5. Appeal of Kenneth Shaw to a Condemnation & Order to Vacate and a Summary Abatement
Order for property at 869 Fuller Avenue.
Mr. Reardon stated that the property was condemned on 7uly 1 Q 2009 due to lack of utilities as
Xcel had cut the power at the pole after discovering the meter had been tampered with. He also
issued a summary abatement order as there was a significant amount of garbage strewn everywhere
and it appeazed there was no garbage service. The orders also indicated that the huilding needed to
be secured as the porch was open to entry and he had found what appeared to be a"homeless"
person sleeping in the porch and the second floor window was broken out.
Kenneth Shaw, appellant, stated that his sister, Diane Smith, owned the properiy. Ms. Moermond
stated that according to the owners listed on the orders, Wiiliam �liver, James Olive and Oscar
Oliver were also listed. She asked about the ownership status. Mr. Shaw responded that his sister's
step-mother had willed the property to her children and step-children. He said that his sister had
allowed her daugttter to move into the house and the daughter also had friends who moved in and
tore the house apart. His sister had contacted him and asked for his help with the house as the
electricity had been turned off. When he contacted Xcel, he discovered that his niece had a$3,000
bill with Xcel. He said the back porch had also been filled up with trash as his niece did not have
gazbage service. He then moved all of the trash to the gazage.
Ms. Moermond asked Mx. Shaw when he had moved into the house. Mr. Shaw responded that he
moved in on July 9 and had cleaned everything up inside. Ae said Xcel will not change the bill into
his name as they contend his niece is still living there. He didn't laiow what documentation he
would need to prove to Xcel that he was living at the property so that the power could be turned
back on.
Ms. Moermond stated that he hadn't bothered to contact Xcei regarding the utilities prior to moving
in. She said as far as Xcel not restoring the power, this was a private matter. She recommended
denying the appeal on the Suinmary Abatement Order and denying the appeal on the Condemnation
and Order to Vacate with an eatension grauted ta August i to vacate the property.
