER 6, 1999
3044 SULLIVAN AVE.
CASE HISTORY
8-12-99 City Code Enforcement received complaint of possible garage conversion at 3044
Sullivan Ave.
8-14-99 Mailed letter to property owner requesting an inspection of the property.
8-25-99 Property owner Woon Lee called and set up a property inspection for
Wednesday, September 1.
9-1-99 I went to the subject property of 3044 Sullivan Ave. and met with the property
owner Woon Lee. Upon my arrival Mr. Lee identified himself as an inspector for
the City of Los Angeles, Department of Public Works. Property owner Lee stated
that he has owned the property for about ten years and has not done any work to
the property. I advised him that the City had received a complaint of an illegal
conversion on the property. He again stated that he only had the two approved
units on the property and that the property was in the same condition as he had
purchased it. I admonished Mr. Lee that he could rent the two units only as
single-family dwellings and they may not be converted to duplexes without the
proper permits and approvals. Mr. Lee agreed and gave me his business card, I
then left the location.
9-5-99 Received a complaint of illegal patio enclosure and division of single family
dwelling into a duplex. I went to the location and inspected the property with one
of the tenants of the rear house. I was able to observe that the patio had been fully
9-6-99
enclosed, partition walls added, and a full kitchen installed. The tenant told me
that the property owner Mr. Lee had been advertising in the local papers the
'enclosed patio as a one bedroom duplex. The tenant stated that a lady had recently
rented the unit and was in the process of moving in. I took pictures and then left
the location.
A check of building permits shows that there are no permits for the patio
enclosure, partition walls or second kitchen.
It is requested that a property rehabilitation case be started for 3044 Sullivan Ave.
