5. Appeal of Nancy Lazaryan, on behaif of Evelyn Wallace, to a Su.mmary Abatement Order
for property at 1033 Colne Street.
Nancy Lazaryan appeared on behalf of her mother, Evelyn Wallace, the properiy owner.
Mr. Singerhouse stated that he did a night inspecrion of the property on June 3 and wrote a
Summary Abatement Order to remove a dumpster and the contents removed, cut tall grass and
weeds, and all first floor doors and windows boazded.
Ms. Moezmond asked Ms. L why she was appealing the order.
Ms. Lazaryan stated that this matter was under the jurisdiction of the District Court and a hearing
was scheduled for June 26 concerning the registered vacant building status. She couldn't
understand why "you guys" tried to enforce something that "you" don't have jurisdiction over. This
applied to boarding over the first floor doors and windows. She claimed that the tall grass and
weeds had been cut. She asked Ms. Moermond whether they had had this conversation previously
about the dumpster.
Ms. Moermond responded that the previous orders were for the garbage bags that were in the
dumpster.
Ms. Lazaryan stated that they had talked about the dumpster before and she had continuously
inquired what the controlling ordinance was which cited how long a person could have a dumpster
before it violated the ordinance. She had "asked and asked and asked" and nobody seems to know
what ordinance was being violated. She said the ordinance had to be written specifically. She
didn't believe this could be enforced since there was nowhere that it said it was being violated
otherwise you are being "arbitrary and capricious." "Here we go again. Under what authority did
the City have to board over first floor doors and windows? Why would you board over somebody's
doars and windows? Has it been established that this was a registered vacant building that was
found open and unsecured? Did the inspector say this? No, he didn't say that. That was the
authority necessary in order to board over somebody's, house. This house is under appeal as to
whether it is a registered vacant building. It also has to be found open and unsecured. She said she
believed this was complete and total harassment by the City of St. Paul because they were fighting
the City of St. Paul. I am suing you in your personal capacity. It was absolutely outrageous that I
would haue to have a hearing in front of the person I was suing and have that person determine
whether or not to enforce the arder that she was suing about in the District Court. You have no
jurisdiction to put your fingers on this. Artd you have no jurisdiction coming out to my family's
house at tne hour that you especially came there. This rises to the level of terroristic threats and I
have already gone and asked the judge for a restraining order for you and for you and for every
other City employee who is hying to enforce something that is under the jurisdicrion of the court.
Maybe I can get that order at the hearing on Thursday. Was this what it would take for you to
actually obey the law? The law is when the admuustrative order is on appeal, it is stayed. That is
the law. This was not a license application. This was natural rights of natural persons in their
secured homes and these are consritutionally secured rights. You cannot do this to people! This
stuff is outrageous! Somebody's electricity gets shut off and you condemn their house? What kind
of monsters are you?! Horrible, homble, horrible monsters are you! My appeal is a jurisdictional
challenge. It doesn't matter what you say at this hearing because you have no jurisdiction. If you
do proceed without jurisdiction, then guess what? That little Simuiiary Judgment that Judge Higgs
June 24, 2008 Legislarive Hearing Minutes
� : ,./
signed that dismissed you out, you are right back in. Pm warning you, you operate without power
when you operate without jurisdiction; you are open to lawsuit. And you can't move on this
because the District Court has jurisdiction on it. You can't be sending your `goons' out to this
house trying to enforce something. Yeah, 8:00 at night, you're a`goon.' You can't be sending
these people out to this house to terrorize people. You do it again and I will get the proper law
enforcement against you folks. ffwe have to go Federal we will. Enough. So, I'm done. You
have a nice day!"
After the hearing was concluded, Ms. Moermond recommended denying the appeal.
