Illegal Rental Unit in Long Beach

[Candida Rosas]

I own a 4-unit building in Long Beach (with an illegal unit in the back).  When we bought this building, the illegal unit was rented, and we continued to rent it after we bought it until we received a Notice from the City saying we could not rent it, with an order to pay the tenants to move, so we haven't been renting it for years now.

We have heard that the City is now allowing garages that were illegal to be re-instated, and allowing owners to rent these units.  

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do to petition the City to re-instate these illegal units?  

Thank you!
