Elm Street (APN 043-082-01) as an Abatement Action MEETING DATE: March 19, 1997 PREPARED BY: Community Development Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the scope of work for the above abatement action and authorize advertising for bids. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project is an abatement action to eliminate the hazard conditions that are caused by a collapsing commercial structure at the above-mentioned address, owned by Herman & I. Weber TRS. This building has been in a state of increasing decay and dilapidation for several years. The property owner was initially issued a Notice of Public Nuisance and Order to Abate on February 6, 1996, by Building Inspector James H. Siemers, from the Community Development Department's Building Division. That notice ordered that the structure on the property in question be demolished and the property cleared of any rubbish and debris. Furthermore, that notice required that all demolition work begin within thirty (30) days and be completed within ninety (90) days from the date of that notice. Since the issuance of that initial notice, Mr. Weber has repeatedly asked for and been granted extensions to the deadlines that were initially established. However, during those extensions, the only action that the owner has taken is to obtain an asbestos survey for the structure in question. On November 13, 1996, this case was transferred to the Community Improvement Division. A second Notice and Order was issued to the property owner on December 6, 1996, ordering the demolition to be started by January 6, 1997 and completed by January 20, 1997. To this date, there has been no progress in the demolition and abatement of the dangerous building conditions. Mr. Weber has not filed any appeal seeking relief from our abatement orders. According to the asbestos survey report that was provided by Mr. Weber, the asbestos that has been found in or on the building will have to be abated during the demolition of the structure. For that reason, the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District will place special requirements on the abatement contractor in order to prevent contamination of surrounding vicinities during the demolition.

The scope of the survey was to identify suspect materials that may be impacted by the demolition of the buildings located on the above listed property. These services were performed by ESS as required by NESHAPS for the renovation or demolition of any building scheduled in a commercial transaction planned for demolition or renovation. LIMITED BULK SAMPLING REPORT Materials suspected of containing asbestos that were identified and sampled include; floor coverings, floor covering mastics, pipe insulation and roofing materials. Sampling and Analysis Collection of samples was performed by Shane Jones an AHERA accredited inspector licensed as a California Asbestos Consultant. A total of 18 samples were collected and analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) with dispersion staining as described in the `Interim Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Samples", Method EPA -600/M4-82-020 (Federal RegisterNolume 47, No. 103, May 27, 1982.). Samples were analyzed by CAP Environmental Laboratories, Inc. located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
