When he purchased it,there were three residential units on the property: 4212A,4212B,and 4212%. The first two units are an upstairs unit and basement unit in the principal structure at the front of the property; the third unit is in an accessory structure in the rear of the property. There was a code enforcement action on the basement unit (4212B)and the accessory structure unit in 2017. The residential units had not been legally permitted when Dr. Boyce purchased the property. There is a Hearing Examiner order(CE17-0400)that requires Dr. Boyce to abate the unpermitted basement unit. My understanding is that the code compliance issues with the accessory structure unit(4212%2)were resolved in July, 2017 when Permit No. CW1707-002 was finaled. However,there appears to be some confusion regarding the addressing, because this permit is listed under 4212B Rucker Ave. After looking through the historic permitting of the property and reviewing the EMC,we have concluded that there we cannot claim any legal non-conforming use status for the basement unit (4212B). We would therefore like to pursue abating the basement residential unit and reverting the use of the basement to the residential use in the principal structure. If, at some point in the future, Dr. Boyce wishes to pursue establishing residential use in the basement,we will go through the appropriate land use and building permitting process. I have confirmed with Grace Pollard that there is no land use process associated with the abatement. She has provided me with the residential site plan submittal requirements. I have a few questions regarding how to proceed with abatement: 3
