HomeMy WebLinkAboutRE_ Code Violation - Village at Diamond Bar - 23653 Golden Springs Dr__ Diamond Bar_ CA (96).msgRaymond,
I spoke to Yvette yesterday, she advised me that the HOA had approved the funding and chose to work with the contractor we met. As far as she knows, the contractor is still being “held
up” by “long permit processing times”. I remember Esmmy emailing us about the scope of the work and how to best permit it (individual units vs entire buildings), and I believe we provided
the information to the contractor but I’m not sure if they ever called back or went through with processing the permit.
Yvette said she would call the contractor to inquire, but she was under the impression that they were in the process of getting the permit already.

Victor,
Please make arrangements to work with Justin to follow up on the code encirclement status. I don’t think they’ve done anything as far as I am aware.

No, we did not address this issue. We can simply add it to Victor’s correction list though since nothing has even been started.

Justin,
Did we identify this as one of our issues when we went out there and left them a notice? I don’t think it was. This doesn’t look like a safety hazard but more of a nuisance.

CAUTION: This message originated outside of our City of Diamond Bar network.
PLEASE CONFIRM RECEIPT.
As per 01 July 2020:
Per Chapter 22.34.0340.(g) of the Diamond Bar Code of Ordinances, Parking, loading, storage, driveway and vehicle maneuvering areas shall be kept and maintained so as not to detract
from the appearance of adjacent properties and to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the user, occupant, and general public. Areas shall be kept in a neat and clean condition,
free of trash, debris or rubbish, and free of potholes, sinkholes, standing water, cracks and/or broken areas. Parking space and pavement striping and signs shall be repainted, refurbished
and/or replaced when they become faded, damaged, or destroyed to an extent that they are no longer effective. Parking areas shall be periodically resurfaced or sealed to minimize seepage
of water into the ground below.
The attached are pictures of the parking lot at the condominium complex, Village at Diamond Bar located at 23653 Golden Springs Dr., Diamond Bar, CA 91765.
As the pictures clearly show, multiple areas of the driveway and parking areas are not maintained whatsoever. There are many elderly and children that walk and play in the premises and
is an urgent safety hazard. Not only is this a safety hazard, but there are also debris and rubbish throughout. The asphalt is so deteriorated that the ground is exposed as well. The
parking areas have clearly not been maintained and have not been resurfaced or sealed in a long time. This is is also an environmental hazard, which would cause groundwater seepage
below the surface causing damage and hazard to neighboring properties as the deterioration is in very close proximity.
As a concerned resident of Diamond Bar, I would like the city to do their due diligence and investigate what is being done to remedy this clear violation, and please follow up with me
with solid action.
The HOA can be reached via email or phone:
