He noted that a code compliance inspection had been conducted on November 4, 2004. Permits had been issued in 2004 and 2005 by Blue Heron which were never finaled as they had expired due to no activity within a year. The vacant building fees for 2005, 2006, 2007 had never been paid and they were now assessing the vacant building fee for 2008 in the amount of $1,000. John Troyer, property owner, stated that he had purchased the property from Blue Heron approximately two years ago and moved into the house. At that rime, he had noticed the vacant building placard on the house; however, he did not lrnow what it was and had removed it. He contended that this was not a vacant building. Ms. Moermond asked whether Blue Heron had disclosed the code compliance inspection report and informed him that this was a vacant building at the time he signed the purchase agreement. Mr. Troyer responded that he had only received the code compliance inspection report a few weeks ago from the inspector and that all of the work was almost completed. He played a voicemail message he had received from 12ich Singerhouse, Vacant Buildings, indicating that no one could legally occupy the property until a certificate of code compliance was issued. Ms. Moerxnond stated that it was incumbent upon Blue Heron, the seller, to disclose the vacant building status and provide a copy of the code compliance inspection report to any potential buyer. She recommended continuing this matter to the October 7 Legislarive Hearing to obtain a staff report. October 7, 2008 Legislative Hearing Minutes G� �a�� Page 4 2. Laid over Summary Abatement Assessments: VB0801 Collection of delinquent Vacant Building fees re-invoiced in July, 2008 1276 Reanev Avenue (VB08Q1) Laid over from 9l30l08. See September 30 minutes. Ms. Moermond's recommendation is pending per the recommendation of Mr. Seeger after his inspection and sign off. On October 31, 2008, John Troyer, property owner, called indicating that he had talked to Jim Seeger and requested that he come out to inspect the building. Mr. Seeger told him that there were permits that had been closed due to inactivity that would need to be signed off before he could inspect the building for a code compliance certificate. At the November 4, 2008 Legslative Hearing, this matter was discussed. Mr. Magner said that his office had contacted the property owner nuxnerous times indicating that he needed to have a code compliance certificate before he could legally occupy the building. Mr. Troyer had ignored those requests and had failed to obtain a code compliance certificate or pay any of the vacant building fees. Since the property owner had failed to comply, he recommended approving the assessment for the vacant building fee in the amount of $1,070. Ms. Moermond recommended approving the assessment.
