8. As of today this $150.00 has not been paid.
9. On September 14, 2004, this depariment notified you again by mail of the need to arrange an
interior inspection of said rental property.
10. As of today this interior inspection has not been arranged.
I have referred this matter to the St. Paul City Council with a recommendation to revoke the rental registration
certificate. The City Council will revoke unless an appeal is filed in the next thirteen (13} days from the date of
this notice. An appeal may be filed pursuant to legislative Code § 18.02, by appearing in person between the
hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 pm. on any business day at the City Cierk's O�ce, Room 170, City Hall, 15 W.
Kellogg Boulevazd, St. Paul, MN or you may appeal by mail within the same 13 day time line.
Once the City Council has revoked the rental registration certificate, occupancy of the property is not allowed
until (1) an inspection by Neighborhood Housing and Properry Improvement (NHPI) has been conducted, (2)
the Director of NHPI has determined the property to be in compliance, and (3) the certificate is renewed. Note:
Renting a property without a certificate is a misdemeanor.
Please call me as soon as possibie to arrange a meeting to discuss how to correct this situation before the City
Council acts to revoke this certificate. If ail issues are addressed, I wiil recommend that the revocation be
withdrawn from consideration by the City Council.
