Report on a Certificate of Occupancy Deficiency List and Vacant Building Assessment for property at 667-669 SurreyAvenue. (referred by LHO on October 21) Greg Oppegazd, property owner, appeazed. Ms. Shaff gave a staff report. She stated that a referral had led to a fire certificate of occupancy (C of O) inspection and that the C of O had been revoked on August 6, 2007 a8er numerous re- inspections. She said that the owner did not show up for an inspection on April 13, 2007 and that no exterior work from code enforcement orders had been done. The owner again did not show up for an inspection on May 9, 2007 and the person answering the door on the first floor refused to allow access and the second floor unit appeared to be vacant. On June 15, 2007 the owner's father met with the inspector. The inspector found that the upper unit was vacant and there were issues involving smoke detectors in a lower-unit bedroom. The owner did not show up for an inspection on July 17, 2007 and had le& a phone message with the inspector stating that he could not afford to do any repairs and that a relative who was staying rent-free at the property had been asked to move out by the end of the month. The inspector confirmed that no work had been done and revoked the C of O. The owner again did not show up for an inspection on August 1, 2007 and the lower unit was still occupied. The occupant stated that he'd been given until that day to vacate. Ms. Moermond asked whether an inspection had been completed. Mr. Oppegard stated that he hadn't known whether he needed to wait until after the hearing to have the inspection and that the work was not completed yet. He said he'd tried to initiate conversations with DSI-Fire about financial consideraYions, estabiishing timelines and clazifying some of the items but had not been successful. Ms. Moermond asked whether any work had been done since the last hearing. Mr. Oppegard responded that.a lot had been done. Ms. Moermond asked why a new inspection had not been scheduled if work had been completed. Mr. Oppegard responded that he hadn't been sure whether the whole list had to be completed first. Ms. Moermond asked whether the property was in Mr. Oppegard's name. Mr. Oppegard responded that he had a contract for deed with his mother-in-law for the property and that the property was in his name. Ms. Moermond indicated that since Mr. Oppegard had not contacted DSI-Fire for the C of O inspection and that the building had been vacant for over a year, that the vacant building fee should be paid. Mr. Oppegard asked whether there were alternatives. He said that he paid property taYes and had never had a police or fire call. Ms. Moermond reviewed the definitions of a vacant building and said that Mr. Oppegazd's property met rivo of the criteria. Mr. Oppegard asked how the amount of the fee was determined, what it represented and whether everyone paid the same fee. Ms. Moermond responded that everyone paid the same fee and that the new fee had been instituted by the city council in the last few months. She recommended approving the assessment. � N I W Q I O � ��o w N � � C9 F � c 4 a� d W�ry W � N O i rk � m a � cv I N I i � U] � O O O 11 O i �; O O O II O I •II � O O O II O O� O ut N II P i E £ � o�arlio �'] RC I .
