BUILDING REHABILITATION APPEALS BOARD
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGE
DATE: FEBRUARY 18, 1997
RE: 3371 BURTON AVENUE - HEARING
The subject property consists of a vacant single family residence located in the R-1 zone. A
"Please Letter"was mailed to the property owner on June 24, and a"bulky item" trash notice
was sent on July 8, 1996. Inspection on July 25, 1996 revealed the yard had been cut, but no
other visible improvement had been made. The electric meter had been shut off and locked
by Southern California Edison. A neighbor informed the building inspector that the owner
resided in a rest home and that his son was maintaining the property. 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 August 9, 1996, requesting abatement of the substandard conditions. The
letter was returned"unclaimed"and was sent again by first class mail. On September 4, 1996,
the owner's son, John Newell, contacted the building inspector. He indicated that he was in
the process of cleaning the property and that he would call back to schedule an inspection
when he could meet with the inspector at the site. A follow-up inspection was made on
September 12, 1996, however no progress was observed. On October 2, 1996, another trash
notice was sent. John Newell phoned again on October 7, 1996 to request additional time and
stated the work would be complete by the end of the month. Inspection on October 28, 1996
revealed some yard area cleanup. John Newell was present and was reminded of permit
requirements and to request inspection when the work was complete. Progress inspections
in December 1996 and January 1997 showed no additional progress. A third trash notice was
mailed on January 7, 1997.
A Notice of Hearing was mailed and posted on the property on February 11, 1997. All
interested parties have been notified.
