Harold Robinson reported a Conection Order was mailed on February 25 following a Summary
Abatement on February 16 mailed to the owner at 820 Fifth Street East. No mail was returned. When
the Summary Abatement was issued, an excessive consumption bill was also issued because there was

LEGISLATIVE HEARING MI1�Ti3TES OF SEPTEMBER 28, 2004 Page 2
Ms. Moermond asked did she pay the property taYes. Ms. Henderson responded she moved there in
November of last year. She did not receive anything she has to pay.
Ms. Moersnond recommends deleting the assessment because the o�,ver did not receive notice. The
owner should go over to Ramsey County Properiy T� Office in 50 Kellogg Boulevard West to
homestead the properiy.
225 Baker Street East (J0403E)
Hazold Robinson reported that September 24, 2003, orders were mailed to the owner for windows to
comply by October 1, 2003. There were rechecks on October 6, 2003, November 17, December 16,
February 4, 2004, April 15, and May 17. Two Excessive consumption bills were issued for $50 and
$75.
Ms. Moermond explained that a year ago, the City w�rote orders on the windows and screens. Eights
months later, they had not been repaired yet.
Cher Lor Xiong, owner, 727 Edmund Avenue appeated and said he got a letter in December. He went
through a divorce last year and this year. In December 2Q03, he called once and did not get a return
cali. He called again on January 26, 2004 to ask for additional time so he could fix it when he knows
for sure the house is his. He did not get a response. He got a citation and the court gave him until May
i and July 1 for the painting and the windows. Between that time, the inspector came in on April 15 to
inspect the property again and came back on May 17. That was betu•een the times the court gave him.
Hazold Robinson reported he has no record of what the court did with the citation.
Ms. Moermond asked did he have anything from the court. The owner responded yes.
(Mr. Xiong supplied some paperwork.)
Ms. Moermond will recommend deleting the assessments. The inspections occurring on October 6
through November 17, and December 16 occutred before the change of the excessive consumption
ordinance. The inspections that occurred February 4 would be considered the ones after the excessive
consumption ordinances. The April I S and May 17 would have been in the interim when he was being
allowed to complete the work by the court system.
ll51 Beech Street (J0403E)
Xaichou Blia Xiong, owner, 727 Edmund Avenue, appeazed and stated he just bought a townhouse on
Februaz�y 26.
Ms. Moermond asked how long the County is taking to process property transactions. Mr. Robinson
responded he had a commercial transfer in the last four months that Fvas done almost immediately;
some residential transactions are taking about three months. It varies.
�� `��
LEGISLATIVE HEARING NfINiJTES OF SEPTEMBER 28, 2004 Page 3
Ms. Moermond asked where the January 21 notice was sent. Mr. Robinson responded Herman Capital
Cotporation, 7415 Wayzata Boulevazd and the Her at 1151 Beech. That is prior to Ianuary 21. The
compliance date on that is May 20, 2003. It is incumbent on the seller to let a buyer know about
outstanding notices on the property. Pvlr. Xiong responded they did not let him know.
Ms. Moermond recommends deleting the assessment. The owner should have received notice. The
previous owner is at fault here for not notifying the new owner.
955 Geranium Avenue East (J0405A)
(No one appeazed.)
Ms. Moermond recommends approval.
1175 Ross Avenue (J0405A)
(Note: another assessment was deleted on 9-14-04).
(No one appeared.)
Ms. Moermond recommends reducing the assessment from a total of 5333 to a total of $166.50.
Resolution ordering the owner to remove or repair the properiy at 1046 Jessie Street. If the
owner fails to comply with the resolution, Neighborhood Housing and Property Improvement is
ordered to remove the building.
(Laid over from 9-14-04)
Mazcia Moermond stated a notice should be sent to the new owner to appear at the legislative hearing
on October 12, 2004. The address is on the purchase agreement. The a�eement indicates the new
owner will pay the ta�ces. The following needs to be done: $2,000 bond needs to be posted, work plan
needs to be put together that addresses the items on the Code compliance Inspection, and the tanes
paid. Mr. Magner added the new owner will not be closing until November 2.
Resolution ordering the owner to remove or repair the property at 640 Minnehaha Avenue West.
If the owner fails to comply with the resolution, Neighborhood Housing and Property
Improvement is ordered to remove the building.
(Laid over from 9-14-04)
(IQo one appeared.)
Because the City had the $2,000 performance bond and the vacant building fees paid, said Steve
Magner, it was his understanding that it was going straight to 180 days recommendation. Ms.
Moermond stated there still was not a work plan from the owners. Ms. Moermond is just looking for a
work plan that could be sent to Mr. Magner or Ms. Moermond.
(Recommendation is forthcoming.)

LEGISLATIVE HEARING MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 28, 2004 Page 4
J0404C Demolition of vacant building (garage) at 1854 Benson Avenue during July 2004.
Marcia Moermond stated it is unusual to see a swiuuary abatement for $8,857 because the cap is
usually $3,000.
Steve Magner explained: the abatement on the gazage was appealed at a previous legislative hearing
and the appeal was demed. The demolition of the garage was in the S3,000 threshold. The City is
required to do an inspection survey. When the City went out to do the suney, the contractor noticed
boiler block, a brick type insulation, put in the attic about 50 yeazs ago. It is unusual to have asbestos
on the gazage. The area was yellowtagged and an emergency summary abatement was issued. There is
another bill for $2,530 for demolition of the garage. The gazage asbestos abatement is $8,857.84.
Janet Pelzel, owner, appeared and stated her estirnate was $3,000 to 54,000.
Ms. Moermond stated this assessment can be spread over five years. She �4�ouid like to see a ten or
fifteen yeaz assessment through Real Estate. She would also like to see this decreased. The asbestos is
a public health hazard. She requested copies of the relevant documents, bills, etc. on this assessment.
She encouraged the owner to talk to legal aide about the insurance company paying this. This is an
extreme situation. Ms. Pelzel responded she talked to her insurance company about lowering her rates,
but her payments are the same.

LEGISLATIVE HEARING NIITIIJTES OF SEPTEMBER 28, 2004 Page 7
towing, he still owes storage chazges and other services. Plates were in the window, which is not

the property with a vacate date at the end of the month. There were four residents and five bedrooms.
At the time, it was not overoccupied but it was unsafe. He was told there were more than four
unrelated adults. Right now, there is construction, the center wall is gone, and it is a single family
occupancy.
Ms. Moermond asked have they done a reinspection. Mr. Urmann responded he gave them until the
end of the month to comply.

LEGISLATTVE HEARING MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 28, 2004 Page 8
Ms. Moermond asked about the gas can. Mr. Crowley expiained that one of the tenants left the gas can
on the front desk when mowing. One person is moving out tonight. He has done a lot to improve the
property. The combustible materials were in unoccupied areas_ The downstairs unit--the inspectors
did not get in there--is in nice shape. This duplex was set up as a side by side. The former owners had
cut a hole through the main wa11 in the center. Mr. Crowley was sheetrocking that wall; he had his
toois there because he had been working on it. The tenants' rooms aze nice and fixed up.
Ms. Moertnond asked aze there tenants in both units. Mr. Crowley responded eventually it will be a
side by side duplex. Right now, he is using the doorway on the top floor. The upstairs is one unit, but
he is replacing that door and it will be a side by side. He is asking for them to not condemn the house,
but to give him time to make the repairs. He has a contract �vith the electrician to do the work. He has
not found a plumber yet. Mr. Clossing responded the bathroom did not have vents and the toilet was
hooked up improperly; some of the fittings were in backwards. Mr. Crowley responded the toilet
works.
Ms. Moermond asked how much time he needs. Mr. Crowley responded sixty days to do the repairs.
He has done a lot to clean the house. The condemned signs looks bad.
Mr. Urmann stated the first floor main level is occupied for use. There are construction materials in the
exit pathway for their second exit on the second floor. The living room area and entertainment was
occupied and it was unsafe. The building should remain condemned. Fire Prevention is willing to
remove the sign once it is vacated. To reoccupy the building will require a Code Compliance
Inspection done by LIEP to make snre the open walls, construction, and plumbing are done correctly.
The construction should be done by permit.
Ms. Moermond stated it sounds like one tenant is left and will be leaving tonight. Then, the owner can
take the placards off his building. The appeal is going to be denied and will need to be ttuough a Code
Compliance Inspection to be reoccupied. He will be working with Jim Seeger from License,
Inspection, Environmental Protection (LIEP). Also, if the building is vacant, he may become part of
the Vacant Building Program. That program also asks for him to do a Code Compliance Inspection for
it to be reoccupied. After the inspection, he will get a list of items that need to be corrected. Before the
signs are removed, added Mr. Urmann, he would like an inspector to verify the occupancy is vacant.
Ms. Moermond stated it seems an inspector can come out tomorrow to verify the occupants are out.
Mr. Crowley yes.
Ms. Moermond denied the appeal.
01T�R BUSINESS
