What this form is
This Building and Safety Bureau covenant (AFF-006) is used to record an owner's agreement with the findings of a technical document, like a soils or geotechnical report, so the findings stay attached to the property for future owners. Because the covenant runs with the land, it must be recorded with the County Recorder, and every owner signature must be notarized.
Who needs it
Owners of Long Beach property where a technical report's findings must be recorded and acknowledged as a condition of a permit.
Why it needs a notary
The form states 'Notary acknowledgements for each signature must be attached to this document' before it can be recorded.
