TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
BUILDING REHABILITATION APPEALS BO D
FROM: ANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGED
DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 1997
RE: 2660-62-64 FALLING LEAF AVENUE - HEARING
The subject property consists of an owner-occupied single family residence, two tenant-
occupied units and an illegal garage conversion. The property is zoned R-2. A "Please Letter"
was mailed to the property owner on November 4, 1996. Inspection on December 10, 1996
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
"Thirty Day" certified letter was mailed and posted on the property on December 17, 1996,
requesting abatement of the substandard conditions The letter was returned "unclaimed" and
was sent again by first class mail. Monthly progress inspections revealed no change. On
January 8, 1997, a "bulky item" trash notice was sent to both the property owner and tenants.
An updated "Fifteen Day" certified letter was mailed and posted on the property on July 1,
1997. While posting the letter, the building inspector made contact with the property owner,
Mr. Martinez. He stated he had no job and no funds to make the necessary repairs. He was
informed of the CDBG program, and he came to City Hall on the following day to obtain an
application. Unfortunately, Mr. Martinez does not qualify for the program due to the multiple
units on the property. Inspection on July 17, 1997 revealed no progress. Another inspection
on August 18, 1997 showed only minor yard area cleanup. The inoperable vehicles and other
defects remained.
A Notice of Hearing was mailed and posted on the property on September 9, 1997. All
interested parties have been notified.
CITY BUILDING OFFICIAL'S RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board find the property substandard and order all substandard
conditions be removed and/or corrected by November 3, 1997. However, if permits and
approvals are obtained, and sufficient progress is achieved by November 3, 1997, the
abatement date may be extended to December 1, 1997.

Subject: Residential Rehabilitation Program
Dear Mr. Martinez,
This will respond to your questions for the City of Rosemead regarding the Housing
Rehabilitation program. We have researched your questions regarding your house-type with
the following findings:
- It appears that you do not meet the criteria established for this Single Family
Rehabilitation program for the following reason:
The City's Residential Rehabilitation is for single family, owner-occupied units
only. In order for a triplex to qualify for any type of assistance under the
Residential Rehabilitation program, all units in the triplex must be owner-
-occupied, the owners must all be income eligible and all owners must desire
assistance from the City. In all other cases, no unit in a triplex will qualify for
assistance under the program.
Thank you for taking the time to ask questions. Should you have any further questions please
contact me at (818) 288-6671.
Sincerely. -
Micheal Neal

your property by pointing out unsafe or unsightly conditions which are detrimental to our community
as a whole, and your property in particular.
You, as an owner, can best accomplish the objectives of the Program by prompt compliance. To
familiarize you with these conditions, and to aid you in solving your particular problem, we are
enclosing a list of defects_ If you have any questions, please contact the inspector whose name is
listed on the request.
Thank you for your continued cooperation.
Respectfully,
