Re: Council No. 226817
Condemnation of 107 Lyton Place
Gentlemen:
I will be out of town on February 8th; therefore, I am writing to you
instead.
My purpose in writing this letter, is perhaps, to save some future
property owner the expenses and loss of property that I have suffered.'
because of this condemnation which could have been avoided.
Your Bureau of Health carried on all its corre
this property with the Contract Purchaser, Mr.
not with me, the Fee Owner. Mr. Saunders does

spondence concerning
Harold Saunders, and

)ne took the trouble or
We were in the process of cancelling Mr. Saunders contract for deed
because he was about one year delinquent in his contract payments.
We finally did cancel his contract out in September of 1964. Mr.
Saunders, therefore, would have no reason to-notify me that he was on
notice to repair the property.
I even paid a Mr. R. F. Ferguson, the Justice of the Peace, to evict ;
the tenants on the lower floor of 107 Lyton Place so that I could
renovate the building.
c
The day the people moved out, the Bureau of Health posted the building
with placards stating,that this place was unfit for human habitation,
and that was my first notice-that you had inspected the building and
required that it be repaired. ,

and they wanted to make an
this matter.
I am enclosing a photostatic copy of a letter I received, dated
October 14th, which was two weeks after you had posted this
building and by that time, the building was half demolished by
children.
If I was aware that it was to be placarded, repairs would have
been underway and this vandalism would have never occurred, and
I could have avoided t he loss of approximately $8,000.00.
In addition to all of this, I was
nuisance by a Mr. Kelly, of your
cost me a considerable amount of
jailed and fined, although I was
arrested for maintaining a
city attorney's office, and it
time and money to avoid being
committed a few hours.
Again, I hope you will correct your procedure of notifying
owners of property that is to be repaired or condemned, so as
to avoid financial loss and mental anguish such as I have
suffered, by investing in St. Paul property.
If you wish, I will be more than happy to meet with you and discuss
this matter at greater length, at your convenience.
