# Fresno Building Standards Appeals Board 10-20-2026

The Fresno Building Standards Appeals Board met on October 20, 2026. The board approved a request to continue a code-enforcement matter at 3436 North Virginia Lane (case E25-1383) to December 15 or a later convenient date. For case E26-04602, concerning unpermitted exterior siding work, the city asked the board to affirm a first administrative citation; the property owner’s representative said the required permits had since been issued and the original violations corrected. The board voted to affirm the citation and set a progress hearing for December 15, 2026.

The board also heard an appeal concerning the Water’s Edge Apartments, a 72-unit development at 330 South Clovis Avenue. The building official had denied a request to use two 6-inch sanitary sewer lines at a 1% slope instead of the proposed code-compliant 8-inch arrangement. The applicant cited site utility constraints and estimated project flows of about 26,000 gallons per day against a stated 6-inch pipe capacity of 126,000 gallons per day. The board voted to approve the appeal and overturn the building official’s denial of the alternate-means-and-methods request. No procurement awards, contracts, or spending actions were identified.
