Appeai of Mitchell Berg to a Certificate af Occupancy Revocation, which inciudes Condemvation, for propem� at 1446 Minnehaha Avenue VJest. Appellant Mitchell Bezg appeared. Ms. Maermond staied that, based upon her reading of the file and information from �ity staff that Mr. Berg has contacted, it is her impression that Mr. Berg's primary concern is avai3ing the registered vacant Building Pragra�n. Mr. Berg stafed that his goal during the hearing was to have the condemnatioa and order to vacate lifted in order to avoid #he registered vacant building program. Ms. Moezmond clarified that the condemnation in this case is a public safety condemnation and not an eminent domaui condemnation. NIr. Essling stated that police were called to the property on August 26 on a report of a missing pezson. Police cal}ed an inspector who Paund unsanitary and hazardous canditions and condemned tha house with an irrunediate order to vacate. The inspector was not able to do a compiete inspecfion due to the hazardous conditions in the house. Mr. Berg and the inspector aze meeting at the property at 1:00 today (September 2) to complete the inspeCcion and review the violatians, Mr. Berg stated that he is a single father with ivro chiIdren, one of whom has been diagnosed with oppositional defiance disorder. The son with ODD has vandalized and desYroyed many azeas and items in the honse. Until recendy, Mr. $erg had a mortgage that made it financially impossible for him to keep up with maintenance on the house. The mortgage has been morlified and is now more manageab2e. Nir. Berg does not deny the findings of the inspection and stated that, with the help of neighbors, he has corrected alI of the primary violations with ihe exception of the broken windows attd kitchen ule. He stated that there were items in the attic that belonged to his ex-wife and that he guessed wonld eventually need to be cleaned up. He stated that his children were staying with their mother but that situation was "dicey;" k�e asked that he and his children be ailowed back into the house and that he be given more time to compfete the repair of the windows, kitchen floor and attic ctean-up. Ms. Moermond asked Mr. I3erg wheiher he had berls for the children. Mr. Berg stated that he had a mattress for his daughYer and was working on getting a frame. He said that his son wouId continue to stap with his ex-wife, but that he was looking for a mattress and frama £or him too. Ms. Moermond recommended conditiona� occupancy with staggered deadtines for completion of the remaining items. She reminded Mr. Berg that her decisions today might need to be madified based upon the outcome of Che 1:00 meeting with tke inspector. Ms. Moerxnond suggested Halloween as the deadline to complete afl items in the inspection inctuding ttze windows, door screens and porch floor. Mr. Berg stated that completion by Halloween would be financially difficult, especialiy the eves and soffits, and the porch floor, depending upon the e�tent of repairs required for the porch floor. He stated that the porch floor boazds were "springy" and that the edges were frayed. Ms. Moermond and Mr. Essling suggested that Mr. Berg discuss the porch floor repairs with the t����`�`� September 2, 2608 Legislative Heariag Minutes Page 8 inspector to determine the minimuzn zepair required. b8'Ib7S N�s. Moermond asked about Mr. Bergs future ftnanciai situation and his ability to complete repairs. Mr. Berg stafed that he would be getting a bonus from work and a tas refvnd. ?vls. Moertnond recommended an October 3I, 2Q08 deadIine far everything except the eves and saffits, and a 7uue I5, 2009 deadline far those two items. She reiterated that her recommendations were subject to change based on the oatcome of today's inspecfion. T'i�e hearing was adjourned at I2:00 p.m.
