Full summary

On January 9, 2026, Councilmember Curren D. Price, Jr. introduced a motion, seconded by Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez, directing the Department of Building and Safety to waive all fees, charges, and accumulated interest associated with the property at 1342 West 59th Place — with one explicit exception: a Non-Compliance Code Enforcement Fee of $660, which the property owner would still be required to pay. The motion effectively provided the owner relief from the full weight of accumulated city fees while preserving the core penalty for the underlying code violation. The motion was referred to the Planning and Land Use Management Committee, which took it up at its March 10, 2026 meeting. After allowing public comment, the committee voted to approve the motion as written, with members Blumenfield, Hutt, Lee, and Raman all voting yes and Nazarian absent. No community impact statements were submitted, and neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative Analyst completed a formal fiscal analysis before the committee acted. The City Clerk scheduled the item for the full Council on March 25, 2026. Council adopted the measure that day by a vote of 12-0-3 and the action became final on March 28, 2026. The file is now closed. No background documents explaining the origin or history of the fees at this property were included in the record, so the specific circumstances that prompted the fee waiver request are not detailed in the available materials.
