1°�� �;his time, a11 inspectors are under �;he city's supervision. The t,yping
oi all deiiciences are done n the Buildi�; Department.
:-y. Z�dozniak a.sked if s�rainh maintenance items coutd be distznquisci�d :E'rom
code viola��ons in an insnec ion report. Saan Blue said that the inspectors
�.-re only calling code iteins. In some instances, inspectors �re attachin� a
s?cond sheet listin� non-cod maintenance ite�s vrhich are used as sug�;esi,ions
�,o ra, rehab advisor, At t�is �ime, exterior �aint is not a code item.
Noi,l.in�; r�revents a person fr m buying a home on contract for deed which is
condemr.ed.
riJD �.as told the Bui�.ding De a.rtment that code eniorcement must ti�hten up.
I�o;�r close does the City Coun il want the department to call code items?
A-t the presen-� -L-ime, they ar callin� ther� loose. Blue feels direction to
Cit�j Council should co:ne fror. the Board of r�peals, since the Board has
seen the proolems which peop e are iaced wit'r� z,rhen certain code violations
mus� be remedied. He su�gested that housing in St. Paul is much bet�er than
��i�st housin� in tne e�.st and, therefore, should not be subject to strict
eni'orcement. HUD #'eels tha.t ities should �ear up code enforcement by
