Dear Mr. Desch:
I represent Robert L. and C1ara M. Tho�as,- who are the -
owners of the above-described property. As indicated b� the
Earnest Money contract, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibi� A, ,my client�: purchased the property as� af. December. 4�.
I974.
Subsequently, in July, 1475, they received�aa =�nvoice, :=- � __ �
a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, i.ndicatinq that
an assessment had been levied against the property as o€ Suly
19, 1975. This levy was for boarding up of vacant buildings an :
th� prope:rty, which appa►ren�ly_ was done in March. and July of 1973.. s; _.- :.
My clients had received no previous notice that `an assessment was. *` "`°'
in fact pending. In fact, in checking with your department� I
was advised that the information: upon which the assessment was
based did not come to your department frrnn the Department of
Community Services until February, 1975.
In attempting ta explore the basis for the assessn�ent, I

tlze �t�°~�o��i�t�ta�r�scind �h��°'assessme�tt�:� The assessment was
levied with no notice to my clients, and with no possible oppor-
tunity for my clients to discover the existence of the pending
assessment. That is contrary to the basic tenents of real estate
law.
I would be happy to provide you with any additional informa-
tion on this that you might feel appropriate. I would also

request your prompt attention, inasmuch as interest is now
accruing on the assessment, and in the event the assessm�nt is
not rescinded, my client would have an additional obligatiaa.
