CASE N0. PROPERTY APFELLANT
23- 79-H 448-450 Stryker Mildred R. Grunau
(three units)
SUBJECT:
Request that condemnation order of June 25 , 1979 , be rescYnded, and that
a reasonable extension of time be granted to make required repairs ,
because of severe fin an cial hardship ; also, request return of filing fee.
APFEARANCE : Mildred R. Grunau
" Bill Williams , Public Worlcs Sewer Design Division
Dennis Strand, Tenant
Greg Parranto, Rea1 Estate Manager
PROCEEDINGS: .
Alice Bijjani explained that Ms . Grunau had contended that �he city had
in 1927 connected the plumbing pipes which drained the adjacent property
to the sewer of her property, and that this was a direct cause of water
backing up into the basement . �The housing code office had therefore re-
quested that records of the city' s sewer installations in this case be
presented.
Bill Williams , of Public Works , produced records which showed that the
sewer lines of the properties in question had each been installed properly
by connecting each directly to the main sewer in the street. He said the
only way the records could be refuted would be to dig up the ground, and
it would be at the owner' s expense .
Dennis Strand, occup ant of one unit at 450 Stryker, said he felt the water
in the basement was caused by a heavy rainstorm, and that it had subsided.
He told the Board that he and the occupants of the other apartment at 450
Stryker had discussed the various problems in that half of the building,
and had arrived at an agreement on making the repairs requi�ed by the city.
Ms . Grunau had agreed to hire an electrician and a plumber to complete
that part of the work, while the tenants would be responsible for the
remaining items . Ms . Grunau had a reed to pay for the materials and the
tenants would pay monthly rent of �45 for each apartment , instead of the
full amount of $90 , until all work was completed.
Ms . Grunau stated that the property had been owned by her family since
the 1880' s . She said she had cared for the building for 50 years , but
two years ago had become ill and turned it over to Pa�ranto Bros . , a real
estate firm, to manage . She said the tenants at 448 Stryker, who occupied
both the first and second floors , were very destructive and had not paid
rent for several months . When the city posted the condemnation notice ,
they were to vacate by July 2 , but because of difficulty finding new
quarters the city had extended the date to July 15.
Chairman tiVozniak asked if an unlawful �detainer action had been taken.
Greg Parranto said he had been managing the building and had started such
action , but the sheriff' s office had not been able to serve the warran�.
The court date had come and gone meanwhile . When the city con demne d the
building, his firm felt a new action iaould not be necessary, since the
tenants were ardered to vacate anyw ay.
-6- 7/10/79 - Meeting No. I51
. � Chairman Wozniak asked how anyone could be sure the tenants at 448 would
be out by July 15.
Ms . Bijjani explained that the city could tag the occupants , but would nat
evict them. That was the owner' s responsibility. She brought up the
matter of the item concerning improper sink venting of all bathroom drains ,
emphasiz�ng that the sinks siphon and that this would have to be corrected.
Mr. Reiter asked what services Parranto Bros . were providing in managing
the property. It appeared to him that the building had reached an advanced
state of deterioration while under management.
Mr. Parranto said they collecte d the rents and trie d to take care of rep airs
as needed, but the tenants at 448 would not allow him to enter when he
asked to see that half of the b uilding.
In answer to questions conce rning the rental agreement between the tenants
and Ms . Grunau, Mr. Strand said the rent figure of $45 per month for each
unit at 450 Stryker would be in effect until a Certificate of Occupancy
was issued by the city.
Ms . Bijjani asked whether he mean until the certificate was issue d or
until the placard was lifted, as there was a difference. She said the
city could lift the placard from 450 and give Ms . Grunau additional time
to get the whole building certified, but the city would not certify the
build.ing with one unit condemned. 448 could� remain under placard, which
would requi.re the tenants to vacate , while 450 could still be occupied
and the placard lifted.
BOARD ACTION: -
Chairman Wozniak moved that the order to vacate , issued� by the city in
conjunction with condemnation proceedings , be extenc�ed to September 1 ,
1979 , for the tenants at 450 Stryker, provided all items designated as
violations of the life and health s�afety code in the city' s . letter of
6/25/79 are corrected by September 1 , 1979 , and a11 remaining violations
by December 1 , 1979 . Regarding the other half of the property, 448 Stryker,
the order to vacate shall remain at July 15 , 1979. Mr� Tiesa secanded.

Empire Building measured 6 , 215 sq. ft. Since the excess was very small ,
215 sq. ft. , he felt a waiver could reasonably �be given, e�pecial�y as
the owners had agreed to instel`aternconnectionmforefireehoseston�eachthe

Mr. Stocco said there were two -aua�beenc lacedtaccordinghto recommendations .
