Dear Melissa:
Please accept this letter as a continuation of our phone visit earlier this week regarding 1008 S.
Rock Street. We are making a formal complaint against the property_ It's in extremely
dilapidated condition: overgrown, unsecured, roof leaking badly and in several areas caving in_
The owner, Mrs. Claude Herbert, resides next door at 1000 S. Rock. She is very old and appears
to be beyond being able to effect securing and cleaning up the property_ She and her husband,
before his death several years ago, made an attempt to obtain a demolition permit_ The permit
was denied, I believe blocked by the MacArthur Park District Commission.
Mrs. Herbert's property lies directly beside the Baer House at 1010 S. Rock_ This house belongs
to U. S_ Army Col. (Ret.) Pat C_ Hoy and his wife Ann. Baer house is an extensive restoration of
an 1911 Charles Thompson structure. It's a substantial investment for Pat and Ann and is
threatened by 1008 Rock Street. Attached are several letters that should give additional
background information.

Your efforts in this matter will be much appreciated. I will contact you in two weeks to check on
progress. I feel that we simply cannot allow this situation to continue.
Sincerely yours,
Charles E. Marratt
