Bhatia (five units) SUBJECT: Request waiver of code items pertaining to shared bathroom and access requirements in Apts . #1 and #2 , and rec{uest extension of time to complete remaining listed items in letter of 10/3/79 involving electrical work and those repairs not already completed. Prior Hearing 12/11/79 : AppelJ_ant rec{uested postponement to Januax•y meeting. because estimates from contractor had not yet been received. Prior Hearing 11/13/79 : Case continued to December meeting to allow time to obtain estimates and to explore eligibility for rehab programs . -2- 1/8/80 - Meeting No. I57 1 , t� APPEARANCE: Yash P. Bhatia PROCEEDINGS : Mr. Bhatia reported that the work involving the water heater and the heating plant area had been comnleted, the laundry facilities were going to be removed, and he hac. arranged with a general contractor to do most of the remaining work but would need a time extension because of financial �onsiderations . He was not eligible for any government lending programs and his property did not generate any positive cash flow. He also would need a waiver on the shared bathroom for Apts . 1 and 2 . Alice Bijjani said he would also need a waiver of access rec{uirements for the front first floor apartment because it was rented as a two-bedroom unit, but was in violation of code because the occupant of one bedroom had to go through the other t•o reach the .bathroom. There would be no code problem if the apartment would be xented as a one-bedroom. She expl.ained that there would be no satisfac�ory way to rearrange the two first floor units , nor would it be a practical matter to install an additional bathroom, because the floor plan did not lend itself to modification. BOARD ACTION: Mr. Glassman moved to grant a waiver of Code Sectian 54. 14 to permit s aring of one bathroom between Apts . #1 and #2 , provided that Apt. #1 be rented out as a one-bedroom apartment and be so listed on the Certifieate of Occupancy ; said waiver to be effective for the lif°time of � • the structure and to be recorded by the Register of Deeds . Mr. Naibi askec�. �to amend the motion to limit the waiver to the period of present ownership. � . Mr. Glassman said such a limitation would only create hardship � for an owner if he should ever wish to sell his property, and he preferred to have his motion voted on without such .an amendment. If the p-resent owne.r was willing � to spend several thousand dollars to repair and modernize , he felt. it would be unjust to penalize h�.m so that when he might want to sell he could not make a reasonable profit. Mr. Tieso seconded Mr. Glassman' s m�otion. THE VOTE: Ayes - 4 Nayes - 2 (Naibi , Reiter) Abstentions - 0 (Mr. Wozniak and Mrs . Peake had arrived shortly after the meeting was called to order. ) Mr. Bhatia asked for an extension of one year to complete the work not al- ready done because of the probable difficulty in obtaining a loan unde�r .the current money-lending situation. Ms . Bij j ani said, if a reinspection verified the wark already done as clai�ned by the owner, her department could give a year' s extension for the remainiitg work, except that smoke detectors should be installed within 30 days . Mr. Naibi and Mr. Tieso suggested that a year was too long to allow for completion of electrical work. BOARD ACTION : Mr. Wozniak moved that an extensian of six months be granted or completion of required electrical work , and one year for remaining items listed in letter of 10/3/79 , on condition that smoke detectors be installed within 30 days .
