BUILDING REHABILITATION APPEALS BOARD
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGEI
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1998
RE: 2543 LA PRESA AVENUE - HEARING
The subject property consists of two, tenant-occupied single family dwellings located in the R-2
zone. The front unit, 2543 La Presa Avenue, has substandard conditions. A"Please Letter"
was mailed to the property owner on September 18, 1997. Inspection on October 7, 1997
revealed no progress. At that time, the tenant, Ms. Debra Vasquez, informed the building
inspector that the property owner, Mr. Steve Moreno, had given her notice to vacate, although
no documentation was provided.
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 15, 1997, requesting abatement of
the substandard conditions. Follow-up inspections on November 17, and December 21, 1997
revealed no change. At the time of the December 21st inspection, an additional problem, the
bathroom flooring, was brought to the attention of the building inspector. A revised list of
defects,with the one additional item, was mailed to Mr. Moreno on December 29, 1997. On
December 31, 1997, a"fax"was received from Mr. Moreno. He contends that the tenants will
not allow him access to make the necessary repairs. The tenants have informed the inspector
that Mr. Moreno's claims are false.
A Notice of Hearing was mailed and posted on the property on February 10, 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 be removed and/or corrected by April 1, 1998. However, if permits and approvals
are obtained, and sufficient progress is achieved by April 1, 1998, the abatement date may be
extended to May I, 1998.
