DBI says work at 1675 Eleventh Avenue complies with approved plans after neighbor complaints
Summary
DBI staff reported they measured and reviewed plans for a permitted conversion at 1675 Eleventh Avenue and found the construction matched approved drawings; staff met onsite with the complainant and said many earlier complaints were abated though episodic follow-ups continued.
Deputy Director Ed Swinney briefed the commission on complaints about a permitted project at 1675 Eleventh Avenue. He said the conversion permit (initially issued Feb. 1, 2007) and subsequent revisions had been routed through Planning, staff inspected the site and measured the building, and found construction consistent with approved plans. Swinney said complaints (six filed over time) were investigated and abated by DBI staff teams, and that staff had met on-site with the complainant and the permit holder to review concerns.
Commissioners noted that some complainants continue to raise new issues episodically and asked whether deterrents exist to prevent repeated, unsubstantiated complaints from tying up staff time. The city attorney’s office advised DBI must respond to public complaints; staff said they would continue to document inspections and clarify when complaints are resolved.
