the scope of work in the previous permits did not trigger ceqa review. the building was miss categorized to category c for some reason that we can't explain. claimed that the construction date is 2017 -- obviously less than 45 years old. that's not the case. the building was built in 1910 and it was or is an age eligible building. the evaluation has not occurred. the d.r. requester, no address provided, is concerned with five main issues. that this project moved and merged three units into a de facto single-family resident without a permit. two, attempted to hide demolition from code enforcement, and three, extended the project into the rear yard without variance, and four, projected into the rear space, and five is tantamount to demolition. to date, the department has received no letters of support or opposition to this project. the department has an outstanding enforcement case open on this project to rectify the work performed without the benefit of a permit. the original 2014 permit included relocating the second floor flat, unit one, to the ground l
