TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
BUILDING REHABILITATION APPEALS BOARD
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER
DATE: OCTOBER 21, 1997
RE: 2716 - 16 1/2 EVELYN AVENUE - HEARING
The subject property consists of two, tenant-occupied single family residences located in the
R-2 zone. A "Please Letter" was mailed to the property owner on July 30, 1996. Inspection
on August 29, 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
September 19, 1996, requesting abatement of the substandard conditions. Inspection on
October 22, 1996 revealed minor progress, however, no interior access was gained. On
November 5, 1996, Mr. Sinnett, the property owner, called for inspection. Interior access was
gained at 2716 Evelyn Avenue. Additional defects were noted, and a revised list of defects was
mailed to Mr.Sinnett. Progress inspections on December 2, 1996 and January 3, 1997 revealed
no progress. On January 7, 1997, a "bulky item" trash notice was sent to both the property
owner and tenants. On February 12, 1997, the building inspector met with Mr. Sinnett at the
property. Minor progress was noted, and Mr. Sinnett was reminded of the necessity to obtain
the required permits. Interior inspection was not conducted because the tenants had not been
notified. On February 20, 1997, interior access was gained at 2716 1/2 Evelyn Avenue.
Additional defects were noted, and a revised list of defects was mailed to the property owner.
On February 27, 1997, Mr. Sinnett came to City Hall to obtain the necessary permits. Planning
Department denied his application to legalize the unpermitted construction due to problems
involving density and parking. On March 10, 1997, Mr. Sinnett returned to the City and
obtained a 'Repair per Rehab" permit to correct the other deficiencies. Mr. Sinnett phoned
on March 24, 1997 to inform staff that he was in the process of evicting the tenant at 2716
Evelyn Avenue. He stated that he would commence work as soon as the unit was vacant.
REHAB AGENDA
OCT 7 g 1997
ITEM Na. 21-• 4
Progress inspections on April 11, and May 13, 1997 showed no progress. Inspection on June
12, 1997 revealed that the tenant at 2716 Evelyn Avenue had vacated. The owner was in the
process of cleaning the house so that the tenant at 2716 1/2 Evelyn Avenue could move into
that unit. Mr. Sinnett indicated he would start repairs at 2716 1/2 Evelyn Avenue once it was
vacant. Monthly inspections since July 1997 reveal that Mr. Sinnett is working, but making
very slow progress. Several defects, as well as the illegal addition, remain.
A Notice of Hearing was mailed and posted on the property on October 13, 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 removed and/or corrected by December 1, 1997.
