What this form is
When a recorded Covenant and Agreement on a Long Beach property (such as a building-maintenance or fill-disclosure covenant) is no longer needed, the Building Official terminates it using this form (AFF-007), and the owner must approve the termination. Because the termination is itself recorded against the property, the owner's approval signature must be notarized.
Who needs it
Owners of Long Beach property with a previously recorded Covenant and Agreement that the Building Official has agreed can be terminated.
Why it needs a notary
The form states 'Notary acknowledgements for each signature must be attached to this document' for the owner's approval of the termination.
