TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
BUILDING REHABILITATION APPEALS BOARD
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER
DATE: SEPTEMBER 21, 1999
RE: 2722 DEQUINE AVENUE - HEARING
The subject property consists of an owner-occupied single family dwelling with an unpermitted,
tenant-occupied, garage conversion. The property is zoned R-2. A "Please Letter" was mailed to
the property owner on March 10, 1999, and a "bulky item" trash notice was sent on April 5, 1999.
Inspection on April 6, 1999 revealed no visible progress, although access onto the property was not
gained due to dogs in the yard. The Building Official declared the property substandard and filed a
Declaration of Substandard Property with the Los Angeles County Recorder's Office. On April 14,
1999, a"Thirty Day" certified letter was mailed and posted on the property, requesting abatement
of the substandard conditions. The letter was returned "unclaimed" and was sent again via first class
mail.
Inspections were attempted on May 17, and June 17, 1999, but again, no access was gained due to
the dogs. On July 13, 1999, another "bulky item" trash notice was mailed to the property owner.
On July 20, 1999, an inspection was finally arranged. No progress had been made. The tenants
claimed that the property had sold. St aft-ordered an updated title report. The report did not reflect
any change other than the City's Declaration of Substandard Property Notice.
On August 25, 1999, the inspector again visited the property The dogs were still on the premises,
but no progress was visible from the public way. To date, no response has been received from the
property owner, and no permits have been obtained.
A Notice of Hearing was mailed and posted on the property on September 14, 1999. All interested
parties have been notified.
REHAB AGENDA
SEP 281999
ITEM No. 4
CITY BUILDING OFFICIAL'S RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board find the property substandard and order that all substandard
conditions be removed and/or corrected by December I, 1999_ However, if the required permits are
obtained, and sufficient progress is achieved by December I, 1999, the abatement date may be
extended to January 1, 2000.
