This section is included in your selections.

A. A person who wishes to apply for a tentative map or parcel map to convert to condominiums may request a determination as to whether any building to be converted complies with applicable local laws on the form required by the City.

B. Upon receipt of a request for determination the City shall perform a record review and site inspection, and provide a determination regarding compliance with such local laws.

C. Determinations under this section shall state what work must be corrected prior to recordation of a final map, what actions, if any, must be taken in order to bring the property into compliance, and shall require full disclosure of all remaining violations, including unpermitted work, to the homeowners’ association and all purchasers of each unit to be created. The disclosure must also be recorded with the County and may not be removed until the City confirms that all violations have been corrected.

D. Only the following types of violations must be corrected prior to recordation of the final map:

1. Violations of the Zoning Ordinance that result in the creation of new units or the addition of 100 square feet or more of habitable space on the property; and

2. Visible violations of local laws that govern the structural or fire safety of buildings, the safety of their major systems, such as plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems, or Health and Safety Code Section 17920.3, to the extent that they are likely to endanger the occupants or the public.

E. A determination under this section shall not constitute approval of any work that was done without a permit or any other violation of any applicable code or ordinance or preclude the City from requiring correction of identified violations subsequent to recordation of a final subdivision map, and shall not preclude the City from requiring additional corrective action if additional noncomplying conditions are discovered.
