BUILDING REHABILITATION APPEALS BOARD
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER 47
DATE: MARCH 18, 1997
RE: 3144 -46 ISABEL AVENUE - HEARING
The subject property consists of an owner-occupied single family residence and a tenant-
occupied second unit. The property is zoned R-2. A "Please Letter" was mailed to the
property owner on August 20, 1996. Inspection on September 3, 1996 revealed no progress.
The Building Official declared the property substandard and filed a Declaration of
Substandard with the Los Angeles County Recorder's office. A"Thirty Day" certified letter
was mailed and posted on the property on September 18, 1996, requesting abatement of the
substandard conditions. A"bulky item"trash notice was sent to both the owners and tenants
on October 2, 1996. On October 10, 1996, Mr. Lee the property owner, came to the public
counter and indicated to staff that he intended to remove the unpermitted patio at 3144 Isabel
Avenue. Inspection on October 21, 1996 revealed that the patio had been partially dismantled,
but no progress had been made on the remaining list of defects. Another inspection was
requested for October 29, 1996, however no one was home when the building inspector arrived
at the site. Follow-up inspections on December 3, 1996 and January 6, 1997 revealed the
substandard conditions remained unchanged. Another"bulky item" trash notice was mailed
to the owners and tenants on January 8, 1997. Inspections on February 4 and March 4, 1997
revealed only minor progress.
A Notice of Hearing was mailed and posted on the property on March 11, 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 May 1, 1997. However, if permits and approvals are
obtained, and sufficient progress is achieved by May 1, 1997, the abatement date may be
extended to June 2, 1997.
