4. Summary Abatement Assessments referred back by Council on March 17:
VB0909 Collection of delinquent Vacant Building fees re-invoiced in November 2009
1017 Armstrone Avenue (VB0909)
Mr. Yannarelly stated that this was a category 2 vacant building which file was opened on August 6,
2004. The annual vacant building fee was due in the amount of $1,070.
Johann Massmann, property owner, stated that he was appealing why the property should be in the
Vacant Building Program. He said he was currently in default on his mortgage and had talked to his
credit union on options. He suggested that he only have to make the repaizs as listed in the original
condemnation letter from June 2009 to bring the property into compliance which he believed he
could have completed by the end af the summer.
Ms. Moermond reviewed the orders and the photos that were in STAMP with Mr. Massmann. She
asked why he had not appealed the condemnation orders at that time. Mr. Massmann responded
that the condemnation order had been routed to Paduka before he received it which was after the
date he could have filed an appeal. He said when Inspector Shaff inspected the property she was
only able to stay in the building a few minutes given the urine problem with the tenant. At that
time, she was concerned about getting the tenant out of the building and he allowed the
condemnation and order to vacate proceed. He said Inspector Shaff had given him assurances that
she would not refer the building to the Vacant Building Program and would give him up to a year to
make tl�e repairs. Then in August 2009, he received the vacant building registration notice and
called Inspector Shaff as to why he had been refened to the Vacant Building Program when she had
told him she would give him up to a year to complete the repairs. He said Inspector Shaff inerely
told him that "I changed my mind" and referred the property to the Vacant Building Program.
Ms. Moermond responded that he didn't appeal the condemnation order or the vacant building
registration notice and fee; he had a urine soaked house, the building met the definition of a
category 2 vacant building, and he would need to have a code compliance inspection done and the
property brought into code compliance before it could be re-occupied. She asked if there had been
a sheriff sale yet. Mr. Massmann responded that a sheriff sale had not yet been scheduled; however,
he was ready to turn the keys over to the credit union as he didn't have the money. He reiterated his
conversation with Ms. Shaff regarding the referral to the Vacant Building Program and that he
shouldn't be in the program.
Ms. Moermond recommended laying the matter over to Apri120 to obtain a statement from Ms.
Shaff regazding her recollection of conversations she may have had with Mr. Massmann. She said
she would likely recommend approving the assessment and spreading the payments over five years.
