(APN 556-127-05-00) was the site of a structure fire that resulted in severe damage to the
building; and
WHEREAS, the City's Building Official conducted an evaluation of the structure
and deemed it a dangerous building due to the extent of the damage to the remaining structural
elements of the building; and
WHEREAS, the inspection revealed violations of the National City Municipal
Code and California Building Codes caused by non -permitted construction that was deemed to
present life and safety concerns; and
WHEREAS, on July 10, 2012, based on the immediate life safety concerns and
the adjoining businesses, and as allowed by law, the City issued a Notice of Dangerous Building
directing the owner to obtain a demolition permit and complete the demolition of the structure no
later than July 17, 2012; and
WHEREAS, on July 17, 2012, a contractor hired by the owner obtained a
demolition permit to perform the demolition work, but withdrew his name from the permit that
same day and was no longer involved in the project; and
WHEREAS, on July 24, 2012, after an evaluation of the structure by a structural
engineer hired by the City, it was determined that the structure had sustained substantial
damage and that it was an immediate safety hazard to the surrounding properties and the public

WHEREAS, because the owner of the property has failed to bring the property
into compliance with law and abate the public nuisance by obtaining a permit to demolish the
