Thank you for your prompt response. Part of the damage to Unit K14 is accessible by balcony.
Also, is it possible to update the city's records regarding the current resident of: 23617 Golden Springs Dr Unit K-14?
The vacate notice was addressed to "Theresa Chu"...unless that is the homeowner's name. I was told my landlord's name was Shaw Wen Chu and that's who I've made payments to over the
past 10-11 years.
Thank you again for your assistance,
Kerri Hunter

Good morning Kerri,
Thank you for making contact. I can appreciate your situation and am trying to proactively look into this further. I have been requesting the HOA to allow me access the structure in
greater detail. I have not had any response but am trying to arrange to do a more invasive investigation late this morning. If I'm able to arrange appropriately, I will see if I can
get access to the area. Once I am able to do that, I may be able to get a clearer picture of the extent of damage. Once I do that, I will be able to follow-up better with you. Unfortunately,
I am not getting a response from the HOA so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to investigate.

Hello Mr. Tao,
My name is Kerri Hunter. I have been a tenant at Diamond Bar Village Unit K14 for the past 10-11 years. I would have moved earlier, but was under the impression from my landlord that
the repairs were forthcoming. In addition, there were marked improvements once Yvette Allen became the Property Manager. Unfortunately as a tenant (not homeowner), I was unaware of
the 2017 Structural Engineering report nor lack of HOA funds for the necessary repairs.
I am writing you to request additional time to vacate. I secured a self storage unit and P.O. Box on Friday October 1st after the tags went up. Unfortunately, I am a single parent of
a 7 year old with special needs so all packing and moving falls on me. I am moving COMPLETELY out but may not make the October 18th deadline. I have even informed friends that I am
giving away large furniture items for free if any are interested and can pick up the item(s) by October 16th. My employer, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, has given me a 30 Day Leave
of Absence so that I can focus on vacating. I will worry about housing after I vacate.
In addition, since my landlord won't be able to rent the unit to anyone else I suggested that she be contacted to see if she would be willing to volunteer her unit as one of the structural
testing sites. It's on the Southeast corner of the K Building, near the laundry room & mailboxes, and already has open holes (see attached photos) apparently from John Wayne Construction's
structural engineering assessment. One caveat, there are popcorn ceilings which I believe are usually indicative of asbestos.
In conclusion, please consider my request for additional time to completely move out.
Sincerely,
Kerri Hunter
