Ocean Beach – Condominiumized?

[jpinpb]

They’re doing that in PB too. Splitting the lots. I laugh at the prices, also. It is a recipe for trouble. I don’t know how the city can approve these things, but greed goes everywhere and I’m sure they got some money for the splitting of the lots. The hell w/the homeowners. Let them figure it out.

Can you imagine owning your place and behind you (or in front) the owner rents it out to some college frat kids partying and trashing the place? No thanks. Your recourse, to call the police or absent owner (like he’ll give a crap as long as he gets his rent).

Good question. I don’t know if there’s a way. Buying both places is a way to go around it, I guess. One way.

Good question indeed. This is going to be tough. In many cases these properties used to be fee simple ownership of two or more houses on one parcel(apn) that were “condominiumized” so that the units could be sold separately in the height of the bubble. So returning to that status might be possible but the city would probably want the units to meet current standards for density, setbacks etc or go through a variance process, all likely a real hard deal or impossible. I don’t really see anything but economic loss and emotional suffering in doing such a thing.I believe 2 Condominiums is a”higher and better use” than a 2 on 1.
Getting the property from a condo to separate sell-able fee simple properties is going to be even harder, although it might create more equity. The city always gets money for this stuff and these projects drive the economy a little through employment for third parties such as surveyors and engineers,so with building/development down hard maybe there are less roadblocks than there normally are to getting things done. I doubt it though.
