Board of Housing Appea,,,, Meeting Staff Report — 2156 South B Street, Stockton III. Abstract On August 16, 2013, the Environmental Health Department, along with Montezuma Fire Chief Ed Martel, conducted an exterior inspection and found one single family dwelling and one detached shed with substandard conditions. The structures were posted for violations of State Housing Law, including lack of water heater, lack of electrical lighting, general dilapidation, improper maintenance, unsanitary conditions, hazardous wiring, inadequate mechanical, sagging roof and ineffective waterproofing of exterior walls, materials of construction are inadequate, accumulation of weeds, and unsafe building due to inadequate maintenance. The shed was also found to be unsecured in violation of Section 8-5601 of the San Joaquin County Ordinance Code and was posted with a Notice to Secure. The Environmental Health Department conducted an inspection on October 14, 2013, in response to a structure fire incident report from Montezuma Fire District, and observed the posted shed had been completely damaged by fire. Debris was found to have been completely removed and the property secured by boards during a status check conducted on December 16, 2013. A review of the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department records showed a septic destruction permit was obtain on January 24, 1994 but had expired with no inspections. Records also showed that the structures had been previously posted as substandard on September 17, 2004 with the violations corrected and the case closed on April 30, 2007. A check of the Community Development and Environmental Health Department's databases showed that a building permit for plumbing and electrical repairs, and to replace water heater was issued on December 30, 2013. However, no septic destruction permit had been issued by the Environmental Health. This case was brought before the San Joaquin County Board of Housing Appeals on November 20, 2013. However, the quorum requirement for the meeting was not met. Therefore, this case is again brought before the Board of Housing Appeals to determine a reasonable and feasible schedule for expeditious repair or demolition and to authorize the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department to proceed with demolition of remaining structure should the violations fail to be corrected within the determined time schedule. IV. Violations On August 16, 2013, the following violations of the California Health and Safety Code, Section 17920.3, were observed for the Single Family Dwelling (SFD): 1.
