LETTER OF APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS:
Thank you for considering my proposal to rehabilitate the house at 514 East 9th Street.
Iy intent is to bring the property back to it's original appearance before years of neglect caused
this structure to deteriorate into its present condition.
Currently the structure is a 5-plex apartment building. yIy plan is to move into the largest
apartment and combine it with one of the smaller apartments so that my son and I have a nice
sized two bedroom home. This will make the structure into a 4-phex. In the future, as I am able to
afford it, I plan to gradualh• convert at least one other apartment into my residence.
I have one other building I own in the area and have included some before and after photos
of the property to show you how much I improved the appearance of the area by restoring that
structure two years ago.
I have already started the rehabilitation process by working on the interior, plumbing,
foundation, and the roof. Assuming approval at your September 3rd meeting, I plan to have the
building complete within 2 months. I purchased it under the FHA 203k program, so the funds are
readily available to proceed.
The impact on the area will be dramatic. The house has nearly limitless potential and is the
last house on the block that has not be rehabilitated. Once it is complete, the area's appearance
will be greatly improved and will have an owner -occupant with a vested interest in trying to
continually improve the McArthur Park Historic District.
Thank you once again for your time and I look forward to appearing in front of you on
September 3rd.
R/obert E. Kennedy
