April 10, 2007 Legislative Hearing Minutes
Page 3
Laid over Summary Abatement: Referred back for a Legislative Hearing at the Apri14, 2007
City Council Public Hearing
J0702A Properry cleanups from January 16 to January 30, 2007
1778 Mar�aret Street (J0702A)
Mr. Magner stated orders were issued on January 19, 2007 to remove bags of garbage on the
ground, near the rear of the properry, with a compliance date of January 26. The property was
re-inspected on January 26 and the bags had not been removed. A work order was sent to the
Parks Department who removed the bags on January 30, 2007. Mr. Magner presented a video of
the bags of garbage that had been removed by Parks.
Tamer Azzazi, property owner, appeared and stated that this was rental property which he had
purchased in 1994 and he had lived there until 1999. Over the time he had owned the property,
he had made many improvements to the property. The current tenants had moved in November,
2006 and he had never had any problems with them. The tenants provided their own garbage
sezvice, however, the hauler would not remove any extra bags of garbage that were not in the
container. Because of this, they have since changed garbage haulers. He stated that at the time
the order was issued on the garbage, he was traveling for his job and had left on January 18 and
did not return until January 25. After he returned, he then had to go to Iowa for two days and did
not return until7anuary 27. When he checked the property, he believed it was on January 29, he
did not see any excess garbage bags at the property and had believed the garbage had been
removed by the hauler. He was unaware that the City had removed the gazbage until he received
the letter on the assessment. He asked whether the summary abatement order was also sent to
the occupant of the property, and if it had not, why had it not been mailed to the occupant.
Mr. Magner stated that the summary abatement order was sent only to the property owner and
not to the occupant. Under the City ordinance, the property owner is supposed to provide
garbage hauling service and it is not the responsibility of the tenant. Therefore, notice is not
required to be sent to the occupant of the property.
Ms. Moermond stated that it was clear that Mr. Azzazi had received proper notification. Aftex
reviewing all of the records, she recommended approving the total assessment in the amount of
$372.
