TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER OCTOBER 17, 2000 7843 - 7845 WHITMORE STREET - HEARING The subject property consists of two single family dwellings and a garage conversion with an unpermitted addition. At the initiation of the case, all units were tenant occupied. The property is zoned R-2. A "Please Letter" was mailed to the property owner on February 14, 2000. On March 6, 2000, the building inspector gained access to the interior of the garage conversion. Inspection revealed that the addition to the garage had been converted to a fourth unit. A revised list of defects was compiled and mailed to the property owner. 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 March 20, 2000, requesting abatement of the substandard conditions. A "bulky item" trash notice was sent to both the property owner and the tenants on April 12, 2000. Inspection on April 20, 2000 revealed that demolition of some interior walls had commenced in the garage and addition areas. A follow-up inspection was conducted on May 18, 2000, but no change or progress was evident. The building inspector attempted to call the property owner, however, the telephone number on record had been disconnected. Progress inspections in June, July, August and September showed no change at the property. The debris from the demolition work has not been cleared. Staff had no contact with the property owner and, to date, no permits have been obtained. It appears that the garage units are no longer occupied. A Notice of Hearing was mailed and posted on the property on October 5, 2000. All interested parties have been notified. On October 10, 2000, the property owner came to City Hall. He told the building inspector that he intended to submit plans for Planning Department review. ITERA No. Z•.~ REHAB AG OCT24-2000 CITY BUILDING OFFICIAL'S RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board find the property substandard and order that all substandard conditions be removed and/or corrected by December 1, 2000. However, if the required permits are obtained, and sufficient progress is achieved by December 1, 2000, the abatement date may be extended to January 2, 2001. October 5, 2000 Juan F.
