Home My WebLink AboutRE_ 1470 Valley Vista # 204 - COMPLAINT (32)Hi Esmmy, I just responded to the forwarded email from LA County. I copied you on it. She is insisting that verbal is not acceptable despite both of us telling her we would not be writing a report.

Waiting for that to be assigned to me from City Clerk’s office. She has apparently also received a response from LACo Fire via email and they copied Frank where they indicate that the fire extinguisher will be placed back to the original location. She was very concerned since it is not possible with the new double doors. I told her it was probably just a misunderstanding and once they relocate it, it addresses that issue.

We spoke to the contractor and he agreed to anchor the fire extinguisher to the existing door that will be removed, expose the header of the double door, and obtain the closers for the door. He stated he would call an inspection which should occur near Thursday. I spoke to the property management company and the complainant. As discussed, the complainant wants to get info on how to release plans and asked about Fire follow up. I did tell her we will likely close the case next week.
