Suminary Abatement Assessments referred back by Council on Jan. 6:
J�916A Property clean ups from Ju1y 13 to July 3Q, 2Q09
J0913G, J0914G and J0915G Weekly garbage hauling services from July 1 to August 13,
2009
584 Magnolia Avenue East (J0916A)
Mr. Yannarelly stated that this was a category 2 vacant building which file �vas opened on July 14,
2008. Orders were issued on July 20, 2009 to remove brush piles and scrap wood piles in the yard
with a compliance date of July 23. The property was re-inspected on July 23 and was not in
compliance. A work order was sent to Pazks who did the clean up on July 27, 2009 for a total
assessment of $791. The orders were mailed to Citimortgage in Missouri and to Chad and Jody
Wagner in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.
Choua Fang and Lee Moua appeared on behalf o£ the property owner, Yee Fang. Ms. Moermond
asked when Mr. Fang closed on the purchase of the property. Ms. Moua responded the closing was
June 18, 2009.
Ms. Moermond recommended deleting the assessment as the property owner did not receive proper
legal notification.
554 Van Buren Avenue (J0913G, J0914G and J0915G)
Mr. Essling stated that orders were issued on May 22, 2009 to provide proof of licensed hauler
service with a compliance date of May 27. The property was re-inspected on May 28 and the owner
failed to provide proof of service. A work order was sent to Parks who dropped off a container and
began weekly garbage hauling service on June 3, 2009. The assessments being appealed were for
service from July 1 through August 12 which was seven weeks of service. He said there were six
previous weeks of garbage hauling service to the property which had already been assessed and
ratified. The total amount of the assessments far the seven weeks of service was $425.
Tom Thomas, property owner, stated that his tenants were responsible for providing their own
garbage service under the terms of the lease and had apparently stopped service. The tenants then
moved out in July and he then got a dumpster to clean the interior and exterior of the property. He
said he was not challenging the assessments for the city providing garbage hauling service May
through July; however, the property was vacant in August and he did not believe he should be
responsible for those assessments. He said he was pursuing legal action against the former tenants.
Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Essling whether the owner ever verified having garbage service at the
property. Mr. Essling responded that he did not. He believed the owner called the city in August
indicating that the property was vacant. Garbage service was then stopped.
Ms. Moermond indicated to Mr. Thomas that since he had not contacted the city until August that
the building was vacant and garbage service was no longer necessary, she recommended approving
the assessments for file numbers J0913G and J0914G far garbage service in July and deleting the
assessment for J0915G for garbage service in August.
