Had a fantastic week!
learned alot...
spent some time with the building inspector of the Cape Town CBD due to illegal night club a block down from the firm i'm working at that causes too much of a lawaai in the evenings,
We did some research and it turns out the building is registered as a restaurant, and was breaking countless land use laws all in one breath next week we will be breaking the news to them.
This process is done in the following manner:
1. go to the title deeds office and aquire the erf's newest title deed to date as well as the site diagram and locality plan(basicly a zoomed out version of the site plan)
2.request a list of plaintives pertaining to the erf in question and get written statements of their complaints, (this is usually simplified by you typing a letter and letting them sign it)
3.Go to the council office and request from the copies and archive desk a list of building plans handed in to date for that property, every property that changes its use ex. from a night club to a pet store needs to hand in a previously approved plans as well as the new plans for approval.
4.If this is not the case then they are operating illegally, the next step will be to request a land use approval sheet from the (don't know the correct term probably land surveyors desk) but the 2nd desk and reguest if this property has permission to use this land for running a night club.
Not the case? 2nd strike for them, then you fill in a complaint form which means the building will be visited by the building inspector and late night disturbance is solved!
enjoy the weekend
