Observation: Interior remodeling for Vina Nails without required permits, plans, approval and inspections.
Officer Rodriguez gave a detailed history of the case and further stated, as of today, the
property is still in non-compliance.
Bobby Brown, Regional Property Manager for Lake Olympia Shopping Center, stated when
the work was being done a permit was apparently not pulled and the business was then sold to
another couple who is trying to remedy the situation. He stated they are asking for an
extension of at least 30-60 days so they can work with a contractor. Officer Rodriguez stated
they have received plans from Mr. Brown and only need the sub-contractor information and
Notice of Commencement (NOC). Member Ballard inquired about J.Z. Construction Group
and if they had submitted for a permit. Mr. Brown stated he does not know the full details
but plans were submitted and he thinks there was an issue with payment being received for
their work. Officer Rodriguez explained that Officer Delgado witnessed the construction of
the Nail Salon and stopped the work and informed the contractors that they had to submit for a
permit. A permit was applied for but was never picked up so inspections were not done
before the construction was completed. Member Ballard inquired when the plans were
originally submitted. Officer Rodriguez stated they were submitted in July of 2007. Mr.
Brown stated he is not sure who did what and when but all he is looking for is an extension of
at least 30 days so he can resolve this problem to meet City Code.
