A "Please Letter" was mailed to the property owner on August 12, 1999. Inspection on September 9, 1999 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 on September 21, 1999, requesting abatement of the substandard conditions. A progress inspection on October 12, 1999 revealed no change at the property. Inspection on November 15, 1999 showed that the inoperable vehicles had been removed and that some yard area cleanup had occurred, however the other substandard conditions remained. Follow-up inspection on December 15, 1999 confirmed that no additional progress had been achieved. To date, no permits have been obtained, and staff has received no response from the property owner since the initiation of the case. A Notice of Hearing was mailed and posted on the property on January 10, 2000. At the time of posting, it was noted that a second address of 9325 had been posted on the front building. The inspector was unable to gain access to the rear of the property for further investigation. All interested parties have been notified. 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 March 1, 2000. However, if the required permits are obtained, and sufficient progress is achieved by March 1, 2000, the abatement date may be extended to April 3, 2000.
