November 14, 2006
On this day the Board considered closing the public hearing on the appeal of the notice and order
ii
to abate a public nuisance on the real property located at 1345 Battery St., Richmond area and
staff recommendation to proceed with abatement at the property owner's expense.
Vincent Caballero, Building Inspector,presented the staff report including photographs of the
premises. He stated Ms. Arnhart came to the Building Inspection Department(BID)November
13, 2006 to submit plans to obtain permits for repairs to be made at 1345 Battery Street.
Therefore, he asks that the Board amend the abatement order to 60 days rather than 30 days.
Thus giving the owner time to obtain the necessary permits and commence the work. Should the
owner fail to submit the needed application to Community Development Department (CDD) and
BID within allotted time,;direct the County Abatement Officer to abate the unsafc structure
deferring all costs to the property owner.
Chair Gioia opened the public hearing with no speaker cards presented.
Ms. Suzanne Arnhart, theproperty owner, complained of not being notified when a property is
"red tagged" also that a five day hearing notice was insufficient time to prepare for an abatement
hearing. She stated she had tried to submit plans to the BID on four different occasions only to
be delayed by the CLD because they asked for an interior-framing plan; which she noted is not
normally required. She felt the pictures Mr. Caballero took are a bit one sided stating, granted
there was a fire and it accurately shows the damage, although it does not show the condition of
the beck of the building or the sides that are repairable.
Chair Gioia asks for comments from the BID.
Mr. Carlos Baltodano, Director, BID, responded to Ms. Arnhart's complaints stating:
1) Ms. Arnhart's statement being correct, for fire damage a permit is issued over the
counter,but in this particular case the structural damage and severity of the fire required a
more extensive work report showing exactly what work needed to be done.
2) Regarding the notification process. The Clerk of the Board followed standard appeal
hearing notice procedure applying a 5 working day notice of hearing.
Chair Gioia moved to close the public hearing and adopt staff recommendations with the
amendment of 60 days rather than 30 days abatement notice with building permits to be obtained
by January 15, 2007.
