Ms. Dan replied that she was unaware that it was a garage at one time. Ms. Dan replied that
converting it back to a garage would be a great expense for her, that she would rather leave it empty.
James Guerra, Building Official, stated that they will meet with Ms. Dan and her tenants. However,
the unit needs to be converted back to a garage.
Chairman Bruesch urged Ms. Dan to begin working on the List of Defects and to clean up the
property.

units. Ms. Dan stated that her tenants store their furniture in the patio since they can no longer use the garage
