Board finds 715 East 2nd Ave Unit 3 in noncompliance; BTR finding and fines approved 5–1
Summary
Staff reported multiple unpermitted improvements and no Business Tax Receipt for apartment rentals at 715 East 2nd Ave Unit 3; the board voted 5–1 to accept staff recommendations, giving the owner until Sept. 12 to comply and noting that a finding of noncompliance for the BTR could be used as a repeat offense if necessary.
Officer John Parks described unpermitted work at 715 East 2nd Ave Unit 3 including pavers, fencing and decking, and told the board there was no Business Tax Receipt on file for apartment rentals. Parks said an application had been submitted but was too new to show actions in the system and that the city is unlikely to issue a BTR until permit issues are resolved. "So to say, we haven't applied for this, recognizing that they do need to apply for it... there's an application on file right now that is no actions taken because it's just too new," Parks said.
Attorney Corey Brown said respondents intended to have permit and BTR issues resolved within the roughly 30-day window discussed earlier in the hearing. The board voted 5–1 to accept staff's recommendation (Ruth Harris voted no). The respondents were ordered to contact the code inspector and were reminded of appeal rights; staff will follow up on compliance.
