DA :,July 26, 1999
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM. J. Michael Walford, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Report on Sidewalk Hazard Abatement,act 737 Coventry Road, Kensington Area
This report is in reference to the August 10, 1999 Hearing on the confirmation of the sidewalk repair
cost for the hazard abatement at 737 Coventry Road, in the Kensington area.
In early 1996, we became aware through citizen complaints and field surveys of sidewalk problems
in the Kensington area. Since 1996, our Department notified approximately 50 residents in the
Kensington area that the aging sidewalks in front of their homes were in disrepair and required
replacement. In many cases, the sidewalks were badly cracked and broken, were a hazard to the
public and presented the County with a liability problem if left unrepaired. Among the residents
notified were Mohammed Ali Gardizi and :Magdalen Allen-Gardizi owning the property at 737
Coventry Road. In accordance with the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California, it is
the responsibility of the property owner to maintain the sidewalk fronting their property in a safe
condition.
Since our initial notifications in 1996, all of the residents we contacted have complied with our
request to replace their hazardous sidewalks with the exception of the Mr. Gardizi and Ms. Allen-
Gardizi and one other homeowner. Normally, we give the property owners ample opportunity to
replace their sidewalks since it's usually less expensive for them to arrange for the work. Since
1996, the have sent numerous notices to these property owners with the hope of eventual compliance.
Wh-�.i Mr. Gardizi and Ms. Allen-Gardizi failed to replace their sidewalk, we again sent follow up
letters in late 1996 and posted their property in accordance with the Streets and Highways Code.
After it was apparent that the sidewalk was not going to be repaired, we requested bids from 10
lice—,ed contractors to make the repairs. The contractor who submitted the low bid of $2,719
com?leted the sidewalk repair in February of 19977.
We have billed Mr. Gardizi and Ms. Allen-Gardizi for $2,850.14 which represents the total cost,
including administrative costs, as allowed by the Streets and Highways Code. Since Mr. Gardizi and
Ms. Allen-Gardizi have not paid their bill after many attempts of collection,we recommend that the
cost of repair together with a property tax roll collection fee of$250.76 be assessed against their
property as a lien.
