They would agree, however, if occupancy were to increase in the building � they would require the building be re-inspected. Conce inff the rear guardrail, the building was located in the historic district wluch would require design appmval from the Historic Preservation Commission before replacement. The pmperty owner did not appear. Mr. Strathman denied the appeal concerning the electrical service; he recommended Fire Prevention allow an additionai six months to replace the rear guardrail. 526 Bidwell Street Mark Flavin, attorney from SMRI,S, appeazed on behalf of Marie Lueck, property owner. He had inspected the house that day with the property owner and did not believe that any of the violations listed would constitute condemnation of the building nor registration of the building as vacant. It was his information that Ms. Lueck had never received any ofthe correction orders until the beginning of January, i 997 and that notice was mailed in error. Ms. Lueck had lived in the home prior to sufFering a stroke in July, 1996 and had resided in a nursing home since that time. It was her intenfion to move back into the home as soon as she was physically able. Ms. Lueck was willing to take responsiMlity to repau the front stairs and upgrade the electrieal system, if necessary, however, he did not believe fhat the eaterior of the house nor the garage or shed were in dire need of painting or repair. Marie Lueek, property owner, appeazed and stated that she was a responsible person and receiving the condemnation order on her home had caused her great stress. It was her desire to move back into her home at the end of April, 1997 and reside in the home un61 she was no longer physically able. Steve Hildebrandt, Ramsey County Sociai Worker, appeazed representing Marie Lueck. He had inspected the home that day with the properry owner. He was willing to azrange to have volunteers go in and clean up the interior of the home prior to Ms. Lueck re-occupying the building. It was his opinion that fhe home was habitable. Cazolyn Shepazd, Public Health, presented pictures of the property. She stated that she had been informed by one of the neighbors that the property owners were deceased. Notices were mailed to the properry address in an effort to obtain a response. The code did allow for condemnation for exterior violations and she pointed out that there had been an attempt to inspect the interior, however, the owner had refused entrance. Mr. Sirathman stated that he would grant the appeat for condemnation on the condition that the front stairway be repaired prior to re-occupancy, that Public Health be allowed to inspect the interior of the building, that a plan be developed to bring the building into code compliance by September 1,1997. He also recommended removing the vacant building status. Property Code En€orcement Febniary 18, 1997 Page - 2 - 46 and 48 W. Isabel The property owner did not appear.

Don duenemann, Public Health, stated that he would agree to item number three as the code only required two outlets in any habitable azea. Regazding item number six, the only information he obtained was from the tenants and that was that when the bathroom sink would drain, it would come up through the bathtub. Concerning the location of the gas shut-off valve, it was not acceptable to have the valve located in the basement as the code required that this be located within five feet of the stove.
