BUILDING REHABILITATION APPEALS BOARD
FROM: BILI~oWE, CITY MANAGER
DATE: JUNE 18, 2002
RE: 3163 - 3171 BARTLETT AVENUE - HEARING
The subject property consists of three single family dwellings located in the R-1 zone. One unit is
owner-occupied. The other two are tenant-occupied. The case was initiated in November, 2001 and
no compliance has been achieved in over seven months.
Case chronology as follows:
• November 20, 2001 - Please letter mailed to property owner.
• January 2, 2002 - Inspection. No progress.
• January 10, 2002 - Property declared substandard by Building Official and a
Declaration of Substandard Property filed with Los Angeles County Recorder's
office. 15 day certified letter mailed and posted.
• February 11, 2002 - Inspection. No progress.
• March 28, 2002 - Inspection. No progress.
• April 29, 2002 - Inspection. No progress.
• May 29, 2002 - Inspection. No progress.
Note: On September 6, 2001, a building permit was issued for an addition of a bedroom, bath and
new garage at 3171 Bartlett Avenue. On two occasions the property owner's son advised the
building inspector that revised plans would be submitted due to some revisions the owner wanted
to make to the project. Revised plans were never submitted, no inspections were ever called, and
the permit expired. (The building inspector left a telephone message reminding the owner that
permits were due to expire. Written notice was also sent).
