He said that he had sold the property for $16,000; however, the City had ordered the building demolished and he failed to show up at the Council hearings. He tried to obtain bids to demo the house himself, however, the City had demolished the building and now he was stuck with a lazge assessment. He said that he also owned the adjacent property which he had listed for sale for $19,000. He asked if he could spread the payments out on the tax assessment. Ms. Moermond recommended approving the assessment and told Mr. Skarda if he wished to have the payments spread out over a period of Yime, he would have to make his request to the City Council. 1096 Jessie Street (J0825A) Anna Ovsyannikova, property owner, appeared. Mr. Robinson stated that this was a vacant building. A letter was sent on December 10, 2008 to remove snow and/or ice from the public sidewalk with a compliance date of December 12.

Mr. Ovsyannikova stated that she never received any notice to clear the sidewalk or she would have made sure to notify her contractor to clear the walk. She said she had purchased the property on October 10, 2008 from Deutsche Bank. Mr. Essling confirmed that the work order listed the owner as Deutsche Bank. Ms. Moermond stated that since the owner did not receive proper legal notification, she recommended deleting the assessment. 242 Maria Avenue (J0825A) and (J0825G) Mr. Essling recommended the assessment for the clean and the gazbage hauling be deleted as the assessments were made in error.
