The minutes of the meeting of October 12 , 1982 , were approved as dis- tributed to the members. Chairman Glassman reported that h.e had recently learned that Certificates of Occupancy were no longer being withheld on properties affected by the city' s recent change in interpretation of the intent of the code in regard to stairwell enclosures in existing buildings , but tfi at at the ti�e of renewal inspection for certificates in three years , stairwell enclosures may be required, depending on the outcome of a proposed amendment to the code . Noting that there were 16 appeals on the subject being held up awaiting action on the proposed amendment , all of which were filed - 5- 11/9/82 - Meet�ng No. 190 ♦ Ms . Bijjani said that the shared bathrooms should be repaired and the sanitation improved, the heating plant and water heater should be inspected an d app roved by the state , and there were improperly capped drain lines that should be corrected. Frank Staffenson objected to lifting the placard. He said the owners had been given many time extensions over the past few years and had failed or been unable to keep their promises . BOARD ACTION: Mr. Sawyer moved that the placard be lifted and that a searen-week extension of time be granted, on the following conditions : (1) that the electrical work be completed within 30 days , (2) that the heating plant and hot water heater be serviced and approved by the state, and (3) that the shared bathrooms be repaired and maintained in a sani- tary condition. If sufficient funds to complete the rehabilitation of the building, as proposed in the new plans submitted by the appellant , are not secured by the expiration of the seven week ex�Cension period, the placard shall be reimposed.

As a self-employed general contractor in a denressed construction market , he was having some difficulty financially and his credit rating had suffered. He was now assured of a loan of $6 ,180 for the electrical work , and when his application under the new funding program was approved, the other major items , heating and nlumbing, would be completed. Under the condemnation order, however, his tenants had been given until December 1 to move , and if he was unable to show rental income , his application was in jeopardy. Alice Bijjani reviewed the experience of her office over the past few yea_rs in working with the appellants . Although well- intentioned, and recognizing that they had tried hard for funding unsuccessfully, she felt her office could not grant any further time extension unless assured that all the work would be done. She considered their financial circum- stances to be too tight. There was also much tenant unhappiness . Owners of adjacent rental pronerty did not see why they should be required to keep up their bt�ildings , when 256 Marshall was permitted to continue operating over a long period with so many major deficiencies. Janice Rettman, of the Housing �Information Agency , spoke of the need for low-cost housing, but not where problems of life safety to tenants were involved. As her office was responsible for relocating tenants of condemned buildings , i�C would be helpful to knola before winter comes in earnest if different living quarters would have to be found for resi- dents of this b uildin g. Mr. Miller, legal representative of the Bests , said there was no denying the building needed repairs , and the electrzcal work was first on the - 1ist . This will be completed by year-end. His clients h.ad experienced fin ancial problems , but closing the building would only strain them < further. They have engaged an architect and drawn up a definite plan for rehabilitating the building. He felt they had shoti�rn good faith and deserved another month to try to nail down financing. Mr. Best related that he had a lot of his own money and work at stake and had already completed many of the renairs himself, but the remaining items required professional assistance . He said his credit rating w�as beginning to improve , increasing his chances of getting approval on his loan application for $50 ,000 under the new government program. Architectural drawin gs for the proposed new rehabilitation plan were sF�own to board members . Ms . Bijjani pointed out that a variance would fi e required for two apartments to permit location of their bathrooms outside tIie walls of the units . She asked, if. this should be granted, that it be on condition that a security system be provided in the building. BOARD ACTION: Mr. Sawyer moved that a variance of Section 34 . I1 be grante to permit location of the bathroom for two apartments outside the walls of the units , on condition that a security system be provided for the buiZding. PRrs . Bostrom seconded. MOTIO'V CARRIED. THE VOTE : Ayes - 4 Nays - 0 Abstentions - 0 Chairman Glassman asked Ms . Bijjani which items in the building reQuired immediate attention if it was to remain occupied.

APPEARANCE : Thomas � P�targaret Best John Miller, Attorney PROCEEDINGS : Mr. Best said he had applied fvr a HUD loan recently 8nd ha een turned down three weeks ago , but had been told by �Varren Frost (who oversees various government funding programs at PED) that there would be a new program soon for non-owner occupied properties , and Mr. ' Best thought there was a good chance that he could qualify. He described the efforts he had made in �the years since he bought the property to obtain financing to bring it up to code . So far , he had put in about $15 ,000 of his own money, but felt he would need about $50 ,000 to com- � -2- 11/9/82 - Meeting No. 190 , . - _ . _ 2'79528 CASE N0. PROPERTY APPELLANT 71- 82-H 797 E. Maryland Nan Jacobson (two units) � n "r+.T�4+"`k'��.<_ SUBJECT : Request variance of Section 34. 11 , pertaining to basic facilities , to permit continued use of unit where bathroom lacks a handsink, and an indefinite extension of time to install deadbolt lock on one back entrance - door, correct pitch of flue pipes , and install smoke detectors , because of severe financial hardsfiip. Also, request return of filing fee because of financial hardship. APPEARANCE : Nan Jacobson PROCEEDINGS : Ms . Jacobson stated that she has been unemployed for two years , is a single parent of two teen-age children and dependent on the rental income from the property.� She said she was unable to pay far the work ordered by the city at this time. Frank Staffenson explained that the flue from the water heater was back- � pitched, causing possible danger from carbon monoxide fumes . The chimney had deteriorated and there was a question of whether an adequate flue liner existed. Security should be provided by a deadbolt lock at the rear entrance, and smoke detectors should be installed. Otherwise, the inspector' s report noted that it was a nice building and agreed that there was very little space for a handsink in the second floor bathroom. Chairman Glassman said there was a new funding program available fvr non- owner-occupied properties in need of rehabhing and suggested that Ms . Jacobsan make inquiries . BOARD ACTION: Mrs . Bostrom moved that a variance of Section 34. 1Z be grante to permit continued use of a bathroom without a handsink, on condition that Items No. 2 through 7 , as designated by the city's letter of October 20 , 1982 , be completed by December 12 , 1982 , and on condition that no more than two adults occupy each dwelling unit.
