TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER > DATE: NOVEMBER 02, 1999 SUBJECT: 7646 NEWMARK AVENUE-REHEARING The subject property consists of an owner-occupied single family dwelling with a detached garage which consists of an unpermitted illegal conversion on the lower level and an unpermined illegal unit on the upper level. The property is zoned R-l. The aforementioned garage was constructed with benefit of permits in 1983 as a 525 square foot single story structure. This propeny was previously before the Appeals Board on August 24, 1999 and September 28, 1999. At the September 28th Hearing the Appeals Board directed staff to meet with the property owner Ms. Bohne to verify if the unsafe conditions in the bathroom on the lower level of the garage had been rectified. A time and date were arranged at the hearing. The inspection was to take place on Wednesday, September 29th at 6:00 p.m.. Board member Imperial, Planning Director Lyons and Building Official Bailey met on the site at 6:00 p.m.. When they arrived they were met in front of the property by Mr. Bohne, the property owner's husband. Mr. Bohne indicated he thought the inspection was to take place the following day. He further stated he could not understand why the City was taking action against them. When Board member Imperial asked if we could enter the property to inspect Mr. Bohne denied access. In a further discussion with Board member Imperial and staff Mr.Bohne stated he came to City Hall several years ago to obtain the necessary permits and approvals to convert the garage however, was denied approval because it did not meet the code requirements. Mr.Bohne indicated since he could not get approval, he performed the work illegally without necessary permits and approvals. Board member Imperial again asked for permission to inspect the property and Mr.Bohne again denied access. Mr. Bonne continued by stating he had no intentions of correcting the Substandard Conditions and Building/Zoning code violations and that the Attorneys and Judges would decide the outcome.

At that time you advised that you would probably be calling me the following Monday or Tuesday regarding revisions. Not having heard from you, I called your office on September 21st and was told of a backlog in your department, but that someone would get back to me that day or the following. I have not yet received a return call. In light of Mr. Bailey's expressed concern as to my expediting this matter, as well as the counsel 's desire to move this along, and as I suspect the submitted plans will need some revising, and the fact that your office is closed tomorrow, would you please have someone call me today. Thank you. Sincerely, Ruth Ann Bohne (213) 612-8820 (104) cc: Steven Bailey, Building Official O r TO: HONORABLE CIiAII2MAN AND MEMBERS BUILDING REHABILITATION APPEALS BOARD FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPl, CITY MANAGER DATE: SEPTEMBER 21, 1999 SUBJECT: 7646 NEW'MARK AVENUE-REHEARING The subject property consists of an owner-occupied single family dwelling with a detached garage which consists of an unpermitted conversion on the lower level and an unpermitted unit on the upper level. The property is zoned R-1. The aforementioned garage was constructed with benefit of permits in 1983 as a 525 square foot single story structure. This property was previously before the Appeals Board on August 24, 1999. At that time the property owner Ms. Bohne requested the unpermitted conversions be allowed to remain while an addition to the dwelling was being constructed. The Appeals Board directed staff to meet with the property owner on site and perform a more in-depth inspection of the interior of the garage. The purpose of the inspection is to determine if any hazardous conditions exist and to compile a cost estimate to demolish the unpermitted conversion on the lower level and to legalize/convert the unpermitted unit on the upper level to a usable storage room. On August 31, 1999, the Building Official, Steve Bailey met with the property owner on the site. Ms. Bohne signed a consent to enter form and permitted an inspection of the garage interior. The property owner had exposed a portion of the unpermitted construction. The Building Official observed the drainage system for the bathroom was =vented. When the owner was questioned about the location of the vent she indicated she did not know but would ask her husband. The owner phoned the following day and stated the reason the vent had not been properly extended to the exterior was because it would possibly alert the City of an illegal installation. The elect-ice] system in the bathroom was not functioning and therefore was unable to be tested. The bathroom lacks the required ground fault protection on the electrical outlet. The property owner has requested the storage area on the upper level be allowed to remain. The floor system does not meet the minimum structural design loads for storage areas. Also observed during the inspection was the installation of laundry facilities on the building exterior which includes a gas line, electrical and drainage piping installation. The laundry facilities are situated under an unpermitted patio overhang which is attached to the southern wall of the garage and extends to within approximately (6")six inches of the south property line. A revised list of defects was compiled and mailed to the property owner. On September 2, 1999,Ms.Bohne phoned and said she was prepared to submit plans for the addition to the dwelling. To date,plans have not been submitted for plan check. A notice of hearing was mailed and posted on the property on August 26, 1999. CITY BUILDING OFFICLAL'S RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Appeals Board find the property substandard and order that all substandard conditions be removed or corrected by October 28, 1999. However, if the required permits are obtained for the corrective work and sufficient progress is achieved by October 28,1999, Me abatement date may be extended to November 28, 1999; or, if plans for the addition to the dwelling are submitted by October 28,1999,the abatement date may be extended to allow sufficient time for the plan checking process.However,plans must be approved and permits obtained no later than November 28, 1999. The correction of the unsafe conditions in the bathroom area on the lower level must be completed by November 28, 1999 to allow temporary use during the construction of the addition. The addition shall be completed by March 28, 2000 at which time all outstanding substandard conditions shall be abated The aforementioned shall be completed prior to final approval and occupancy of the new addition. • August 31, 1999 LIST OF DEFECTS (REVISED) SUBSTANDARD CONDITIONS GARAGE 1.

Rosemead, CA 91770 RE: 7646 NEWMARK AVENUE/CITY OF ROSEMEAD Dear Mr. Guerra; In light of the enclosed loan denial, I am requesting that the City of Rosemead remove its "Declaration of Substandard Property" from the title at the County Recorders office for a period of six months to allow for financing Phase I of construction as suggested to you in my letter of August 5, 1999. I would further request that the "Declaration" remain off title for a period of 12 months from the completion of Phase I, to allow for financing of Phase II of construction. It is agreed that at the end of Phase II, the bathroom will be removed from the garage and thereby render reinstatement of the "Declaration" unnecessary. Please advise me whether this proposal is acceptable to the City. Sincerely, Ruth Ann Bohne (213) 612-8820 Enclosure BANCO POF LAR 2133 W.

The tenant, Mr. Bohne, warned the inspector to leave the property and to obtain a warrant for any further inspections- Despite this confrontation, the inspector was able to compile a list of defects. A "Please Leper" was mailed to the property owner on September 15, 1996. On October 7, 1998, the building inspector returned to the property with Assistant City Manager, Donald Wagner. Mk Bohne provided access to the interior of the garage. 71 was noted that the attic area had been converted to living space, including a stairway, bathroom, skylight and windows. Mr. Bohne was advised of the necessity of permits and approves. A revised list of defectswas compiled and mailed to Mr. Che;rin_Ilon, the propeny owner. A follow-up inspection on November 10, 1995 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" cenifed letter was mailed and posted on the proper): on November 7 6, 7 996, requesting abatement of the substandard conditions.
