I inadvertently left out a part of Marcia Moermond's decision regarding 376 Fuller Avenue on item 15.
The first sentence is correct.
This second sentence needs to be added: "The building will otherwise be maintained in compliance with
all applicable codes a�d ordinances."

NOTES OF THE LEGISLATIVE HEARING
FOR LETTERS OF DEFICIENCY, CORRECTION ORDERS,
CORRECTION NOTICES, AND SIJMMARY ABATEMENT ORDERS
Tuesday, January 14, 2003
Room 330 City Hall
Marcia Moermond, Legislative Hearing Officer
The meeting was cailed to order at 1:33 p.m.
STAFF PRESENT: Machael Urmann, Fire Prevention
376 Fuller Avenue
Mazcia Moermond reported that there is a letter of deficiency from Fire Prevention, which relates
to a number of things, including the occupancy of the sleeping rooms.
Shoua Xiong, owner, appeazed.
Michael Urmann reported the oniy issue being appealed is the overcrowding of the units. He and
the field inspector were on site. They agree with the number given to Ms. Moermond by the
building owner regarding the number of people in each unit. A11 the units are overcrowded.
The Fire Marshall has agreed that he will accept the overcrowding at this time and with only
these tenants. When the apartments are re-occupied, the units will have to have the correct
number of tenants.
Ms. Moermond asked are any of the tenants looking for new housing right now. Mr. Xiong
responded one family is planning to move upstairs to the two bedroom apartment, and they have
three children with the oldest being five years old. They have applied for public housing because
they just had another child about three months ago. They have waited for about a year already.
In Apartment #4, the tenants are his niece and her husband. They have no place to go. They told
him they have been looking for a different apartment. His niece is working part-time, and the
husband does not work. Their rent comes from Ramsey County directly to him. They have not
applied for public housing.
Ms. Moermond asked is it her understanding that the Fire Marshall is alright with this present
occupancy, but it is a borderline situation with too many occupants per bedroom, and the Fire
Marshall does not want to see this continue indefinitely. Mr. Urmann responded conect.
Ms. Moermond stated the family that is moving to the two bedroom unit will alleviate some of
the pressure. The present occupancy can continue unless there are more inembers to the family
that would exacerbate the situation any fiirther. For the cutrent people there and anyone that is
pregnant, the situation is okay for two years, but no additional people shouid come in. If there
aze more people that will be coming in, Mr. Xiong should talk to the Fire MarshalL The present
situation is borderline safe.

MINUTES OF T"fiE LEGISLATIVE HEARIlVG OF Jt1NiJARY 1�F, 2003 Page 2
Ms. Xiong stated his nephew's family only had one child when they came in. The family in
Aparhnent 1 came with two children and now they have three. His niece's family came in with
three children already. He cannot refuse them because they are his relatives. Ms. Moermond
responded they are okay being there for two more years, but there should not be more people
coming in. When the families leave, Mr. Xiong should replace them with the conect number of
people.
Mr. Urmann stated there is only one small item: the building shouid otherwise be maintained in
code compliance. If there are any code changes to the build'ang and it becomes unsafe, the appeal
wili no longer be enforced.
Ms. Moermond asked has there been a problem with this building. Mr. Urmann responded not
that he is aware of, and that is why he is �villing to temporarily allow the present occupancy_
Ms. Moermond explained to the owner that he has a good history which is why they are willing
to bend the rules far him.
Ms. Moermond's decision is as follows: The number of occupants in all units will be brought
under compliance by January 1, 2005. The building will otherwise be maintained in compliance
with all applicable codes and ordinances.
1953 Wilson Avenue
Marcia Moermond stated Patricia A. E. Whitney, on behalf of the owner Frank Steinhauser, has
withdrawn the appeal.
(withdrawn)
