What this form is
Long Beach's Building and Safety Bureau records this covenant (AFF-005) when a property has fill material that was not engineer-certified, so the condition is disclosed to future owners through the public record. Because the covenant runs with the land, it must be recorded with the County Recorder, and recording requires each owner signature to be notarized.
Who needs it
Owners of Long Beach property with uncertified fill soil where Building and Safety requires a recorded disclosure covenant.
Why it needs a notary
The form states 'Notary acknowledgements for each signature must be attached to this document' as a condition of recording the disclosure.
