ARDEN GUTHRIE PROPERTIES:
On or between April 16, 1996 and May 1, 1996, the Code Compliance Division of the
Department of Planning and Building Services inspected the Arden Guthrie properties listed
above. As a result of the inspection, the Code Compliance Officer observed code violations. The
property owner (s) of record were notified of the code violations and a hearing before the Board
of Building Commissioners was scheduled.
On July 11, 1996, a hearing to address the code violations was heard by the BBC. Debra Myers,
the attorney representing the property owner, FDIC, was present at the hearing and addressed the
BBC. After receiving and considering all relevant evidence, objections or protest, regarding the
Arden Guthrie properties, the BBC determined the Arden Guthrie properties constituted a public
nuisance.
Based on a finding that a nuisance existed, the staff recommendation from Code Compliance
recommended that within ten (10) days, the owner(s) of record shall obtain the required permits
to rehabilitate or demolish the structures and that the work is to be completed within thirty (30)
days.
Instead, the BBC ordered the property owner(s) to comply with the following order as of July
18, 1996:
"Within sixty (60) days from the date of this order, owner(s) of record
shall obtain the required permits to rehabilitate or demolish abandoned
structure (s). Rehabilitation or demolition shall be completed within
ninety (90) days from the date of this order."
On or about July 18, 1996, notice of the BBC decision was sent to the property owner, the FDIC,
and all other interested property owners. The notice sent to the property owner(s) also informed
the owner of the right to appeal the BBC order within fifteen (15) days from the date of the order.
As of September 19, 1996, no property owner has appealed the BBC order.
As of July 18, 1996, a notice of pendency had been filed on all 23 Arden Guthrie properties.
The sixty day deadline to obtain permits expired on September 16, 1996. As of the 16th, Tom
Williams, the current property owner obtained permits for five properties
On September 18, 1996, Mr. Williams faxed a request to Joe Lease, Department of Planning and
Building and Services Inspection Services Supervisor, for an extension of time to comply with
the deadlines in the BBC orders. Mr. Williams also requested a waiver of the pre-permit
inspections and suggested using his contractor to prepare the pre-permit reports.
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION BY THE PROPERTY OWNER
ON THE ARDEN GUTHRIE PROPERTIES:
The only action requested by Mr. Williams' September 18, 1996, fax are as follows:
I) An extension from the BBC deadline on the Arden Guthrie
properties and
2) A waiver of the pre-permit inspections so that he may use his
contractor to prepare the inspection reports to obtain permits on
the remaining eighteen properties.
It should be noted that Department of Planning Building Services Plan Checker Jim Sowers
informed Mr. Williams on or about September 10, 1996, of the option to use a private contractor
to prepare the inspection reports to expedite obtaining permits.
SUNRISE PROPERTIES:
1) 2075 Sunrise Lane
On July 11, 1996, the BBC declared 2075 Sunrise Lane constituted a public nuisance and issued
order no. 3555 which required the property owner to obtain permits to rehabilitate or demolish
the structure within 10 days and complete rehabilitation or demolition within thirty (3 0) days.
Due to a misunderstanding, the owner, Mr. Williams, was given an additional ten (10) days to
obtain a pre-permit inspection. On July 30, 1996, Mr. Williams applied for and obtained a pre-
permit. As of September 19, 1996, Mr. Williams has failed to comply with the outstanding
BBC order and obtain a permit to rehabilitate or demolish the structure at 2075 Sunrise Lane.

2) 2157 Sunrise Lane
On December 22, 1995, the BBC declared the property at 2157 Sunrise Lane a public nuisance.
On December 22, 1995, the BBC issued order no. 3072 which required the owner, to apply for
rehabilitation permits within ten (10) days, obtain the permits within thirty (3 0) days of said
application, commence rehabilitation within sixty (60) days of obtaining permits and complete
rehabilitation within six (6) months thereafter or demolish the structure. If the owner elects to
demolish the structure, apply for a demolition permit within ten (10) days and complete
demolition within three (3) months thereafter.
After failing to comply with all of the time deadlines in the BBC Order, an asbestos inspection
was completed prior to demolition. Before the demolition could be completed, the property
owner requested a stay of the order to rehabilitate the structure. As of September 19, 1996, no
permits to rehabilita e the building have been obtained.
