The owner has failed to substantially comply with this order. On or about July 17, 1995 the south half of the building was destroyed by an arson fire. A Notice of Violation declaring the structure to be a Dangerous Building as defined by SBMC 15 . 28 . 010, Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings (UCADB) , Section 302, was issued on July 19, 1995 by Senior Building Inspector Jack Masters . The conditions that currently exist and that justify this determination include : 1 . The south portion of the building (which measures 100 ' X 851 ) has been severely damaged by fire to the extent that the structural strength and stability is significantly less than required by the Uniform Building Code. The roof and floor diaphragms have been destroyed which significantly diminishes the structure' s ability to resist lateral forces . (UCADB Section 302 .4) 2 . The remaining cast-in-place concrete walls of the south portion of the building, are likely to fail if subjected to probable wind and seismic loads, and due to their proximity, pose a threat to the public right-of-way (i .e . streets and sidewalks) . (UCADB 302 . 5, 302 . 6, 302 . 11) 3 . The remaining portion of the building which is not fire damaged, has been a continual public nuisance, has been abandoned in excess of six months, and constitutes an abandoned building and an attractive nuisance for children, or a harbor for vagrants or criminal activity. (SBMC 8 . 30 . 010A, SBMC 15 . 28 . 010, UCADB 302 . 12, 302 . 17, 302 . 18) The owner has failed to substantially comply with BBC Order No. 2530 and the Notice of Violation dated July 19, 1995 . Staff Recommendation: A. That the Board finds that the abandoned and partially destroyed structure on the property exists in violation of the San Bernardino Municipal Code, Sections 8 . 30 . 010A and 15 . 28 . 010 , UCADB Section 302 , and B . That the owner shall obtain building permits to rehabilitate, reconstruct, or demolish the fire damaged portion (i . e . the south half) of the building within 30 days, and shall commence construction or demolition within 40 days, and shall complete construction or demolition within 90 days, and C.

Dear Board Members: This letter will acknowledge my receipt of your letter dated August 23, 1995 regarding the scheduled hearing of September 7, 1995 concerning the property located at 3200 North "E" Street, San Bernardino, CA. I had not planned on attending the hearing inasmuch as I have retained the services of The Greenspan Company, Public Adjusters, to represent the interests of myself and International Doctors Supply, Corp. concerning matters such as the hearing scheduled for tomorrow. However, at 1:45pm this afternoon my office received a cad from The Greenspan Company informing us that our adjuster, Mr. Steve Severaid, was stranded out of the country due to hurricane Luis, and that he would be unable to attend the hearing tomorrow. In light of this information, which 1 did not personally receive until 3:00pzn this afternoon, I thought it would be best to inform you that I am still unable to break a prior meeting scheduled for 11:00am tomorrow in Los Angeles and therefore still unable to be present for the hearing tomorrow. I at all times expected Mr. Severaid to attend on our behalf. Regardless, I am respectfully requesting the following: 1. That Martin L. Hudler / FBO / IDS be granted an additional 75 days to inform the City of San Bernardino of our intentions with respect to the property. We have not received our final estimates for costs of repair and replacement and therefore we have not made any decision concerning the economic feasibility to either rebuild the existing structure or raze the existing structure and then rebuild. 1312.1 Poncl+o\X' Un;11) • Tr,necula, CA • 92590 • Tel 909-694.5897 • fax 9C9-695-7603 CHAPARRAL INVESTMENTS 9096957603 P - 02 Board of Building Commissioners September b, 1995 Page Two (2) For your convenience, I have attached a copy of our Structural Summary Report for your review.

(ii) Concrete columns with suspended concrete floor slab and concrote beam, first floor level. (iii) Concrete wall two story height with wood-frame floor and roof in the south west corner. With the exception of the southwest corner apartment unit, all apartments were conventional wood framed construction. From our preliminary visual observation, we found, in general, that the concrete members described above appeared to be structurally sound. However, we did observe manor concrete spalling and cracks at various locations where wood floor beams were connected to the top of the concrete columns in the ground-floor commercial space on the south and southeast corner of the complex. The fire could have caused the observed damage. We recommend to repair these columns as follows: (a) Carefully chip off the top two feet of these concrete columns without cutting the existing vertical steel rebars. Provide a minimum of three No. 3 horizontal square hooks within the first 5 inches of the top of the columns.
