I am writing to you in your capacity as the holder of a rental registration certificate for 356 COMO AVE , St.
Paul MN.
You aze hereby notified, pursuant to the authority granted to me under Chapter 51 of the St. Paul Legislative
Code, of the City's intent to revoke the registration certificate for 356 COMO AVE based on the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
On September 28, 2005, this department conducted an inspection of said property and issued a
Correction Notice with a compliance deadline of October 3, 2005.
On October 3, 2005, this department conducted a reinspection of said property and found lack of
compliance with the previous order.
On October 4, 2005, this department sent you a$50.00 bill for the cost ofsaid reinspection.
As of today this $50.00 has not been paid.
On October 4, 2005, this department notified you by mail of the need to arrange an interior
inspection of said rental property.
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 appeai may be filed pursuant to legislative Code § 18.02, by appearing in person between the
hours of 8:00 am and 430 p.m on any business day at the City Clerk's Office, Room 110, City Hall, 15 W.

Once the City Council has revoked the rental registration certificate, occupancy ofthe property is not allowed
until (1) an inspection by Neighborhood Housing and Property Improvement (1VHPI) has been conducted, (2) tne
Director ofNHPI 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 possble to arrange a meeting to discuss how to correct this situation before the City
Council acts to revoke this certificate. If all issues are addressed, I will recommend that the revocation be
withdrawn from consideration by the City CouncIl.
