Appeal of Abatement action at 2904 Merle Ave., Martinez
page 2
The Building Inspection Department sent correspondence to the property owner on
October 10, 1997 regarding alleged violations. On October 30, 1997 the property located
at 2904 Merle Ave was inspected by the Building Inspection Department and found to be
substandard per Uniform dousing Code Section .202, and an attractive nuisance per
Uniform Housing Code Section .401.
The Building Inspection Department continued written and verbal correspondence and
frequent field visits to the property without adequate response from the property owner,
Richard Lithin.
Considering the severe conditions of the property Building Inspection Staff attempted to
contact various community organizations for assistance; Habitat for Humanity, Xmas in
April. In addition, Building Inspection referred this property to the Neighborhood
Preservation Program regarding a rehabilitation loan. It was determined that the damages
to the property were too extensive and exceeded the program loan limitations. On
December 16, 9997 the Building Inspection Department staff was able to inspect the
interior of the property and found extensive damages to framing members, from the roof
to subfloor areas.
On May 26, 1998 the department contacted CC Mosquito and Vector Control regarding
vermin control. On May 28, 1998 the department posted the property as a substandard
and uninhabitable structure lacking utilities and therefore in violation of Title 7, Section
712-2.002 & Section 792-2.004. The responsible parties have been notified and
compliance has not been met.
Staff recommends that it be directed to proceed and perform the abatement.
