TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER �`�/ DATE: MARCH 16, 1999 RE: 2221 GLADYS AVENUE - HEARING The subject property consists of a tenant-occupied, two-story duplex and garage conversion. The property is zoned R-I. A "Please Letter" was mailed to the property owner on August 19, 1998. On August 26, 1998, the owner came to City Hall to discuss the list of defects. The building inspector explained the violations and advised the owner of the record search procedure. Inspection on September21, 1998 revealed no change. 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 September 29, 1998, requesting abatement of the substandard conditions. A progress inspection was conducted on October 27, 1998. At that time the inspector gained access to the interior of the lower unit. Several additional defects were noted and a revised list of defects was compiled. The revised list was mailed to the property owner. A follow-up inspection on November 30, 1998 revealed no change at the property. On December 22, 1998, the owner provided the record search results from Los Angeles County. The report indicated an original permit issued in 1935 to construct a two-story single family dwelling and a garage. Later that year, another permit was issued for a 210 square foot shed for "chickens and tools". Planning Department staff reviewed the case and determined the structure must be converted back to a single family dwelling. This includes the reconversion of the lower level to a usable two-car garage, as originally permitted. Inspections on January 28, and February 23, 1999 revealed no change at the property. A Notice of Hearing was mailed and posted on the property on March 8, 1999. All interested parties have been notified. REHAB AGENDA MAR 2 31999 ITEM No. // . 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 May 3, 1999. However, if the required permits are obtained, and sufficient progress is achieved by May 3, 1999, the abatement date may be extended to June 1, 1999. /y����lE 9r Q $ mead MAI On; RpEL.v v1uCc:., MAYOR PRO TEM. .O-PASCLUEZ Z7 r.LA Rs' 6638 E.
