C. Chiang and Judy Y. Chiang, Owners of 23617 Golden Springs Drive, Unit K-5, Diamond Bar, CA 91765 re: Notice and Order to Vacate No Later Than 10/18/21 Dear Mr. Tao and City Clerk: This office represents Grace. C. Chiang and Judy Y. Chiang, Co-Trustees of the Revocable Trust of Grace Chin Chiang aka Grace C. Chiang dated June 29, 2004 (collectively “Owners”). This letter is to formally appeal the Notice and Order to Vacate No Later Than October 18, 2021 (“Notice”), that was served on October 1, 2021. Please direct all future communications to this office. A copy of said Notice is attached hereto for your reference. Please be advised that the Owners own the condominium unit located at 23617 Golden Springs Drive, Unit K-5, Diamond Bar, CA 91765 (“Subject Unit”). We have reviewed the Structural Evaluation Report (“Report”) dated September 22, 2021, prepared by Khatri International, Inc., structural and civil engineers, concerning the condominium development located at 23601 through 23665 Golden Springs Drive, Diamond Bar, CA 91765 (“Subject Property”). Page 17 of said Report shows that the first-floor units of Building “K” have Raymond Tao Kristina Santana City of Diamond Bar October 4, 2021 Page 2 of 4 Risk Rating of “Yellow” or “MEDIUM RISK; Moderate Damage to the exterior and drainage issues.” The Subject Unit is located on the first floor and considered at “Medium Risk.” The Subject Unit has not been red-tagged and is currently habitable. However, the City of Diamond Bar (“City”) is requiring ALL residents to vacate the Subject Property by October 18, 2021. Owners have owned the Subject Unit since October 2017. Prior to close of escrow, the Subject Unit was inspected by a licensed property inspector and the Subject Unit also passed termite inspection and clearance by a licensed termite inspector. Both the property inspector and termite inspector did not find any major issues with the Subject Unit and considered the Subject Unit to be habitable. The City of Diamond Bar has not presented any evidence whatsoever that the Subject Unit is not habitable under California law. If you do have such evidence, please forward the same to our office. Please be advised that Grace. C. Chiang is my mother, who is currently 87 years old, and living with my father, Frank Y. C. Chiang, who is currently 88 years old. They both live at the Subject Unit and are used to the environment. They are both in poor health with mobility issues. They were provided with only 18 days’ notice to vacate, in violation of their due process rights, especially since the Subject Unit is habitable. The Notice provided by the City also does not make any sense since it failed to identify the conditions to the Subject Unit that needed to be repaired or demolished in order to comply with the Notice. The Notice was addressed to each owner, not the Home Owner’s Association (“HOA”). It is our position, as indicated by the Report, that the Subject Unit is habitable. Grace Chiang and Frank Chiang only have a few years to live, and this mandatory evacuation of their home is a taking by the government without just compensation since they will never be able to return to their home. If you require them to vacate by October 18, 2021, then the City of Diamond Bar must provide them with a home, including a local Senior Living facility, since this is a taking without just compensation. In the alternative, the Owners kindly request that Grace Chiang and Frank Chiang be able to reside at the Subject Unit or grant them an extension to stay longer due to their advanced age and health issues. Grace Chiang and Frank Chiang will cooperate with the HOA if the HOA has a set schedule for mold remediation, construction work, or termite fumigation. They will work with the HOA and vacate the Subject Unit when necessary. Both the City of Diamond Bar and Management have not provided a schedule of work to be performed or any notification at all when the Owners/Residents may return to their home. From my experience litigating these types of cases, it could take 3-4 years before remediation is completed since there are a total of over 100+ units and remediation and rebuild cannot be done all at the same time. I am very familiar with how remediation and construction work since I have litigated numerous habitability cases. The Report shows the Subject Unit is at MEDIUM RISK. We also have evidence that the Subject Property is habitable since the Owners purchased the Subject Property not too long ago. Raymond Tao Kristina Santana City of Diamond Bar October 4, 2021 Page 3 of 4 If you continue to insist that both my parents vacate the Subject Unit by October 18, 2021, when the Subject Unit is only at Medium Risk, the Owners will deem this as a taking by a governmental entity without just compensation and will file a lawsuit against the City of Diamond Bar for numerous causes of action, including eminent domain. I have copied my partner, Karl Schlecht, on this letter along with my family members and Yvette Allen, the Property Manager from Avalon Management Group that will assist in this matter. Your immediate attention to this matter is appreciated. We look forward to your reply. Very truly yours, Karl P. Schlecht Judy Y. Chiang Enclosure as stated cc: Karl P.

(626) 351-4830 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 2.0 FIELD OBSERVATIONS All 12 Buildings are typical in structural design and construction. They are designed as Type V Wood Frame Two Story with roof rafters and flexible diaphragms in the 1970s-80s construction. Over several decades there has been an accumulation of water damage, termite infestation, dry rot, and long term wear and tear on the Roofs with infestation damage leading into the structural walls. Photographs in this Report (Memorandum 2017-3; 6/15/17) and the previous Report (Memorandum 2017-2; 3/26/17) provide field notes that apply to all of the buildings. In summary these notes are: 2.1 The Roof Rafters are severely to critically damaged due to long term water/termite/dry rot damage. They will have to replaced along with the plywood sheathing. 2.2 Moisture damage does extend from the Roof Rafter line into the 2nd Story Walls down to/near approximately the 2nd Story Floor Line. This is noted on several photographs wherein these walls were exposed to show the existing conditions of the studs. The damage is extensive and some of these Walls will have to be reconstructed with new lumber. 2.3 The Balcony Beams are in good condition and do not require replacement. The edge Facia Beams are extensively damaged and should be replaced. Although the edge Facia Beams are not 10/4/2021 P. 004 OF 42 KHATRI INTERNATIONAL, INC.

This will be concluded on further site investigations. 10/4/2021 P. 005 OF 42 KHATRI INTERNATIONAL, INC.

(626) 351-4830 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 3.0 CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS 3.1 All Balcony Decks should be removed of permanent loading such as equipment, furniture, potted plants, AC Units, and any Dead Loads that create overloading to the Balcony Beams. Balcony Decks are not designed as permanent storage areas and should be vacated from all these extraneous loads that result in structural problems. 3.2 The Roof Rafters, Roof Sheathing, and all of the existing Spanish Tile will have to be removed and replaced with new materials. This will have to be done on all 12 Buildings at the Project. This will require a structural Roof Plan with site observation from the Structural Engineer and Deputy Inspection to assure the Roof Structures are restored to their proper structural integrity. 3.3 Second Story Walls that are termite damaged will require full reconstruction from the second story plate line. This will have to be done on all 12 Buildings at the Project. This will require a structural Wall Reconstruction Plan with site observation from the Structural Engineer and Deputy Inspection to assure the structure is restored to their proper structural integrity. 3.4 Further investigation on the Foundation cracking is necessary on certain buildings and shall be followed up with a separate Report. 10/4/2021 P. 006 OF 42 KHATRI INTERNATIONAL, INC.

All work shall be done with approved Plans and Permits and a licensed Contractor. 3.8 The Buildings have extensive damage but do not pose an immediate life safety threat, at the time of this inspection. The owners are urged to address these damaged areas promptly to avoid further risk to the occupants. 10/4/2021 P. 007 OF 42 KHATRI INTERNATIONAL, INC.

This Report is based on review of the photographs provided by the client and provides a technical recommendation for that specific unit only. 10/4/2021 P. 038 OF 42 KHATRI INTERNATIONAL, INC. Page 2 of 5 STRUCTURAL & CIVIL ENGINEERS Diamond Bar Village HOA R.C.E. # 40833, SE #4391, GENERAL CONTRACTOR #B555505 September 24, 2017 6440 Sky Pointe Dr., #140-299 Las Vegas, NV 89131 www.khatrinternational.com , dkhatri@aol.com Tel. (626) 351-4830 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 2.0 FIELD OBSERVATIONS Figure 1: Cracking in the CJ 2.1 The field photos show a mild crack in one of the CJs that does not appear to be structurally significant but should be Sistered with (N) 2x8 CJ that can be attached with 6d nails @ 24” o.c. The end bearing should be established on the wall plate line to provide full support, or (N) Joist Hangers, depending on how the CJs are supported. 10/4/2021 P. 039 OF 42 KHATRI INTERNATIONAL, INC.

(626) 351-4830 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 2.2 The CJs are not level (as the Photographs show), and should joined with 2x8 Blocking at 6 ft o.c. along the span. This will tie the CJs together to allow them to perform as a diaphragm with composite action between the joists, rather than performing independently as they are now. 10/4/2021 P. 041 OF 42 KHATRI INTERNATIONAL, INC.

(626) 351-4830 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 3.0 CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS 3.1 Block the (E) CJs with 2x8 @ 6 ft o.c. 3.2 Sister the single cracked CJ with 2x8 and provide adequate bearing on the Top Plate of the supporting bearing wall. 4.0 Limitations and Disclaimer The scope of this investigation consists of a physical examination of the subject building for the structural condition, as -built condition, working service life, and recent distress.
