J1004A Property clean ups from February 12 to February 25, 2010;
96 Manitoba Avenue (J1004A)
Rescheduled from May 18.
Mr. Essling stated orders were sent on February 3, 2010 to remove fiuniture, a couch, cushions and
other debris in the backyazd and garage area with a compliance date of February 10. The property
was inspected on February 10 and was not in compliance. A work order was sent to Pazks who did
the work on February 12, 2010 for a total assessment of $428. The orders were mailed to Robert
Rani at 961 Lydia Drive in Roseville, which mail was returned, and to Robert Rani at 172 Red Oaks
Drive in St. Paul which there was no returned mail.
Robert Rani, prbperty owner stated that he never received the notice to clean up the yard and that he
had not lived at the address in Roseville since 2003 and didn't understand why this address would
still be in the system. He said this was a duplex with the lower unit being empty and upper unit had
a problem tenant. This tenant had trashed the inside and dumped stuff outside of the property
which they worked with the SPPD to get rid of the tenants.
Ms. Moermond asked to see the video which showed a couch and cushions in the backyazd and
debris near the garage which was removed by Parks.
Mr. Rani argued that the assessment was excessive and the couch was inside the yard so he didn't
understand how this was a violation. Ms. Moermand indicated that he was responsible for
maintaining his property and recommended approving the assessment.
