Home My WebLink About42952 April 20, 2016 Mr. Stephen Dudley,Building Safety Official City of Glendale Building Safety Department 5850 W. Glendale Ave Glendale,AZ 85301 Re:Permit#402952, File#080229-01 Dear Mr. Dudley, My name is Lucinda A. DeLeon and I live at 9813 N. 48th Ave. My intention for writing this letter is to thank Pam and Mark for meeting with me yesterday as well as to explain to you why the permit/construction at my home was never completed. My husband(now ex-husband)was a self employed contractor in 2008. He wanted to build a home office, enclose our one car carport into a garage and build a back patio. (As a side note; due to my ex-husband being a contractor, he handled all the permit issues, as well as anything relating to the remodel. It wasn't until recently; I learned the permit was expired.) Our permit was issued on 2/28/2008 and according to the City's records, on 3/3/2008, we failed the stem wall inspection. According to my ex-husband, the footers on the back patio needed to extend four(4)feet down due to the patio being right next to our pool. On May 9, 2008, a new plan was approved by the City and on 5/19/2008, we passed the footer inspection. I've had the original permit as well as the original"green tag"hanging in my front window ever since. Shortly after the footer inspection,the framing and electrical were done for all three areas. Right around May/June 2008,the construction"crash"happened. Due to my ex-husband's business slowing down and for financial reasons, all construction was stopped. In addition,in May 2009, we filed Ch. 13 bankruptcy, our marriage was over in May 2010, our divorce was final in June 2012 and our bankruptcy was discharged in June 2014. As I'm sure you can imagine the past eight years have been really rough. I've spent the past two years trying to recover from the bankruptcy. In May of this year, I will finally be eligible/able to refinance my home. In addition to removing my ex's name from the mortgage,my goal is to cash out some equity in order to finish my house/construction project. I understand the plans for my house were written using 2006 building code and as of now,the codes were modified in 2012. I am respectfully asking to pick up from where the construction left off and move forward. I have spoken to several contractors who are willing to give me a bid as soon as the City gives me a green light. My goal is to start the construction in June 2016 and have the project completed no later than August 2016. For your review, I've included a copy of the original building/site plans, a copy of the City's record of the inspections as well as current pictures of the back patio, office as well as the car port. As you can see from the pictures,nothing has changed since the construction stopped in 2008. I am aware several of my neighbors called the City to complain about my house not being completed. I apologize for these calls and am hoping to move forward and put the past in the past. Should you have any questions or need any additional information, please feel free to call me on my cell phone at 602-750-9406. Respectfully submitted, Lucinda A.
