DATE: January 20, 1997
RE: 3447-3449 BARTLETT AVENUE- HEARING
The subject property consists of two vacant single family residences located in the R-1 zone.
A'Please Letter"was mailed to the property owner on June 24, and a"bulky item" trash notice
was sent to both the owner and tenants on July 9, 1996. Inspection on July 25, 1996 revealed
no progress. The Building Official declared the property substandard and filed a Declaration
of Substandard with the Los Angeles County Recorder's office. A"Thirty Day" certified letter
was mailed and posted on the property on August 7, 1996, requesting abatement of the
substandard conditions. On August 20, 1996, contact was made with Mr. Sema, the property
owner, and access was gained to the rear of the property. Additional violations were noted and
a revised list of defects was sent to the owner. On September 5, 1996, the tenant at 3449
Bartlett Avenue phoned and advised Building Department staff that he had rented a bin and
would be cleaning the property. A follow-up inspection was attempted on September 10, 1996,
however the yard gates were locked. On October 2, 1996, another "bulky item" trash notice
was sent. Inspections were attempted again on October 11, and November 12, 1996, but the
gates remained locked. Telephone contact was made with Mr. Sema and he advised staff that
the tenant at 3449 Bartlett Avenue would vacate by November 15, 1996, and that he would call
back to arrange for inspection. No reply was received, and on December 12, 1996 and January
2, 1997,inspections were again attempted. The inspector could not enter the property because
of the locked gates, but there was no visible improvement observed.
A Notice of Hearing was mailed and posted on the property on Janury 13, 1997. All
interested parties have been notified.

Dear Rosemead Property Owner:
As you probably know, the City of Rosemead has had in effect for some time, a Building
Rehabilitation and Property Maintenance Program.
The purpose of this Program is to provide continued health, safety, and welfare for all City residents.
I know that you, as a responsible citizen, are interested in the present and future well-being of your
community and realize this interest can best be served by making this area an enjoyable place to live
and work.
With this thought in mind, the Property Rehabilitation Program is designed to assist you in improving
your property by pointing out unsafe or unsightly conditions which are detrimental to our community
as a whole, and your property in particular.
You, as an owner, can best accomplish the objectives of the Program by prompt compliance. To
familiarize you with these conditions, and to aid you in solving your particular problem, we are
enclosing a list of defects. If you have any questions, please contact the inspector whose name is
listed on the request.
