On August 9, 2010, Code Officer Kevin Fagerstrom and Tony Lee and Ted Budden from the City's Building Services Department, conducted an inspection at the property and they observed and photographed a wall section and new staircase that had been built in the upper floor of the southwest corner of the building. Unit 6 had an enclosed space that had been added; and a lean to had been added on site; and Unit 6 storage area (see exhibit 8). All of these items require building and other permits. They were able to confirm that this area is a portion of Unit # 6 of the condominium complex.
