The hearing was called to order at 10:Q2 a.m.
STAFF PRESENT: Steve Magner, Neighborhood Housing and Properiy Improvement (NHPn
Laid over Summary Abatements from 3-i-OS (scheduled to go to City Councii on March 16):
996 Chazles Avenue (J0406A)
Mike Lyon, owner, 4181 99'�' Avenue NE, Blaine, appeared and asked if the dollaz figure could be
reduced. He is guilty: he travels and the lawn got too tall. He has since hired a neighborhood boy
to do the lawn. Ms. Moermond responded that this is not a fine; it is a charge for service. There is
no crixninal charge associated with any of Uus. It is simply that the City mowed the lawn for him
and chazged a flat hourly rate. Most of it is a trip charge.
Steve Magner reported this was a suuimary abatement for tall grass and weeds in the front and
back yards. There was a Correction Norice issued at the same time for a garage. There was a
longer time to comply on the gazage; and it was in compliance at the last inspection. Mr. Lyon
responded that he put siding on the garage.
Prior to that, said Mr. Magner, there was a summary abatement issued to another person in 2003.
Mr. Lyon responded he didn't own it then.
Ms. Moermond stated she would like to ask if the owner would promise not to do this again. Mr.
Lyon responded yes and said that he is takiug Ms. Moermond's tixne for somethiug that should not
haue happened.
Ms. Moermond recommends reducing the assessment by half from a total of $220 to a total of
$110. It did cost the City that much money to do a cleanup. She will look to the owner to take
caze of this property from now on.
793 Howell Street North (J0406A)
(Note: Ms. Moermond received a letter dated Febniary 27, 2005, from Frances Olson, owner.)
Marcia Moermond explained that the owner appears to be disabled and homebound. Her fmances
aze a problem. A follow up phone call was made to see if she wouid be interested in qualifying for
a deferment or dividing payxnents over time. (Note: no one answered the owner's phone and
there was no machine for taking messages.) Ms. Moermond would like to review the file on this
property.
Steve Magner reported his office received a complaint on July 12, 2004; there was illegal dumping
in the alley of 16 foot garage doors and lazge garbage bags. The complainant thought the garage
�� ��
�'�e� (9 �
LEGISLATIVE IIEARING IvIINUTES OR MARCH 8, 2005 Page 2
doors were from down the alley. The inspector found a biue Plymouth open to enhy plus brush
and scrap wood on the west end of the properiy. A Suuunary Abatement was issued and sent to
Frances Olson. There is no informarion that mail was returned. A Vehicle Abatement was issued
on the blue Plymouth, lacking tabs, and open to entry. On July 20, the property owner called and
asked for an estension on the caz and said the brush was cleaned up. On August 27, the brush and
wood were still there. There was no answer when calling the owner. There was an extension on
the caz and a work order was sent on the brush and wood.
(A videotape was shown.)
Ms. Moermond stated it did not look like dumped items. She asked was a vehicle abatement done
on the Plymouth. Mr. Magner responded the caz was gone on September 15. The inspector
cleazly indicated on the order to remove brush and scrap wood from the west side of the yazd.
Ms. Moermond recommends reducing the assessment by half from a total of $323 to as total of
$161.50. It was a small brush pile and a small amount of lumber.
Resolution ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 800 I�lehart Avenue.
If the owner fails to comply with the order, Neighborhood Housing and Property
Improvement is ordered to remove the building(s).
The following appeared: Lawrence P. Zielke, Attorney with Shapiro and Nordmeyer, 7300 Metro
Boulevard #390, Edina, SS439; Lori Athias, 4521 Orchazd Avenue North, Robbinsdale, 55422;
and Dauid Youmans.
(Photographs were submitted.)
Steve Magner reported this is a one story dwelling. The buiiding has been vacant since Apri19,
2004. The current owner is CDC Investment Group per Ramsey County ProperCy Records and
Revenue. There have been six suuunary abatement notices issued for several violations. On
January 5, 2005, an inspection of the building was conducted, a list of deficiencies which
constitute a nuisance condition was developed, and photographs were taken. An Order to Abate a
I�iuisance Building was issued with a compliance date of Febxuary 2, 2005. As of this date, this
property remains in a condition which comprises a nuisance as defined by the legislative code.
The City has had to boazd this building to secure it against trespass. The vacant building
registration fees are due. Taacation has placed an estimated mazket value of $34,700 on the land
and $112,300 on the building. On February 14, a Code Compliance Inspecrion was done and is
attached. A bond has nat been posted. The cost to repair is $70,000 to $80,000; cost to demolish,
$7,000 to $8,000.
Mazcia Moermond stated it looks like a condemnation. She asked was there a fire. Mr. Magner
responded there was an ea�tensive fire that resulted in the opening of a vacant building file.

LEGISLATIVE HEARING MINLTTES OF MARCH 8, 2005 Page 3
Ms. Moermond asked about the siumuary abatement notices. Mr. Maguer responded most of
them were issued between Apri12004 and January 2005. A number of those resulted m work
orders being issued.
Mr. Zielke reported that he is the attomey for the foreclosure that took place on July 9, 2004. The
six month redemption has expired. The only nofice he got was a letter dated February 11, 2005.
Mr. Zielke contacted his client via e-mail on February 21 with a letter saying attached is a copy of
a notice of public hearing. His client is J.P. Morgan Chase Bank. Homecomings is the servicer of
this loan and JP Morgan Chase Bank is the entity that owned the mortgage that was fareclosed.
Mr. Zielke is the attorney for both. He never got a response as to whether they wanted him here
this morning, but Mr. Zielke was coming this morning on 763 Fuller anyway. There is a purchase
agreement. JP Morgan Chase Bank is trying to sell it to Lori Athias. The foreclosure is done. It's
a good thing that someone is heze to rehab the property and meet the code compliance issues. Mr.
Zielke was contacted by one other investor during this redemption period; therefore, there must be
some redeeming quality to this properry.
Ms. Moermond asked can he identify some of the players in her paperwork. Mr. Magner stated
CDC Investment Group comes up for Ramsey County and he is mailing to them. Minnesota
Medical Assistance Program was recorded as a lien holder on August 7, 2003. Mr. Zielke stated
theq foreclosed on Rebecca Williams.
Lori Afluas stated she has a purchase agreement. The mortgage company hired real estate agents
to sell the property once the foreclosure process was completed. That was done. It was put on the
mazket. David Youmans contacted the real estate agent. The inspection was done. They put
together the rehab plan. They are purchasing the properiy from the mortgage company and
working through their real estate agent.
Ms. Moermond stated the homesteader could apply for an abatement for the property taaces. Mr.
Magner responded that the taaces for 2003 and 2004 haue been paid. CDC is listed because there
was a court claim filed on August 22, 2004, for Massie Ballazd, power of attorney for 12ebecca
Williams. Mr. Ziellce stated they were foreclosed out and have no interest in the property at this
point.
Ms. Moermond stated the main problem are the significant items on the Code Compliance
Inspection. This is not the Yypicai rehabilitation project. David Youxnans responded it looks
scarier on paper. He has been through the house a coupYe of times. They have done a lot of
rehabs and a lot of new construction. This is just one of the many he has done.
(Ms. Athias submitted before and after photographs of a fire-damaged house in Minneapolis.)
Ms. Moermond stated they are scheduled to close on March 28, so the April 6 public hearing
would be after that, and all this should be in good shape at that point. She would like to look
through these materials. She might ask for more details. The fire damage looks profound to this
building, so she xnight apply more scrutiny because of that. She would like to be comfortable in
answering questions if the Council wonders how this can be done.

o� �o�
��2��`
Ms. Athias staxed she would atso like to send other photographs of fire damaged homes that they
have rehabilitated. There aze about three other ones that are far worse than this one.
Ms. Moermond stated there is no bond posted yet, the vacant building fees aze due. She would be
looking for that to be taken caze of by noon of April 6_ The $2,000 bond will be sufficient. She
asked about the financial information. Ms. Athias responded she bas a pre-approval letter. She
can send fitrfher information about that with the photographs.
Ms. Moermond stated it looks like thiugs are in order. There will not be another legislative
hearing on this. She will recommend the Council give 180 days to do the rehabilitarion.
Ms. Moermond recommends the following: granting the owner 180 days to complete the
rehabilitation of the property on condition thai the following is done by noon of Apri16, 2005:
1) post the $2,000 bond, 2) pay the vacant building fees, 3) submit a work plan indicating how and
whett the properiy will be rehabilitated, and 4} submit evidence of fmancial capacity to execute the
rehabilitation.
� Resolution ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 763 Fuller Avenue. If
the owner fails to comply with the order, Neighborhood Housing and Property
Improvement is ordered to remove the building(s).
I,awtence P. Zielke, Attorney with Shapiro and Nordmeyer, 7300 Metro Boulevazd #390, Edina,
55439, appeazed.
(Photographs were submitted.)
Steve Magner reported that this is a two story dwelling with a detached two sta11 garage. It has
been vacant since July 7, 2004. The current owner is Deusche Bank Trust Company, per Ramsey
County Properry Records and Revenue through foreclosure. The previous owner attempted to
rehabilitate this property prior to losing it. The Code Compliance Inspection is attached. There
have been ten summary abatement notices issued for several code violations. T1ris address was
picked up during a sweep of the azea. A file has never been closed. On January 12, 2005, an
inspectian of the building was conducted, a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance
condifion was developed, and photographs were taken. An order to abate nuisance building was
issued on January 24, 2005, with a compliance date of February 8. This property remains in a
condition which comprises a nuisance as defined by the legisiative code. The City has had to
board this building to secure it against trespass. The vacant building registraflon fees of $250 are
due. Tasation has placed and estimated market value of $36,200 on the land and $115,800 on the
building. On 3anuary 10, 2005, a Code Compliance Inspection was done and is attached. A bond
has not been posted. Code Enforcement Officers estimate the cost to repair this structure is
$80,000; estimated cost to demolish, $8,000 to $9,000. This property is in foreclosure. Mr.
Magner was contacted by a real estate agent who is trying to market the building.
Mr. Ziellce stated he was contacted this morning by Mr. Clark of Brighton Real Estate for
purposes of representing their interests at this hearing. Brighton has assumed servicing
� � ���
LEGISLATIVE HEARING MINUTES OF MARCH 8, 2005 Page 5
responsibilities for this foreclosed mortgage from Homecomings. Mr. Zielke attempted to contact
Homecomings asking for instructions. It was not untii this moming that he found out that
Homecomings had transferred servicing on ttus, which esplains why he didn't heat from them. As
faz as foreclosure goes, a foreclosure sale was held on December 3, 2004, subject to a six month
redemprion. Unfornmately, they did not receive instrucrions from Homecomings to a shortened
redemption proceedings. The property is now three months into the redemprion. They are
reaching the point where it is almost moot. Mr. Okanla is still the owner of the properry subject to
his redemption rights. The properiy has been vacant for some time. The Febraary 11 letter was
the first notice Mr. Zieike got regazding some of the issues invoived with the properry. What she
would like to do is buy some time so the new service company can get somebody out to the
property. If Mr. Zielke could get copies of some of the abatement orders and the Code
Compliance Report, he can get that to his client. Somebody needs to take care of the property, and
he will advise the new client to do so. If there is not a health or safety issue, maybe it could be
tabled to the next hearing. Then, they can start securing and cieaning up the property. They aze
not the owner of the property until the redemption expires. In all, it has been foreclosed, they are
lialfway through the redemption, and there is a new servicer that may be mare in touch than
Homecomings as far as their inspections and property maintenance.
Ms. Moermond asked did Mr. Okanla live here. Mr. Magner responded that Mr. Okanla and his
sister have owned a number of properties in Saint Paul. They are investors that purchase a
properiy and then sell it back and forth between each other, each time refmancing the properiy for
higher amounts. For example, 1080 Park is one of them.
Ms. Moermond asked how Mr. Okanla is listed as a homesteader if he is an investor. Mr. Magner
responded that is a quesrion for Ramsey County because it is their documentation. They ate
giving someone a break on their taxes provided the properry is homesteaded.
Ms. Moermond asked is Oluyemisi the sister or brother. Mr. Magner responded that is the sister
for Bobatunde. He believes that Ms. Okanla is a resident of Florida. Her mailing address is 2750
18`�' Avenue South, Minneapolis and NHPI does not get materials back.
He has had three parties in the last two weeks inquiring about this property. All these parties have
been individuals who rehabilitate properties in the City. Mr. Magner has directed them to 7im
Angle, Rea1t}� House, 5120 Edina Industrial Boulevazd, Minneapolis, who requested to be put on
the mailing record for this property. Mr. Zielke responded that he lrnows Mr. Angle and deals
with him on a lot of properties. He cannot speed up the redemption period. He can impress on his
client to watch the property and make sure it gets cleaned up if there is junk in the yazd.
Mr. Magner stated his office would be looking for a mortgage company that will take possession
of the properiy through foreclosure; redempdon period is up Tune 3. It would show good faith on
their part to expedite this for a five week redemprion period. They could start the process by next
week provided the City were to lay over this matter. If they were to go to a five week redemption
and put it at eight weeks, they would be 30 days out from the established Council date versus 60
days. Ms. Moermond asked his experience with the certificate holder maintaining property. Mr.
Magner responded an REO specialist comes in, secures the property, winterizes it, and does active
����
LEGISLATIVE F�ARING MINUTES OF MARCH 8, 2005 Page 6
management. Most of these mortgages aze written and most policies state they can come in and
stop any further loss to the asset. They can winterize the properry.
Ms. Moermond asked about work orders. Mr. Magner responded that every summary abatement
has gone to a work order.
Mr. Zielke stated that having Mr. Angle on boazd gives another set of eyes because he wili look at
the property as well: Aiso, if there is that much investor interest, it is a possibility they will
purchase a sheriff's certificate. Mortgage companies aze not equipped to rehabilitate properties,
but they can inspect properties and they are equipped to do routine maintenance. The suggestion of
five weeks is good. He could go to his client and say that is a condition for getting a break.
Mr. Magner stated it would be beneficial for the mortgage company to do a shorter redemption
period because that would give them a clear tifle to anyone else who comes in. He finds it
unlikely that Mr. Okaula would be able to redeem it out because he does not have a good track
record with property ownership and maintenance in the City. He has created a lot of work for
NHPI. Mr. Zielke responded the owner would have to come up with over $100,000 to redeem this
property. It seems that is unlikely.
Mr. Magner added that it is important that the mortgage company do the redempfion period and
register the vacant building. Mr. Zielke responded that should not be a problem.
Ms. Moermond stated the owner would have to make it through the April 6 City Council Meeting.
For a two week layover, she will be looking for the vacant building fees to be paid and for the
properiy to be maintained. She would be looking for something indicaring they will take
responsibility for trris property. Her deadline wouid be noon Apri16 and no further violafions
between now and then. If that can be done—vacant building fee paid, a letter saying someone will
be taking responsibility to manage the property, it is maintained in an otherwise code compiiant
fashion—she will give two weeks. If he gets the two weeks, in the subsequent two weeks she wiil
be looking for the $2,000 bond to be posted, a purchase agreement, and a financial plan on how
the house will be rehabbed. This is all predicated on him seeking a shortened redemption time
period. If they go back to hearing, it would be Apri119.
Mr. Zielke responded everything sounds reasonable except for the purchase agreement and
financial plan. Ms. Moermond responded a purchase agreement could be concluded. Mr Zeillce
responded subject to the redemption rights, he supposes.
Ms. Moermond recommends laying over to the April 19 Legislafive Aearing on condition that the
following is done by noon of Apri16: 1) vacant building fees paid, 2) no fiuther properry
TT18. intenance violations between March 9 and Apri16, and 3} a letter indicating someone will be
taldug maintenance responsibility for the property.
The hearing was adjourned at 11:13 a.m.

The legal description of this property is:
Lot 16, Block 3, Butte�eld Syndicate Addition �10. i.
65- 300
Neighborhood Housin� & Property Improvement has declared this buildin�(s) to constitute a
"nuisance" as defined by Le�islative Code, Chapter 45. Neighborhood Housing & Property
Improvement has issued an order to the then known responsible parties to eliminate this nuisance
condition by correcting the deficiencies or by razing and removing this building(s).
Inasmuch as this Order to Abate has not been complied with the nuisance condition remains
unabated, the community continues to suffer the blighting influence of this property. It is the
recommendation of the Neighborhood Housing & Property Improvement that the City Council
pass a resolution ordering the responsible parties to either repair, or demolish and remove this
building in a timely manner, and failing that, authorize the Neighborhood Housing & Property
Improvement to proceed to demolition and removai, and to assess the costs incurred against the
real estate as a special assessment to be collected in the same manner as t�es.
Sincerely,
CJ � �i //�
