was the primary occupant. She said Kelly was in rehab treahnent at the time the orders were issued
and was not receiving her mail. She said when she was made aware of the orders against the
property, she did clean it up and removed a tremendous amount of cement from the side of the
gazage. She believed she had complied with the orders and wanted to know what work the City had
done.
Ms. Moermond asked to see the video which showed an overflowing trash container, bags of junk
and debris, and loose and scattered material by the gazage.
Ms. Moermond stated that she did not see any cement that was removed by the City. She said that
althou� some work had been done, the City clearly did remove trash from the property. She

Referred back by Councii on 3uly 1 as the owner missed the Legisiative Hearing on June 16.
Mr. Yannarelly stated that accord'mg to the file, a category 2 vacant building file was opened on
December 10, 2008 after the Fire inspector revoked the C of O on December 1, 200$. He said the C
of O had also been revoked on October 13, 2008 as the property lacked electrical and gas service.
The C of O was then re-instated as service had been restored until it was revoked again on
December l. On December 10, 2008, a regstration letter was sent to pay the 2009 vacant building.
When the owner failed to comply, the vacant building fee in the amount of $1,070 went to
assessment on March 27, 2009.
Christopher Zack, property owner, stated that he had lived at the property and then moved to Pine
City and did have a tenant in the house who then moved out. He said he still stayed at the property
when he was in St. Paul and wanted to know how he could get out of the Vacant Building Program.
Mr. Yannarelly responded that according to STt1Ml', Inspector Thomas indicated that the C of O
was revoked as the owner had a sick girlfriend, had no money, and no time to make any of the
repairs. He said he could not see the specific orders from Inspector Thomas; however, this was the
reason cited far the revocation of the C of O and the reason he referred it to Vacant Buildings as a
category 2. He indicated to Mr. Zack that the only way he could get out of the V acant Building
Program, since the C of O had been revoked, was to have a code compliance inspection and bring
the property up to code before it could be re-occupied.
Ms. Moermond questioned whether the property shouid be considered a vacant building since it was
being occupied on a part-time basis by the property owner. She indicated that she would need to
review the records before maldng a decision.
On July 22, Ms. Moermond reviewed the records and said that since the building had been vacant
for mare than 180 days and Mr. Zack failed to remedy the situation, she recommended approving
the assessment.

Owner failed to attend the June 16 Legislative Hearing; referred back by Council on July 1.
Mr. Essling stated that this was a category 2 vacant building and had been vacant since 7une 10,
2008. An emergency boarding was ordered by the St. Paul Police Deparhnent who contacted the
C1ty's boazding contractor to board the building on February 16, 2009. `The total assessment for the
boarding was $335. He said that there was a police report that was filed; however, he did not have
the CN number.
David Busch, DRB #24 LLC, stated that he was the property owner and purchased the property in
February 2009. He said he was the property owner of the property at the time and had no
knowledge of the boazding.
Ms. Moermond stated that she would obtain a copy of the police report; however, since it was an
emergency boarding ardered by the Police Department, he would not have received notificarion as
the police cannot leave the scene of a crime unsecured.
Ms. Moermond reviewed the police records and recommended approving the assessment.
