He stated that there is a lack of parking and open space; that the balconies are 42" by 3-1/2' wide, and on the first floor, and that four apartments share the entrance porch; that there are six feet of living open space per apartment, and that it cannot be used because it pro- vides the only access; and that the owner has not discussed with tenants whether or not they would wish to purchase the con- verted condominium in which they live.
