CASE N0. PROPERTY APPELLANT 54- 77-H 1854 Roblyn Ave . Harold N. Bolin (9 efficiency units) SUBJECT: Request lifetime of ownership waiver, granted by the Board in 197 , which permitted occupancy of 3rd floor unit and basement unit, be changed to a waiver for th� lifetime of the structure, because of financial loss if appellant could not sell property as a 9-unit building. f: - . ' 1854 Roblyn Ave . -4- 1/10/78 - Meeting �o. 137 . - ������'� APPEARANCE: Harold N. Bolin PROCEEDINGS: Mr. Bolin related that the city had allowed occupancy in I970 on con- dition that a fire escape be provided from the third flaor unit, but the waiver was effective orily so long as he owned the property. He now wished to sell it on the basis of a 9-unit rental income . If he could not do so, he �wou�d� be obliged to sell at a lower price , which would cause financial hardship. The 1970 waiver also applied to a basement unit, for which he was asking a continuation of occup ancy. Alice Bijjani noted that the stairway between the first and second floor was not enclosed, according to the inspection report, and she felt this should be done for the purpose of containing smoke from spreading rapidly to upper floors in case of fire . She inquired as to the size of the win dows in the basement apartment, and Mr. Bolin said they were about 30" by 30" , larger than the usual basement window an d easily accessible in case of emergency. Ms . Bijjani agreed that the window size appeared to be adequate, and that the Code Enforcement Division would not object to Mr. Bolin' s w aiver rec{uest. BOARD ACTION: Mr. Glassman moved to grant a change in the type of waiver previously granted in 1970, from a waiver effective only for the period of owner- ship to a waiver effective for the lifetime of the structure , on con- dition that a city housing inspector approve� the basement unit and the access to the third floor unit , and that any other recommendation of the city inspector, such as the enclosing of tlie stairway from the first floor to the second floor, be followed. Mr. Heider seconded. MOTION CARRIED AND SO ORDERED. THE VOTE: Ayes - 5 Nayes - 0 Abstentions - 0 1/10/78 - Meeting No. 137 MINUTES OF THE MEETING � ST.
