Gerry Strathman denied the appeal. 900 DeSoto Street August Waage, owner, appeared and stated he may not be able to get all the items done in the time al]otted him. No other inspector has requested so many corrections. This address is a laundromat, it does not make much money, and it is probably the lowest priced laundromat in Saint Paui. He has a problem with Item 15 that says he has to "provide screens where missing throughout residential unit." The Laundromat has central air and the windows aze not open. Item 5 says to "provide a one hour occupancy sepazation between commercial and residentaal spaces." He has lived here 18 years and has never been told to conect this. This may cost him about $4,OOQ so he might close the apartment instead of doing this. August Waage went through other items that he was willing to compiy with but questioned why this was the first time they were being mentioned. � August Waage says he can take care of the mouse problem as stated in Item 18 without paying someone else. The building has a new furnace and a flue gas analysis documentation as statec3 in Item 20 is unnecessary. Item 22 is about the sign above the front door. It has holes in it from vandalism. But the other side looks brand new. Repairing it would cost $300. Gerry Strathman stated August Waage is principally concerned about the one hour occupancy and the screens. Phillip Owens, Fire Prevention, reported this has been identified as a problem property with multiple complaints by the neighborhood and the district council, The screens aze required and there is no mention in the code about central air. Regarding the one hour separation, on occasion the property owner has been given a variance as long as it is owner occupied. Also, some of these things are not wear and tear. People are destroying them. The inspector took one picture of the properly and then was asked to leave. Mr. Owens showed Gerry Strathman a picture taken August 18 of a section of the wall with a hole in it. Gerry Strathman denied the appeal with the foilowing exceptions: variance granted on the one hour occupancy sepazation between commercial and residential spaces on condition that only the owner's immediate family occupy the residence and as long as August Waage owns the property, the owner will remove the mice himself instead of calling an exterminator, an approved carbon monoxide detector can be installed instead of the flue gas analysis. The owner was given until September 19, 1997 to take caze of ali the items. Council File # 91— i�� �'`;�?! t`;r.. t 4=-� j i�� . . � + . E ... . i �. .
