West Covina Municipal Code § 26-363 Conversion to condominium

(a) Any building or structure proposed to be converted from residential rental housing to a condominium shall require a conditional use permit and shall be found by the Planning Commission to be in substantial conformance with Section 66427.1 (Subdivision Map Act) and the West Covina General Plan and applicable sections of the Municipal Code.

(b) The structural, electrical, fire, and life safety systems of the structure either are, or are proposed to be prior to the sale of the units, in a condition of good repair and maintenance, including such alterations or repairs as are required by the building official.

(Ord. No. 2519, § 5(Exh. A), 2-20-24)

All tenants occupying a unit shall be given written notice of the proposed conversion pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code Section 66427.1 (Subdivision Map Act) and a nontransferable right of first refusal to purchase the occupied unit at the same or at better terms than those offered to the general public. Such right of first refusal shall be effective for a period of not less than ninety (90) days from the date at which such units are offered for sale to the public, as described in California Government Code Section 66427.1. The tenant may waive any such right by executing a written notice to that effect or by terminating his or her tenancy and vacating the unit without acting on the right.
