PASADENA - Exactly two years after the Church of Scientology bought the historic Braley Building in Old Pasadena - and went into high gear to get all 22 small-business tenants out - not a single plan for the promised fast-track conversion has been submitted to the city.

The deterioration in the historic 1906 building’s appearance - and the inability of city staff to contact the owners about it - has been a source of “frustration,” said Eric Duyshart, Pasadena’s director of development.

“We’ve been very disappointed that the building has been a vacant eyesore in Old Pasadena,” he said. “We have sent code-enforcement to evaluate violations there on the site … over the past two or three months.”
