The board decided the unpermitted enclosed and covered patio additions at 1347 E. Shields Ave. violate city code and upheld the enforcement order. The property owner must correct the confirmed violations (the order contemplates a 30‑day correction period), and staff encouraged the owner to coordinate with the Building Division, which may offer flexibility on timelines if steady progress toward compliance is shown. For residents, this means the city is enforcing permit requirements for structural changes and prioritizing remedies that address potential life‑safety issues.
