BUILDING REHABILITATION APPEALS BOARD
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGED 7
DATE: AUGUST 19, 1997
RE: 4552 SULTANA AVENUE - HEARING
The subject property consists of an owner-occupied single family residence located in the R-1
zone. A"Please Letter" and a"bulky item" trash notice were mailed to the property owner on
April 2, 1997. Inspection on May 5, 1997 revealed further deterioration of the property. 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 on May 8, 1997, requesting abatement of the substandard
conditions. On May 13, 1997, a letter was received from the property owner, Ms. Alcantara.
She stated she was unable to correct the defects at the property and requested additional
information regarding a public hearing. On May 20, 1997, Ms. Alcantara did request a
hearing. Building Department staff responded to Ms. Alcantara's letter and offered to meet
at the property. On May 29, 1997, Steve Bailey, Supervising Building Inspector, met with Ms.
Alcantara at the site. He explained the list of defects and the property rehabilitation program.
She indicated she had no financial resources to make the repairs. Mr. Bailey referred her to
the City the CDBG program. On June 3, 1997, Ms. Alcantara came to City Hall and spoke to
both Building Department and CDBG staff. She completed an application for an emergency
grant, as she currently has no running water. Unfortunately, Ms. Alcantara does not quality
under CDBG guidelines due to liens against the property as a result of unpaid trash bills.
Inspection on July 23, 1997 revealed no change.
In addition to the Building Department violations, both Fire Department and Health
Departments also have cases on the property.
A Notice of Hearing was mailed and posted on the property on August 5, 1997. All interested
parties have been notified.
