The property is zoned R-1. On January 27, 2000, a "Stop Work" notice was issued by the building inspector for construction in progress without the required approvals and permits. Planning Department denied approval of the proposed laundry room and patio cover and requested the unpermitted work be demolished, including the removal of the plumbing and electrical components. Planning Department also requested that the porch enclosure attached to the rear storage building be removed. Compliance was not achieved and the case was eventually referred to the Building Department Property Rehabilitation Section. Case chronology is as follows: • October 1, 2002 - "Please" letter mailed to property owner. • November 4, 2002 - Inspection: no progress. • November 19, 2002 - Property declared substandard by Building Official and a Declaration of Substandard Propertyfiled with Los Angeles County Recorder's office. 15-day certified letter mailed and posted.
