Description:
GARAGE/WORKSHOP BUILT AT THE REAR OF PROPERTY. QUESTION IF PERMIT WAS OBTAINED. GARAGE/WORKSHOP CAUSING HARMFUL FUMES THROUGHOUT DAY AND NIGHT. MORE SO AT NIGHT/NEIGHBORS ARE NOT ABLE TO SLEEP. CAUSING HEADACHES/LIGHT HEADEDNESS AND OTHER TYPES OF SICKNESS DUE TO STRONG FUMES. 2ND COMPLAINT - EMAIL 12-15-06 THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME TYPE OF MAKESHIFT AUTO REPAIR SHOP GOING ON IN THIS ALLEY WAY. THERE ARE USUALLY 6 OR 8 VEHICLES JAMMED INTO THE YARD AND ALLEY. THESE PEOPLE ARE ALSO USING THE ALLEY AS A MAIN THOROUGHFARE AND THE TRAFFIC IS CREATING DUST AND NOISE. THIS MAY BE MORE THAN AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP, SOME CARS STOP BY AND LEAVE IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. ONE IN PARTICULAR IS A STEEL BLUE JEEP CHEROKEE, OLDER MODEL 80'S? WITH PLATE # ARIZ 230-VRW, THIS INDIVIDUAL DRIVES DANGEROUSLY FAST THROUGH THE ALLEY AND NEARBY RESIDENTIAL STREETS. I HAVE SEVERAL ELDERLY NEIGHBORS WHO ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY CONCERNED AND AFRAID OF THIS ACTIVITY IN THEIR BACKYARDS, NOT TO MENTION THE DUST FOR SOME OF THEIR RESPIRATORY ISSUES. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

| 12/28/2006 | INITIAL CODE VIOLATION | LPUMPHRE | Approved | INSPECTION OF PROPERTY SHOWED AN ACTIVE AUTO REPAIR SHOP BEING OPERATED AT THE REAR OF 4333 E EASTLAND, ASSESSIBLE FROM THE ALLEY. THE TENANT (GAVE NAME AS RICHARD) STATED HE IS PERFORMING CAR REPAIR, BUT IT'S JUST A HOBBY- AT LEAST TWO VEHICLES DROVE UP FOR WHAT WAS PRESUMABLY AUTO WORK WHILE I WAS THERE. A OBVIOUSLY UNPERMITTED STRUCTURE (GARAGE) OVER 200' HAS BEEN BUILT IN THE REAR AREA AND IS UNFINISHED AND NOT WEATHERPROOFED. WORK LOOKS VERY SHODDY AND UNLIKELY WITHIN BUILDING CODE GUIDELINES; DOES NOT APPEAR TO MEET SETBACKS. 2005 AERIAL PHOTO DOES NOT SHOW THIS STRUCTURE, NOR IS THERE A PERMIT ON FILE. TENANT STATES A PERMIT WAS NOT ACQUIRED FOR THIS STRUCTURE BY HIM OR OWNER. TENTED CANOPY ALSO ADDED TO STRUCTURE; CURRENTLY HAS A VEHICLE INSIDE FOR REPAIR. CAR REPAIR EQUIPMENT (RAMPS, JACKS, TOOLS BOXES, ETC.), CAR PARTS (ENGINE BLOCKS, WHEELS, ETC.), AND VEHICLES WAITING FOR REPAIR ARE ALL OVER AREA. REFUSE AND DEBRIS RELATED TO BUSINESS ARE SCATTERED THROUGHOUT AREA. 7 VEHICLES RELATED TO BUSINESS (5 JMV) ARE PARKED IN NEIGHBOR'S YARD, APPARENTLY WITH HIS PERMISSION. A LIGHT BROWN THUNDERBIRD JMV IS PARKED ON OWNER'S PROPERTY NEXT TO GARAGE. 3 EXTENSION CORDS FROM MAIN PROPERTY TO GARAGE AREA IN BACK ARE VISIBLE. TENANT STATES THE GARAGE IS NOT HOOKED UP TO ELECTRICAL OTHER THAN THAT. TWO SETS OF FLOOD LIGHT FIXTURES ARE VISIBLE ON STRUCTURE, BUT NOT OPERATING. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE THREE SHEDS ON WEST SIDE OF REAR PROPERTY THAT DO NOT MEET SETBACKS. A SHODDILY CONSTRUCTED ATTACHED ENCLOSED PORCH APPEARS DONE WITHOUT PERMITS- IS NOT VISIBLE ON AERIALS FROM 2005 OR 2002; IS COVERED WITH TARP AND IS ONLY PARTIALLY FINISHED. NO PERMIT ON FILE.
