FROM: CITY ATTORNEY
SUBJECT:. 170 EL CAMINO REAL
OLD BUSINESS NO. 2
1-2-90 L--
lnter�Com
Proceedings for the repair or demolition of the building at
170 E1 Camino Real have been moving along very slowly and we have
received.virtually no cooperation from the property owner despite
meetings and a number of communications with the property owner and
the attorney for the property owner. It appears likely that the
property owner will oppose any proceedings to obtain court orders
for repair or demolition of the property, thus resulting in further
delays. Accordingly, we feel that the most expeditious way to
obtain correction of the problems at 170 El Camino Real is through
an administrative proceeding authorized under the abatement of
dangerous conditions provisions of the uniform building codes.
We recommend that the Council authorize and direct the City
Attorney's Office in conjunction with the Community Development
Department and the Building Official to move ahead with
administrative proceedings pursuant to the provisions of the
uniform building codes to enable the City to have the building
demolished and the site cleared. .010
