TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
BUILDING REHABILITATION APPEALS BOARD
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER
DATE: JANUARY 20, 1998
RE: 2709-I1 FALLING LEAF AVENUE - HEARING
The subject property consists of an owner-occupied single family dwelling and a second,
tenant-occupied unit. The property is zoned R-2. A "Please Letter" and a "bulky item" trash
notice were mailed to the property owner on July 7, 1997. The owner, Mrs. Franco, came to
City Hall on July 10, 1997 to discuss the list of defects. The record search procedure was
explained, and additional time was granted for Mrs. Franco to obtain information from the
County. On August 26, 1997, Mrs. Franco returned to City Hall with permit documentation
that substantiated the legality of one garage conversion, but not all of the additions.
Inspection on September 22, 1997 revealed no progress. 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 October 7, 1997, requesting abatement of the substandard conditions. The
property owner requested a meeting at the site on October 7, 1997. Mrs. Franco sent her
brother-in-law, Arturo Franco, to represent her at the meeting. He did not agree that the
illegal additions must be removed. Mr. Franco came to City Hall on November 6, 1997 to
discuss the issues with Planning Department staff. He was again informed that the
unpermitted additions could not be legalized and must be removed. He then advised staff not
to have any further contact with the owner, as she was ill and very upset. He said her attorney
would be in contact with the City.
Follow-up inspection on November 26, 1997 showed no change. To date, no permits have
been obtained, and no attorney has contacted staff regarding this case.
REHAB AGENDA
JAN 2 71998
ITEM No. 2 4.
A Notice of Hearing was mailed and posted on the property on January 12, 1998. All
interested parties have been notified.
CITY BUILDING OFFICIAL'S RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board find the property substandard and order all substandard
conditions removed and/or corrected by March 2, 1998.
