TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER DATE: May 19, 1998 RE: 3303 BURTON AVENUE -HEARING The subject property consists of an owner-occupied single family dwelling and a second,unpermitted unit. The property is zoned R-1. A "Please Letter" was mailed to the property owner on January 19, 1998. Mr. Philip Chow,who identified himself as a friend of the owner, phoned on February 11, 1998 in response to the letter. The list of defects and the rehabilitation process was explained to him. A follow-up inspection on February 19, 1998 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"Fifteen Day" certified letter was mailed and posted on the property, requesting abatement of the substandard conditions. On February 25, 1998,the property owner, Mr. Sheng Ping Lieu, and his friend/interpreter, Mr. Chow, came to the Building Department counter. They spoke with the inspector and agreed to abate the items on the list of defects. Inspection on March 26, 1998 showed some yard area cleanup,however the other deficiencies remained. On April 28, 1998, the building inspector met the owner at the property. Interior access to the illegal unit (converted rumpus room) was gained. Inspection confirmed that a kitchen and bathroom had been constructed without permits. The owner was advised to remove the kitchen facilities and to properly cap the plumbing. He was advised to check with Planning Department if he wished to pursue the possibility of legalizing the bathroom. An updated list of defects was mailed to Mr. Lieu on April 30, 1998. Due to the language disadvantage, the building inspector also contacted Mr. Chow with the updated information. He was also reminded of the necessity to obtain permits. A Notice of Hearing was mailed and posted on the property on May 5, 1998. All interested parties have been notified.
