Magistrate grants 120 days for mold, plumbing and driveway repairs at North Lakeside Court unit
Summary
Code enforcement said most interior issues were resolved at 27322 North Lakeside Court except paving; the magistrate granted 120 days so the owner can secure permits and complete driveway paving.
The special magistrate on Sept. 16 granted 120 days to the owner of a rental unit at 27322 North Lakeside Court to complete outstanding driveway paving after the code officer confirmed that mold remediation, plumbing repairs and other interior work were otherwise addressed.
Donald Lattimore, the city code enforcement officer, said his inspection and an attached mold report documented mold, pest infestation, water leaks and interior wall damage earlier in the case. Lattimore reported that the owner had addressed most violations and that only the driveway paving (code section 94485(e)) remained unresolved; a new driveway permit had been issued to the owner the day before the hearing.
The owner, Terry Monney, told the magistrate he had several active permits and explained a financing and lien-mitigation issue tied to previous fire damage and a 7-year-old lien that has delayed some final work. Lattimore told the magistrate the permit supervisor recommended 90 days, but the city ultimately requested 120 days to allow for potential permitting delays. The magistrate accepted 120 days and ordered that if the driveway is not paved within that time a fine of $100 per day may begin.
Why this matters: the decision balanced public‑health remediation (mold and pests) that was largely completed with the practical permitting and financing hurdles the owner described, setting a firm compliance deadline for the remaining paving.
The magistrate's order requires the owner to complete paving within 120 days and to keep code enforcement apprised of progress to avoid fines.
