of Minnesota Statutes , Section 290.101, which disallows interest and depreciation
deduction for substandard buildings , funding neighborhood organizations, funding
advocacy for tenants and seeking to develop innovative methods to provide financing
and assistance to ov�m ers of multi-family properties; and

and made more costly by the inability of city staff and citizens to determine
without hours and sometimes months of effort who the responsible owner of a
buildina is; and

voluntary in nature; and
