Kristine Kujala, Ramsey County TaY Forfeited Lands, appeared and stated the property was forfeited to the 5tate of Minnesota for non payment of back taaces. Ms. Kujala represents Ramsey County as an agent to manage the property. She has been in contact with Toua C. Yang and Choua Yang who are prior owners to the property. Mr. Yang has entered into a re-purchase agreement with Ms. Kujala's office to buy back the property. The mortgage company is willing to pay the taxes once the loan is approved by ffie Ramsey County Board of Commissioners. Ms. Kujala's office cannot go to the Board of Commissioners until Mr. Yang understands that the bond has to be posted. Ms. Kujala has tried to tell this to Mr. Yang and the mortgage company, however it is unclear how much Mr. Yang understands. Mr. Yang thought he was only re- purchasing 507 St. Albans, but there aze two houses on this one lot. 507 St. Albans has been brought up to code. Mr. Yang was informed of the meeting today.

The City has had to issue six abatement notices on 503 St. Albans for cutting tall grass and to remove refuse. Ramsey County Tasation has placed an estimated muket value on the property at $29,700. The inspector feels the estimated cost to repair would be $45,000. Gerry Strathman stated there are 15 judgement creditors listed, some of which are from the State of Minnesota. Chuck Votel responded the ones against the State of Minnesota ate recorded as having a lien against the State and property owned by the State. Code Enforcement is duty bound to norify them. It will take work to cleaz the title on this property. Gerry Strathman recommended Mr. Yang be allowed six months to complete rehabilitation on condition that a$2,000 bond is posted, a code compliance inspection is completed, and the vacant building fee is paid by noon of September 9, 1998. If Mr. Yang does not do these things, Code Enforcement should proceed with the arder to remove or repair within 15 days. q � -l� P` MINUTES OF THE LEGISLA'I'NE HEt�RING OF 9-i-98 Summarv Abatement Anneai for 1615 St Anthonv Avenue.
