!r(,` lie," 4 (se' RECEIVED C'f' ''a d C4410? 2 7 2 017 To:Mayor Bailey,Rep MacArthur Building and Safety,ty,Planning, and Code Enforcement Date:4/25/2017 RE:Riverside Grand Jury Case for City Refusal to Enforce City Code City of Riverside City Clerk's Office Grand Jury Case 16-17-024 A Citizen Grand Jury Complaint was sent to the Riverside Grand Jury,against the City of Riverside,Code Enforcement,Mayor and Supervisor MacArthur,Building and Safety,Planning,and other Depts./Officers that were and have been notified/contacted for 9 years regarding a 2nd dwelling that was allowed to be built from a shed kit,lived in and rented out even though it is not up to Code This 'dwelling'was signed off—however,the Grand Jury agreed that after reading the City Code regarding 2'"dwelling requirements and viewing photo proof provided to them they are questioning as to who/why it was signed off. Grand Jury Case 16-17-024 was accepted by all Grand Jurors and I will be testifying before them in May and I will also be asking for restitution from the City for every valid complaint I sent in requesting that the 2nd dwelling abide by City code: Chapter 19.525 SECOND DWELLING UNITS ***O.The second dwelling shall be designed to match the primary dwelling in architectural style,_colors,and materials.If a property is located within the boundaries of a designated historic district,the second dwelling shall comply with the Citywide Residential Historic District Design Guidelines. In NO way does the 2nd dwelling at this property match in color,shape,style,materials,etc.-and the Grand Jury agreed.In fact,they assumed it was a tool shed.I am looking forward to my day in court and I am hoping all City employees that the Grand Jury calls in to testify will be fired-in fact I am going to request that they be fired.In no way should this 2nd dwelling ever been allowed to have been built,lived in/rented out and ignored for 9 years when it clearly is not up to code.Its appearance devalues my home and the historic area of Arlington Heights,and it use as a rental(as well as the primary)also devalues financially as well as our quality of life and enjoyment of our home and area. I have only 1 e-mail stating an'excuse'for the 2nd dwelling and it gives no explanation,but I do have a name.In fact all the emails have all the names of various individuals who were indeed notified but never responded and never enforce the City code. I am requesting info to provide to the Grand Jury.Now,once again my request can be ignored,but this will further prove to the Grand Jury that the City of Riverside and its representatives have no integrity or duty to the people,laws,and codes in which they are sworn to serve.The Grand Jury will be asking who and why this 2nd dwelling was/has been allowed to built and lived in that is not up to code,as well as the following: -HOW MANY TIMES DOES THE CITY HAVE ON FILE OF THIS COMPLAINT(I HAVE NUMEROUS EMAILS/PROOF ON MY END) -A LIST OF NAMES OF ALL WHO RECEIVED THIS EMAIL COMPLAINT WITHIN CODE ENFORCEMENT,BUILDING AND PLANNING(AGAIN,I ALSO HAVE ALL THE BUILDING AND PLANNING DEPT,CITY REPS,ETC-WHO WERE ALSO SENT LETTERS AND EMIALS) -WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE CODE LISTED ABOVE NOT TO BE ENFORCED? I will withdraw this case with the Grand Jury IF the 2nd dwelling is completely removed and done so immediately.If the excuse is IT IS A SHED/STORAGE,THAT IS FALSE- it is used as a residence,it even states so on Zillow that it is a'guest house'that the property owners live in-it is not a shed/storage,it is a residence.And with summer coming the property owners rent it out as well as the primary house.This 2nd dwelling for its use and appearance should be removed and to avoid court the City has to ensure it is removed immediately.AND the City has the power to do so even if`signed'off and/or length of time it has been established.We were forced to remove a RV cover that was built sometimes in 1950-90 because there was no permit—we bought the house in 2007.We removed it without hesitation to comply.So there is no excuse or reason to allow this 2"°dwelling to remain due to its use and it not being up to code. If not removed-plan to meet the Grand Jury in May.
