Descripción
This property was developed in 2005. Site plans were submitted to Dept of Inspections and Standards on 10/2/03 clearly identifying developers intention to close an old curb cut on Knight street and open a new one at only 33% of Carpenter street side frontage, while only paving a an area running along the right side of the house from the street. The DPW gave their approval for these plans on 8/23/2005. The developer did not follow what was supposed to be done regarding the curb cuts and paving. This was reported to Jeffery Lykins of Dept of Inspections and Standards on 7/14/2010. No action was taken. An informational packet was delivered to the Mayors office on 8/9/2010. No action was taken. Originator of packet followed up with Mayors office on 8/23/10. That same day Director of Inspections & Standards Sheila McGauvern was made aware and had conversation with concerned neighbor indicating she would send an inspector and issue a violation notice if one was found. Property owner would then have 30 days to appeal to zoning. Sheila expressed her personal opinion to concerned neighbor that she didn't see this as a problem, the problem has existed before she and others took their positions, and even if found to be in violation, no one could truly enforce the issue. She was told a law is a law, it was her job only to enforce and not personally interpret. Again, she is director of this department.

This was posted a month ago. First reported to Inspections & Standards Department on 7/14 then again on 8/23. Why is this property owner above city law? The Mayors office, Mayors Operations Office and Neighborhood Services all receive this notification.
There has been heavy investment in this area this summer, it is becoming harder to look the other way, please step up. Angel Taveras you stood 10 feet away this past Saturday during a neighborhood tree planting. Perhaps your administration will represent the city's citizens better.
