Summary

Board members said the appeal for case HC26‑03 is time sensitive because the property is on the market; with owner Feng Lu and agent absent, members warned a decision delay could affect closing and directed staff to expedite records and evidence.

Board members noted the case is "time sensitive" because the property is listed for sale and a delayed decision could hold up a closing. "So our issue is that it's a very it's a time sensitive appeal because somebody's trying to sell a piece of property," one board member said, urging staff to locate historical records quickly to avoid delaying the sale.

The chair recorded that neither the owner, Feng Lu, nor the agent, Jennifer Wan Singh, were present for the hearing. Members said they would proceed only if adequate documentary evidence supported granting a variance, and they asked staff to verify records and to confirm whether tenant‑only locking hardware exists on site.
