Subject: CPRA #25-3549 – Foundational Evidence Request (Case 23-009185, 4880 T Street)  

Thank you for the partial productions to date. To understand the factual basis for the City’s enforcement actions, I need the *underlying evidence* that explains **why** the case was opened, escalated, and repeatedly billed. Please treat each checklist item below as a discrete CPRA request and either produce the record or cite the exemption, custodian, systems searched, and search terms/date ranges used. Routine form letters and boilerplate templates are not helpful—I am looking for the unique documents that show what the City actually saw or relied upon.  

---  

### 1. Originating Complaint & First Inspection (Activities 1–2)  
- [ ] Initial Complaint – 03/20/2023 (Doug Pierson)  
  - complete 311/hotline intake record  
  - complaint narrative & caller statement (date/time stamped)  
  - forwarding email/memo routing the complaint to Code Compliance  
  - if caller identity is redacted, cite the statutory basis  
- [ ] Initial Inspection – 03/20/2023 (Paul Lovato)  
  - inspection worksheet & any field memo created that day  
  - photos and result codes  
  - contact/access notes (e.g., drive-by, refused entry, site contact)  

> These records are the first proof that anything was wrong. Without them, subsequent actions lack a factual foundation.  

### 2. Escalation to Dangerous Building Track (Activities 3–4)  
- [ ] HSG – BUSTER PRELIM – 03/21/2023 (Monica Atkins)  
  - referral checklist or approval memo  
  - supporting evidence: photos, inspector statements, hazard write-ups  
- [ ] Re-Inspection – 04/10/2023 (Paul Lovato)  
  - full field notes and photographs referenced (“Met with neighbors…”)  
  - written request/authorization that led to drafting the first Notice & Order  

> These entries are where the City claims it had enough evidence to escalate; I need to see exactly what was documented.  

### 3. Substance Behind Every Monitoring / Admin Penalty Cycle (Activities 13 forward)  
For each month the log shows “Send n-th admin penalty / monitoring fee” or an `HSG – ADMIN PENALTY` / `HSG – HDB MONITORING` entry, supply:  
- [ ] Inspector worksheet or monitoring log describing what monitoring actually occurred (site observations, vendor/guard reports, photos, call logs, etc.)  
- [ ] Memo/email requesting the fee, including who approved it and why  
- [ ] Distinct records that justified the fee: unique photos, site reports, or “verification sheets” for that month (not generic templates).  
- [ ] If any alternative document type is used (e.g., guard log, vendor report), produce it and identify its title.  

If no monitoring occurred on a given date, please note that explicitly (e.g., “No monitoring performed on 2024-05-23”) so the file is complete. Boilerplate invoice forms alone are not responsive—I need the factual justification those forms should reflect.
If the City cannot locate a monitoring/report document for a billed cycle, please identify that explicitly (e.g., “No monitoring documentation located for 2024-05-23”) so the record shows which fees lack supporting paperwork.

If a responsive record does not exist, provide a signed declaration identifying the custodian, systems searched, and search terms/date ranges. If any portion is exempt, release the non-exempt portion and cite the statute.  

Please acknowledge receipt within 10 days and give an estimated production schedule. Digital delivery (secure download link or email) is preferred.  

Thank you,
