Should Molly Schaaf sell 812 La Farge Ave while Marianne Gibbs (or entity controlled 100% by her, such as a revocable trust) is still owner of 822 La Farge Ave, she will need to disclose this in the property disclosure when she lists the property. 2. The exterior staircase leading to the occupied "attic" space needs to be designed to offer privacy to the property located to the North. The current plan is to design the stairs with some form of an opaque privacy screen (keeping
