Inglewood board tables two reroof petitions after letters of intent not filed; applicants told to re-serve tenants

The Inglewood Rental Housing Board tabled two capital-improvement petitions and directed applicants to reserve (serve) letters of intent to affected tenants, after staff said required letters had not been filed with the petitions.

For Case 25O0005 (827 West Beach Avenue), board liaison Amari Watson told the board the petition proposes a reroof with total capital expenditure of $43,187, a maximum eligible reimbursement of $21,593.50, and 11 units. The applicant said the work was a full tear-off reroof designed to permanently eliminate leaks and provide a warranted roof system. During questioning, staff said they had no tenant correspondence on record associated with the petition and that a letter of intent was not submitted when the petition was filed.

After deliberation, the board directed the applicant to reserve a letter of intent to affected tenants and tabled the matter to March 11, 2026. A motion to table and direct re-service of the letter of intent was made, seconded and recorded as approved by unanimous vote.

For Case 25O0006 (812 East Hyde Park Boulevard), staff likewise reported that no letter of intent accompanied the petition. The board made and seconded a motion to table Case 25O0006 to March 11, 2026, and directed the applicant to reserve the required letter; the motion passed by recorded voice vote.

At the meeting's public-comment period, an applicant representative said letters of intent had in fact been served to residents and produced an example dated Dec. 1, 2025; staff maintained the letters were required to be submitted with the petition and asked that the applicants resubmit or re-serve the notices prior to the March 11 continued hearing.
