Property Code Enforcement Meeting
March 19,1996
1921 Roblvn Avenue
Fred Bassett, properry owner, appeazed and stated that he was ordered to vent the bathroom to the
exterior. He had hired a plumber to do the necessary work and was told by the plumber that this repair
could not be made as the wa11 was on the interior, surrounded by outer and upper walls.
Pat Fish, Fire Prevention, stated that all of the other repairs had been made. It was also the inspector's
opinion that venting the bathroom wall to the exterior may be impossible.
Mr. Strathman stated that since all other repairs had been made, he would grant the appeal.
800-804 E Third Street
Laura Krenz, a#orney for property owners, appeared and stated that the properiy was zoned for
commercial use. It was being rented to a tenant who intended to open a coffee shop, however, the
tenant failed to open the shop and was instead residing in the building. They had negotiated for the
tenant to move out of the building within the following 48 hours.
Ms. Fish stated that the list of corrections was based on a commercially zoned building being used as a
place of residence. If the building was indeed going to be vacated, the list of corrections concerning
804 E. Third was unnecessary. However, the list of correcrions concerning 800 E. Third, with the
exception of number one, would still need to be completed.
Mr. Strathman granted the appeal concerning the list of corrections for 804 E. Third Street; he granted
the appeal concerning the grouped location far service disconnects for 800 E. Third Street; and he
denied the appeal concerning exteriar lighting at entrance doors and to provide a covering for a11
junction boxes, outlets and switches.
1454 Roblyn Avenue
Richard Gross, properiy owner, appeared and stated that he was requesting an extension of time to
repair and replace the chimney. He had obtained the necessary permit to do the work, however, due to
the coid weather and the fact that the chimney was connected to his fi�rnace, he did not believe it was
feasible to replace the chimney at this time.
Dick Lippert, Public Health, appeazed and presented pictures of the property. He was concerned that
the chimney was in such a dilapidated condi6on, it was in jeopazdy of falling over and could
potentially injure someone.
Mr Strathman denied the appeal, but granted an extension for the following: March 26, 1996 to remove
the top portion of the chiinney and construct a barrier fence around the path of the chimney; May 17,
1996 to remove the remainder of the chimney; and September l, 1996 to replace the chixnney.

660 Wells Street
Anita Fairley, tenant, appeazed and stated that she formeriy resided at 660 Wells. She had made
numerous complaints to the owner of the building regarding the problems that needed to be fixed. The
owner never bothered to make any repairs. She was living in the building when it was condemned and
was no longer interested in retunring to the building to obtain any of her personal property as it had
been damaged by broken water pipes. She was requesting that she have her rent deposit retumed to her
as well as obtauung her renter's credit form from the landiord.
Mr. Strathman stated that he was not the proper authority to obtain her rent deposit nox her renter's
credit form for her. He suggested she contact the TenanYs Union as they were experts in dealing with
landlord/tenant disputes. He denied the appeal and waived the $25 filing fee.
