PROPERTY APPELLANT 58-83-H 774 Laurel Avenue Mada Parker APPEARANCE: Mada Parker, Owner and Shurman Duran, Ms. Parker's son SUBJECT: Request additional time so that contractors can complete the work stipulated in the city's letter of June 20, I983. . PROCEEDINGS: Ms. Parker stated that in February when she appeared before the board, she felt there were only three things which needed to be completed and yet now the inspector is telling her to. do more: Alice Bi�jani exp?ained to her that in June 1983, an original list of �v�a2.a�ifln� was is'sued -- it was quite lengthy and to be compl.eted bv August 22, 1983. In September Ms. Parker appeared before the board and was granted a 90 day extension of time to complete the work on condition she obtain financing and complete some of the items immediately. Ms. Bijjani feels "Ms. Parker then focused on the items to be done immediately and forgot about the others that she had been given considerable time on. This explains Ms. Parker's confusion on only havinq three items to do. Everything was not done that was to be finished in 30 days and the inspector is now 1.00king at the complete list that was originally issued in June '83. Ron Glassman reiterated that there is nothing new -- this is the list from last June. When you came before the board we said some of these items were serious and should be taken care of right away and the others we gave you additional time on. . • Ms. Parker explained she is using her own money rather than obtaining outside funds and paying interest. Alice Bijjani suggested to the board that in view of this fact,� they may want to look at a different time frame as she will not be obtaining the money all at once. Shurman Doran, Ms. Parker's son, explained they have spent in excess of $4000 already on repairs and he feels there is some problem with the f�irst contractor they retained as he did not fulfill his contract to their satisfaction. They now have a new contractor who has done considerable work and Mr. Doran feels confident if they can have an additional 6 months time, the work will be accomplished with the ----- present -contractor. BOARD ACTION: William Tilton moved to grant until on or before June 1, 1984 to complete Nos. 1, 2, and 3, on the first page of the vioiation report and No. 1 on the last page of the violation report, (the boiler room air supply) ; and that an additional three months extension be granted {September 1, 1984) to complete aIl other items on the list dated June, 1983.

PROCEEDINGS: Mr. Swanson explained there are 258 violations listed and many of them refer to the part of the building which is under construction. The previous owners, he explained, owned the building for 30 years and it was minimally maintained. Because of the ex- tensive rebuilding and reshaping the building, he is seriously off � schedule in his plan and funds. He stated he would like ta the first of the year to start the plumbing and electrical work and until June 1965 to do the rest of the work. Alice Bijjani explained to the board that this building was formerly owned by Irwin Bachrach and a lifetime variance was granted on the shared baths, but expired when it was sold to Mr. Swanson. Mr. Swanson was given three years to complete the work and correct the violations. At. the present time the inspector is not that happy with the progress he has made. . Mr. Swanson explained he has some property for sale and is seriously deficient in funding needed to complete the work. When he sells � "-` this dwelling he will have the funds to start the plumbing and electric by the first of the year. , _ - 3 - �� �'�-�9 BOARD ACTION: Rosann Bostrom moved to grant an extension until the first of the �ear (1-1985) to start work on the plumbing and the electrical; and an extension of six months (10-1-1984) to complete items that relate to the individual apartments (see i�ttachment I) ; and to grant an extension until June l, I965 to complete all other items listed in the inspection report.

IV. Items 12 - 21 - 22 - 23 refer to the condition of areas of public hallways which are subject to removal , or which have been damaged from electrical , plumbing, or construction work. I will keep these public areas free of loose plaster and peeling paint, but it is impractical to completely refinish these surfaces at this stage. V. Item 30 refers to an access hole for plumbing installation located in a concrete floor. This a�ea is not accessible to tenants, and it will be resurfaced as soon as plumbing hook- up is complete. VI . Items 33-36 refer to bathroom wall and flooring repair. � They have been damaged due to a water leak which I believe originates in a below-grade foundation problem.
