Subject: Re: 20260309_Notice of Decision - Scarry
Thank you, but I prefer to have the unlawful ordinance that allows you to charge.
essentially a fine in order to appeal an infraction rescinded immediately . If you
returning my money prevents me from taking this to court to get this ordinance
eliminated then don’t send back the money.
There is data available it may not be a list form, but it is tied to my property and available
to the public because the neighbors have accused me of running a fraternity on both my
526 Kentucky and 1229 Frederick St. and I am not.
They have cited specific language from the city code enforcement office.
I want to have that removed because it is erroneous and damages my reputation. I’d like
to have your departments stop harassing my tenants and myself.
I’ve had multiple tenants in both properties over the years that are generally unrelated to
fraternities. I don’t ask tenants what clubs or fraternities they belong too or other
personal questions.
I think the city would probably be better off, allowing fraternities in a more zones
because then they could require a use permit, which could allow them more control
whenever there’s a violation . Right now they could have a satellite house anywhere and
there’s really nothing the city can do other than noise violations.
Regarding the “premised property” blacklist that the police department keeps as a
matter of policy in order to escalate fines against anyone who answers the door is also
unlawful. You cannot escalate a fine for an infraction based on the person who answers
the door and that is what you have done for years.
I would prefer not to go to court, but that seems to be the only way that your office is able
to do the right thing.
This is the first time that you’re hearing officer Mr Karlin was actually rendered an
unbiased decision. In the past regarding noise violations, he has been completely biased
and has apparently not read his job description because he has refused to question
people in the process of investigating the violation as his job description specifically
requires.
Recently, you’re police department blacklist “premised property “list has been
extended from one apartment to an entire apartment complex whenever there is a
warning or a noise violation.
I work very hard to try to keep my tenants in compliance with the codes and ordinances
But there’s really no reward for that because every time I appeal a noise, violation and
show that I have instigated liquidated damages against the tenants I’ve sent warning
letters. I’ve done everything in my power to keep them from having a noise, violation or
code violation. I still receive a fine for Mr. Carlin
I don’t know exactly how many tenants I have but I’m guessing between 150 and 175
students and I get very few violations per year but because the city is no longer capable
of being reasonable I have to take it to court every time. When Dan Blankey was your
hearing officer I never had a single problem because he understood that I was doing my
part to minimize bad behavior by the student tenants.
I even had two houses next-door to him so he knew exactly how I handled the tenants.
I look forward to your response and I would much prefer to resolve both your blacklist
procedures and your essentially fine that needs to be paid in order to appeal an
infraction issued by your departments .
I’ve requested the analysis of how you came up with the cost to appeal It seems difficult
to imagine that the cost is related to a percentage of the fine that simply is illogical .
Thank you

Dear Mr. Scarry,
I’ve had an opportunity to review the complete record of the underlying citations
and your appeal of Administrative Citation #ADM42008 (1229 Fredericks
Street) related to your requests that the City 1) refund your appeal fee and 2)
remove you and your properties from all “lists,” including “blacklisted premised
property”. Your request was based on your appeal being granted on March
9th,which I confirm will result in both fines ($100 and $500) being revoked.
In general, the fee charged for the appeal reflects the City’s costs in providing
the appeal process, and those costs are not refunded whether or not the
appellant prevails. However, after a full review, we have concluded that there
were procedural errors related to the issuance of the underlying citations and,
based on the unique facts in this instance, we will direct that your appeal fee be
refunded in addition to revocation of the fines associated with the citation. I
sincerely apologize for the inconvenience the City’s error caused you.
As to your second request, the City does not maintain any “no warning” list of
properties cited for land use violations. You may be thinking of the noise
ordinance “no warning” list. This “no warning” list relates to Section 9.12.110 of
the municipal code, which states that “Once a violation of any provision of this
chapter has been verified by a noise control or police officer, the owner(s) of
the property where the violation occurred may be subject to administrative
action or citation for allowing a subsequent violation of this chapter to occur on
the property within nine months after the date of a previous violation, provided
the property owner has received notification from the city of the previous
violation and at least fourteen days have passed since the date the notification
was mailed to the property owner(s).” If a tenant has received a noise violation
over the past year, the property gets listed on the “no warning list,” and the
tenants are no longer entitled to a courtesy warning prior to issuance of an
administrative citation for a subsequent violation of the Noise Control ordinance
(Chapter 9.12 of the municipal code). When a property is on the “no warning”
list, a property owner may be cited for subsequent violations committed by the
tenants occurring at the property of the owner because such repeat violations
constitute a recurring nuisance use of property for which the property owner is
ultimately responsible, after notice. No such “no warning” list or process
specifically exists for zoning code violations, so there is no list from which to
remove your property in the current context.
Zoning code violations generally relate to land use, permitting and/or property
maintenance violations on properties for which owners are always ultimately
responsible for compliance. Unless there is an immediate health or safety
issue, the first occurrence of those types of violations is generally issued a
Notice to Correct, which is sent directly to the property owner in the first
instance. Failures to correct or recurrences of the same type of violation will
then result in a citation to the owner. As it relates to the property that was the
subject of your appeal, I do want to caution that a valid (albeit delayed) Notice
to Correct a violation of fraternity use regulations was issued on 11/20/2025 for
a violation that was documented to have occurred on 9/27/2025, so please do
advise your tenants that subsequent confirmed violations of those provisions
can result in citation to you.
Again, I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and I appreciate your
patience to allow me time to review the full history and record.
Best,
Christine

I’m also requesting that you immediately remove me and my properties from

another illegal method that you use for harassing tenants and landlords .
Your continuous, false accusations and reports are tarnishing my reputation

Please show me the proof that you have removed my properties from all of

Mr. Scarry, the citations were issued for 9/28 and 10/3, and those were the subject of the appeal and the hearing officer’s review and dismissal. If I am understanding the
record correctly, there was a Notice to Correct (not a citation) sent to you by Code Enforcement regarding an event on 9/27, and I believe John Mezzapesa also provided you
with a social media post promoting the event and a couple of pictures supporting the contention that the event in fact occurred at the property on the date advertised. That is
what I was referring to as the prior notice that I was hoping you could reinforce with your tenants.
Best,
Christine

Regarding any future violations you’re hearing officer determined that there was not a fraternity function there . Absolutely no evidence was provided from your
community development department that a fraternity is
operating there . So how can you say that if they have a future violation that I’ve already been warned?
Community development department has met none of the criteria to validate their claim other than a false accusation so again I have to ask how you’ve concluded that’s
the notice to correct is valid?

I would prefer not to go to court, but that seems to be the only way that your office is able to do the right thing.
This is the first time that you’re hearing officer Mr Karlin was actually rendered an unbiased decision. In the past regarding noise violations, he has been
completely biased and has apparently not read his job description because he has refused to question people in the process of investigating the violation as
his job description specifically requires.
Recently, you’re police department blacklist “premised property “list has been extended from one apartment to an entire apartment complex whenever there
is a warning or a noise violation.
I work very hard to try to keep my tenants in compliance with the codes and ordinances
But there’s really no reward for that because every time I appeal a noise, violation and show that I have instigated liquidated damages against the tenants I’ve
sent warning letters. I’ve done everything in my power to keep them from having a noise, violation or code violation. I still receive a fine for Mr. Carlin
I don’t know exactly how many tenants I have but I’m guessing between 150 and 175 students and I get very few violations per year but because the city is no
longer capable of being reasonable I have to take it to court every time. When Dan Blankey was your hearing officer I never had a single problem because he
understood that I was doing my part to minimize bad behavior by the student tenants.
I even had two houses next-door to him so he knew exactly how I handled the tenants.
I look forward to your response and I would much prefer to resolve both your blacklist procedures and your essentially fine that needs to be paid in order to
appeal an infraction issued by your departments .
I’ve requested the analysis of how you came up with the cost to appeal It seems difficult to imagine that the cost is related to a percentage of the fine that
simply is illogical .
Thank you

Dear Mr. Scarry,
I’ve had an opportunity to review the complete record of the underlying citations and your appeal of Administrative Citation #ADM42008 (1229
Fredericks Street) related to your requests that the City 1) refund your appeal fee and 2) remove you and your properties from all “lists,” including
“blacklisted premised property”. Your request was based on your appeal being granted on March 9th,which I confirm will result in both fines ($100 and
$500) being revoked.
In general, the fee charged for the appeal reflects the City’s costs in providing the appeal process, and those costs are not refunded whether or not the
appellant prevails. However, after a full review, we have concluded that there were procedural errors related to the issuance of the underlying citations
and, based on the unique facts in this instance, we will direct that your appeal fee be refunded in addition to revocation of the fines associated with the
citation. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience the City’s error caused you.
As to your second request, the City does not maintain any “no warning” list of properties cited for land use violations. You may be thinking of the noise
ordinance “no warning” list. This “no warning” list relates to Section 9.12.110 of the municipal code, which states that “Once a violation of any provision
of this chapter has been verified by a noise control or police officer, the owner(s) of the property where the violation occurred may be subject to
administrative action or citation for allowing a subsequent violation of this chapter to occur on the property within nine months after the date of a
previous violation, provided the property owner has received notification from the city of the previous violation and at least fourteen days have passed
since the date the notification was mailed to the property owner(s).” If a tenant has received a noise violation over the past year, the property gets
listed on the “no warning list,” and the tenants are no longer entitled to a courtesy warning prior to issuance of an administrative citation for a
subsequent violation of the Noise Control ordinance (Chapter 9.12 of the municipal code). When a property is on the “no warning” list, a property
owner may be cited for subsequent violations committed by the tenants occurring at the property of the owner because such repeat violations
constitute a recurring nuisance use of property for which the property owner is ultimately responsible, after notice. No such “no warning” list or process
specifically exists for zoning code violations, so there is no list from which to remove your property in the current context.
ultimately responsible for compliance. Unless there is an immediate health or safety issue, the first occurrence of those types of violations is generally
issued a Notice to Correct, which is sent directly to the property owner in the first instance. Failures to correct or recurrences of the same type of
violation will then result in a citation to the owner. As it relates to the property that was the subject of your appeal, I do want to caution that a valid
(albeit delayed) Notice to Correct a violation of fraternity use regulations was issued on 11/20/2025 for a violation that was documented to have
occurred on 9/27/2025, so please do advise your tenants that subsequent confirmed violations of those provisions can result in citation to you.
Again, I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and I appreciate your patience to allow me time to review the full history and record.
Best,
Christine

Mr. Scarry, the citations were issued for 9/28 and 10/3, and those were the subject of the appeal and the hearing officer’s review and dismissal. If I am understanding the
record correctly, there was a Notice to Correct (not a citation) sent to you by Code Enforcement regarding an event on 9/27, and I believe John Mezzapesa also provided you
with a social media post promoting the event and a couple of pictures supporting the contention that the event in fact occurred at the property on the date advertised. That is
what I was referring to as the prior notice that I was hoping you could reinforce with your tenants.
Best,
Christine

Thank you, but I prefer to have the unlawful ordinance that allows you to charge. essentially a
fine in order to appeal an infraction rescinded immediately . If you returning my money
prevents me from taking this to court to get this ordinance eliminated then don’t send back the
money.
There is data available it may not be a list form, but it is tied to my property and available to
the public because the neighbors have accused me of running a fraternity on both my 526
Kentucky and 1229 Frederick St. and I am not.
They have cited specific language from the city code enforcement office.
I want to have that removed because it is erroneous and damages my reputation. I’d like to
have your departments stop harassing my tenants and myself.
I’ve had multiple tenants in both properties over the years that are generally unrelated to
fraternities. I don’t ask tenants what clubs or fraternities they belong too or other personal
questions.
I think the city would probably be better off, allowing fraternities in a more zones because
then they could require a use permit, which could allow them more control whenever there’s a
violation . Right now they could have a satellite house anywhere and there’s really nothing the
city can do other than noise violations.
Regarding the “premised property” blacklist that the police department keeps as a matter of
policy in order to escalate fines against anyone who answers the door is also unlawful. You
cannot escalate a fine for an infraction based on the person who answers the door and that is
what you have done for years.
I would prefer not to go to court, but that seems to be the only way that your office is able to
do the right thing.
This is the first time that you’re hearing officer Mr Karlin was actually rendered an unbiased
decision. In the past regarding noise violations, he has been completely biased and has
apparently not read his job description because he has refused to question people in the
process of investigating the violation as his job description specifically requires.
Recently, you’re police department blacklist “premised property “list has been extended from
one apartment to an entire apartment complex whenever there is a warning or a noise
violation.
I work very hard to try to keep my tenants in compliance with the codes and ordinances
But there’s really no reward for that because every time I appeal a noise, violation and show
that I have instigated liquidated damages against the tenants I’ve sent warning letters. I’ve
done everything in my power to keep them from having a noise, violation or code violation. I
still receive a fine for Mr. Carlin
I don’t know exactly how many tenants I have but I’m guessing between 150 and 175 students
and I get very few violations per year but because the city is no longer capable of being
reasonable I have to take it to court every time. When Dan Blankey was your hearing officer I
never had a single problem because he understood that I was doing my part to minimize bad
behavior by the student tenants.
I even had two houses next-door to him so he knew exactly how I handled the tenants.
I look forward to your response and I would much prefer to resolve both your blacklist
procedures and your essentially fine that needs to be paid in order to appeal an infraction
I’ve requested the analysis of how you came up with the cost to appeal It seems difficult to
imagine that the cost is related to a percentage of the fine that simply is illogical .
Thank you

Dear Mr. Scarry,
I’ve had an opportunity to review the complete record of the underlying citations
and your appeal of Administrative Citation #ADM42008 (1229 Fredericks
Street) related to your requests that the City 1) refund your appeal fee and 2)
remove you and your properties from all “lists,” including “blacklisted premised
property”. Your request was based on your appeal being granted on March
9th,which I confirm will result in both fines ($100 and $500) being revoked.
In general, the fee charged for the appeal reflects the City’s costs in providing
the appeal process, and those costs are not refunded whether or not the
appellant prevails. However, after a full review, we have concluded that there
were procedural errors related to the issuance of the underlying citations and,
based on the unique facts in this instance, we will direct that your appeal fee be
refunded in addition to revocation of the fines associated with the citation. I
sincerely apologize for the inconvenience the City’s error caused you.
As to your second request, the City does not maintain any “no warning” list of
properties cited for land use violations. You may be thinking of the noise
ordinance “no warning” list. This “no warning” list relates to Section 9.12.110 of
the municipal code, which states that “Once a violation of any provision of this
chapter has been verified by a noise control or police officer, the owner(s) of
the property where the violation occurred may be subject to administrative
action or citation for allowing a subsequent violation of this chapter to occur on
the property within nine months after the date of a previous violation, provided
the property owner has received notification from the city of the previous
violation and at least fourteen days have passed since the date the notification
was mailed to the property owner(s).” If a tenant has received a noise violation
over the past year, the property gets listed on the “no warning list,” and the
tenants are no longer entitled to a courtesy warning prior to issuance of an
administrative citation for a subsequent violation of the Noise Control ordinance
(Chapter 9.12 of the municipal code). When a property is on the “no warning”
list, a property owner may be cited for subsequent violations committed by the
tenants occurring at the property of the owner because such repeat violations
constitute a recurring nuisance use of property for which the property owner is
ultimately responsible, after notice. No such “no warning” list or process
specifically exists for zoning code violations, so there is no list from which to
remove your property in the current context.
Zoning code violations generally relate to land use, permitting and/or property
maintenance violations on properties for which owners are always ultimately
responsible for compliance. Unless there is an immediate health or safety
issue, the first occurrence of those types of violations is generally issued a
Notice to Correct, which is sent directly to the property owner in the first
instance. Failures to correct or recurrences of the same type of violation will
then result in a citation to the owner. As it relates to the property that was the
subject of your appeal, I do want to caution that a valid (albeit delayed) Notice
to Correct a violation of fraternity use regulations was issued on 11/20/2025 for
a violation that was documented to have occurred on 9/27/2025, so please do
advise your tenants that subsequent confirmed violations of those provisions
can result in citation to you.
Again, I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and I appreciate your
patience to allow me time to review the full history and record.
Best,
Christine

Since I haven’t heard from you about refunding my money for the fine that that you call an
appeals fee.
Please send me a cost-of-service study showing proportionality of your fee (fine) for all
appeals both community development department and police department as well as any
other department that you decided it’s appropriate to fine a citizen as opposed to listen
to their appeal.
I’m also requesting
the resolution adopting the October 2024 fee, the user fee study calculations specifically for
appeal hearings, and any Prop 26 findings.
I will also need a list all of the people who have been affected by this since 2024 when the
ordinance was put in the place in order to file for a refund of all of their fees and all of
their fines. Many people have opted to pay the fine instead of pay the 25% of the fine
for an application which statistically would be denied by the cities review boards.
I expect you to supply this information within the next 10 days that should be plenty of time
because that’s how much time you allow for all of your appeals process applications .

the resolution adopting the October 2024 fee, the user fee study calculations specifically for
appeal hearings, and any Prop 26 findings.
I will also need a list all of the people who have been affected by this since 2024 when the
ordinance was put in the place in order to file for a refund of all of their fees and all of
their fines. Many people have opted to pay the fine instead of pay the 25% of the fine
for an application which statistically would be denied by the cities review boards.
I expect you to supply this information within the next 10 days that should be plenty of time
because that’s how much time you allow for all of your appeals process applications .

Subject: 1229 Fredericks , Case Code-000282-2025
Hello John,
I don’t see anything to appeal here.
There is simply an accusation that the people living at 1229 Frederick are operating a
fraternity.
The burden of proof is not on my tenants or me the burden of proof is on the city. I have
no more access to confidential records of Calpoly than the city does.
The city has not provided any concrete proof.
Can you please help us by providing the address that the fraternity in question held
events ?
We are taking the appropriate actions to prevent the tenants from operating a fraternity
at 1229 Fredrick street
The letter that you sent unfortunately does not provide sufficient evidence to prove that
a fraternity is operating there.
If I need to file an appeal, please consider this my appeal and understand that I have
taken the appropriate actions to remind the tenants that having a fraternity operating at
that address would be a violation of their lease and city ordinances and is not
permissible.
If you have further evidence that would conclude that they had a sponsored fraternity
event on the dates you have cited please do share it with me and I will have my attorney
take the appropriate actions.
Have you notified the tenants at 1229 about your concerns? Have you contacted the
fraternity in question?
If so, have you gotten any kind of a response?
Thanks for your cooperation
David

Hi Stephen and John
Thank you for acknowledging everything
I am doing the best to enforce the cities ordinance at this point Unfortunately, the city
has not provided any actual lawful evidences that there is a fraternity operating at 1229
Fredrick In the meantime, I have informed them they would be violation of our lease If
they have fraternity sponsored activities there and violating the city ordinances we do
not allow that.
When you have proof please provide it .

I am attaching the Administrative Citation Appel Form for a citation with the
property address of 1229 Fredericks San Luis Obispo.
We are appealing this violation as the property owner who did not host or
participate in any event at this address. Also, my lease with my tenants does
not allow for any such events to take place on my property during their
tenancy.
I will also mail the Administrative Citation Appel Form along with the check
for the appeal fee today.
I appreciate your review of this citation.

Subject: 1229 Fredericks , Case Code-000282-2025
Hello John,
I don’t see anything to appeal here.
There is simply an accusation that the people living at 1229 Frederick are operating a
fraternity.
The burden of proof is not on my tenants or me the burden of proof is on the city. I have
no more access to confidential records of Calpoly than the city does.
The city has not provided any concrete proof.
Can you please help us by providing the address that the fraternity in question held
events ?
We are taking the appropriate actions to prevent the tenants from operating a fraternity
at 1229 Fredrick street
The letter that you sent unfortunately does not provide sufficient evidence to prove that
a fraternity is operating there.
If I need to file an appeal, please consider this my appeal and understand that I have
taken the appropriate actions to remind the tenants that having a fraternity operating at
that address would be a violation of their lease and city ordinances and is not
permissible.
If you have further evidence that would conclude that they had a sponsored fraternity
event on the dates you have cited please do share it with me and I will have my attorney
take the appropriate actions.
Have you notified the tenants at 1229 about your concerns? Have you contacted the
fraternity in question?
If so, have you gotten any kind of a response?
Thanks for your cooperation
David

Hi Stephen and John
Thank you for acknowledging everything
I am doing the best to enforce the cities ordinance at this point Unfortunately, the city
has not provided any actual lawful evidences that there is a fraternity operating at 1229
Fredrick In the meantime, I have informed them they would be violation of our lease If
they have fraternity sponsored activities there and violating the city ordinances we do
not allow that.
When you have proof please provide it .

I am attaching the Administrative Citation Appel Form for a citation with the
property address of 1229 Fredericks San Luis Obispo.
We are appealing this violation as the property owner who did not host or
participate in any event at this address. Also, my lease with my tenants does
not allow for any such events to take place on my property during their
tenancy.
I will also mail the Administrative Citation Appel Form along with the check
for the appeal fee today.
I appreciate your review of this citation.
