On October 21, 1999, the City cited the building at 2072 San Sebastian Way North
as an unsafe structure following an October 16, 1999 fire. Problems associated with the
duplex include fire damage, boarded and broken windows, trash and debris, smoke and
heat damage to walls, ceilings, electrical wiring, and plumbing. The City has received
complaints. The owner is requesting additional time to complete repairs.
John Zanto, owner, said the fire is under investigation and the insurance company
has been slow to fund repairs. The house is secured and empty. In response to a
question, Mr. Zento's contractor said while the building was underinsured, he felt coverage
will be adequate to repair damages. Discussion ensued regarding the time necessary to
make the repairs and expected delays due to the holiday season.

extension for the completion of necessary repairs to the structure at 2072 San Sebastian

The City previously cited the building at 1576 South Greenwood Avenue as an
unsafe structure. George Pearson, owner, had appeared before the BAABF (Board of
Adjustment and Appeal on Building/Flood Control) previously and had promised to complete
Jlecessary work by September 1, 1999. Mr. Wright reported the structure had failed
inspections for electrical, roof, and mechanical. Neighbors have complained to staff and
the City Commission. Mr. Wright read a letter opposing any further extensions.
James Butler, representative, said repairs were delayed due to the owner's
hospitalization and complications related to children in his custody. The owner had signed
insurance proceeds to the mortgage company and was having difficulty getting the funds
released to pay for completed work. He said the owner has made a good faith effort and
'wishes to move back into his home as soon as possible. He said repairs are 70%
complete. Mr. Pearson reviewed other issues that had delayed work including theft. In
response to a question, Mr. Wright said inspections are scheduled for morning or afternoon.
Inspectors will not enter an empty building. In response to a question, Mr. Pearson said he
has enough money to finish the project.
Member Shah moved to approve a 60-day extension for the completion of necessary
repairs to the structure at 1576 South Greenwood Avenue to meet Section 47.161 City
