Important Community Notice

There will be a public hearing:

Monday, February 12 @ 1:30 pm.
Los Angeles City Hall
200 North Spring St. Room 1050

Statement from the Jefferson Park Preservation Coalition:




Do you want this to happen in your backyard?
Please help us protect out historic neighborhood

We believe the Department of Building and Safety erred and abused its discretion in allowing a 3-story addition to a 1-sotry single family residence in a predominantly 1-story R1 neighborhood. This has a great effect on the value and integrity of our neighborhood. We need your help to show that the city erred in allowing this to be built. Please join us at the hearing on Monday. If you are not able to attend the hearing, we urge you to support out community by submitting your comments to City Hall. You may mail a letter to the above address, fax it to 213-978-1334, or email it to jppcla@hotmail.com. You must include the case number: DIR 2006-9632 (BSA). We appreciate your efforts. You may contact the Jefferson Park Preservation Coalition at jppcla@hotmail.com.



I took these digital images this morning between 8 - 9 am. They fail to accurately depict the gross breach of scale, particularly from the rear. The property in question is located on the 2000 block of 29th Place--conspicuous at a great distance!
It is amongst the most egregious, neighborhood-damaging alterations of recent vintage in the low-lying West Adams neighborhoods.
