LEGISLATIVE HEARING ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION City of Saint Paul Page 7 City Council Minutes - Final February 27, 2019 36 RLH RR 19-4 Ordering the rehabilitation or razing and removal of the structures at 888 MARYLAND AVENUE EAST within fifteen (15) days after the February 27, 2019, City Council public hearing. (Amend to remove within 15 days with no option for repair) Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond said this had been a registered vacant building since May 6, 2016. She said the building was owned by Mr. Meltzer and had been sold on a contract for deed to an LLC with three members who were not in agreement as to how the building should be redeveloped. She said one of the three would like to have it developed as a tobacco shop and the other two would like it redeveloped as a restaurant. She said it was stated in the context of the Legislative Hearing she stated that a single plan was needed in order for the building to be redeveloped, and no building permits could be issued without a clear end-use in place. She noted there had been 17 summary abatement orders during the 18 months it had been a registered vacant building, for things like garbage and rubbish, boarding, tall grass and weeds, and snow and ice removal. She said there was no question in her mind that it had been a nuisance property in the neighborhood, and vacant commercial properties had statistically been shown to attract violent criminal activity. She said given the disagreement, she would not recommend that the Council except either of the redevelopment plans. She said Mr. Meltzer attended two Legislative Hearings, and had left yesterday's hearing knowing the recommendation to the Council would be to order the building removed within 15 days with no option for rehabilitation. She said he consulted an attorney about his ability to pursue the rehabilitation himself through possible cancellation of the contract. She said they discussed possible scenarios, and from her perspective, the notice of the October 17 order to abate a nuisance building was sent to all parties with a 30-day compliance period; the first Legislative Hearing was scheduled on January 29 which allowed additional weeks; and none of the parties took steps during that time to come into agreement. She said two attorneys were present representing the parties. Council President Brendmoen confirmed with Ms. Moermond that the parties present were aware that five minutes was allowed for testimony. Ms. Moermond said they were, and she had let them know the Council members had the Legislative Hearing record in front of them. Councilmember Busuri asked how many times Ms. Moermond had met with the parties. Ms. Moermond said the original Legislative Hearing was scheduled for January 29, and the matter was laid over for two weeks to allow the parties to meet and discuss options. She said the next hearing was scheduled for February 13 and there was a request by one of the attorneys to reschedule. She said she agreed to reschedule to the end of February with the expectation that final rather than draft plans be presented at that meeting, to include all of the usual items such as a work plans and available financing, as well as a contract showing they were in agreement. Council President Brendmoen confirmed with Ms. Moermond that that was the meeting at which she received two different work plans. Property owner Les Meltzer said he sold the property under contract for deed to SMH Corporation, and nothing was done since 2016. He said they had tried to comply with the requests of the LLC, he was perhaps naive to think the three-member LLC would not put the property in jeopardy. He said the property was a nuisance and not what the neighborhood deserved, but was not a health or safety risk. He said his attorney was present and would propose a way to maintain the valuable building and go forward. City of Saint Paul Page 8 City Council Minutes - Final February 27, 2019 Attorney Chris Ferreira said they had cancelled the contract twice in a two-year period for monetary default, which they cured. He said they sent the October order to one of the partner's attorney asking what communications were being made with the City, and the response was that there was constant communication with City and inspector, and he had emails to that effect. He said they relied on those representations that the work was getting done, and learned yesterday that they (the buyers) couldn't resolve their dispute. He said they were ready to cancel the contract with the LLC, which was in default for committing waste and for not complying with City orders; and they wanted to protect Mr. Meltzer's interest under the contract. He noted that Mr. Meltzer had owned the property for almost 30 years. He asked that they be allowed to cancel the contract and make the repairs immediately, which they had the financial capability to do. Attorney Nathan Krogh, representing two of the shareholders: Mohamed Shambolia and Hasan Hasan. He said there were three shareholders, and there was a dispute over control of the corporation. He said Mr. Shambolia and Mr. Hasan, as two of the three shareholders, had the decision-making ability for the corporation. He said both sides wanted to improve the property and abate the nuisance, but Mr. Al-Hawwari's plan for a tobacco shop did not have a majority shareholder consent, and he could not sign a lease on behalf of the LLC. He said Mr. Al-Hawwari's claim as a 50-50 owner did not give him the authority to submit a plan and put his own tobacco shop in there. Council President Brendmoen said this was the 11.9th hour, the building had been vacant for almost three years, the order was issued in October with Legislative Hearings in January, and it seemed absurd to be talking about the details of the business relationship at this Council meeting. Mr. Krogh said his clients wanted to perform and had a work plan in place for the restaurant, but they couldn't with the dispute. He reiterated that as two-thirds owners and corporate officers they had the authority to make the decisions. Ahmad Al-Hawwari said they we were kicked out of the corporation for not making a financial contribution, so he was assigned to take over the building with his other partner and had been making the mortgage payments since September 2017. He said he ordered and paid for the Code Compliance after receiving the order from the City, and attended the Code Compliance meeting with the inspectors. He said he had intended to buy a Super America but decided to open a tobacco shop in this building instead. He said he hired an electrician who was just waiting for the final permit inspection, and had hired a plumber who was now unable to pull a permit because of the dispute. He said it was almost done, and if he or the building owner were and extension, he promised it would be done in no time. He said a restaurant would be be costly. He said they had an architect and site plan but could not submit it because of the interference from the behalf of the other parties who suddenly wanted to be back in the picture. Mr. Ferreira said the seller didn't take action in October because Mr. Krogh was not involved until late January when the dispute was initiated, and Mr. Al-Hawwari's attorney made representations to the seller that everything was being taken care of with the City. Councilmember Busuri moved to close the public hearing. Yeas - 7 Nays - 0 Councilmember Busuri said enough time was given and Ms. Moermond had done her best to bring the parties together, and he hoped they would work it out together. Council President Brendmoen asked for clarification of Ms. Moermond's City of Saint Paul Page 9 City Council Minutes - Final February 27, 2019 recommendation. Ms. Moermond said her recommendation was that the Council order the building removed within 15 days. Councilmember Noecker asked whether the parties could use those 15 days to talk about the issues raised. Ms. Moermond said the Council would be issuing an order that allowed only for the building's removal as a means for abating the nuisance condition. Councilmember Busuri moved to adopt Ms. Moermond's recommendation. Councilmember Tolbert spoke in support of the motion. Councilmember Prince asked what the motion would look like if the Council wanted to allow the parties to present a plan if they were able to develop one in the next two weeks. Ms. Moermond said the Council had on occasion said they would reconsider a matter if some conditions were met. Council President Brendmoen if there was an "unless" clause, it would have to be very clear. Councilmember Prince asked what if the owner was able to cancel the contract and come forward with a plan in 15 days; she said that was a condition she would accept. Councilmember Noecker said she would be interested in talking about Councilmember Prince's suggestion; she said she was sympathetic to the plight of the owner but was hesitant to give more than 15 days. Council President Brendmoen said the challenge was being presented with this level of detail and confusion at the table, and she was usually inclined to send it back to Legislative Hearing for one last whirl. She said she wondered what a week would do if they couldn't do it in six months. Councilmember Busuri said with the time since October and the work that Ms. Moermond did, enough time was given. He said the owner received the notices and attended every meeting. Council President Brendmoen said she would support Mr. Busuri's motion. Adopted as amended (remove within 15 days with no option for repair) Yea: 5- Councilmember Brendmoen, Councilmember Thao, Councilmember Tolbert, Councilmember Jalali Nelson and Councilmember Busuri Nay: 2- Councilmember Noecker and Councilmember Prince City of Saint Paul Page 10 City Council Minutes - Final February 27, 2019 37 RLH VBR 19-5 Appeal of Zoltan Pusenyak to a Vacant Building Registration Notice at 1024 MINNEHAHA AVENUE EAST. Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond said this was a no-show Legislative Hearing on February 5. She said the Certificate of Occupancy was revoked on November 28, effective December 12 and a vacant building file was opened January 7. She said the Legislative Hearing date was pushed out further than usual at the owner's request due to travel plans, and in that case no other rescheduling was offered. She said Ramsey County Veterans Services had contacted her and had an interest because a veteran was in residence. She said she didn't know whether he was still living there, but she was concerned that the owner hadn't resolved the issue that the building was to have been vacated in mid-December. She said her recommendation without anyone present at the Legislative Hearing was to waive the vacant building fee for 90 days and allow until March 1 for the Certificate of Occupancy to be reinstated. She said the appellant was present asking for more time. Property owner Zoltan Pusenyak said he would like an extension for compliance. He said there were permits that had been open for a long time, and some were accepted by the inspector but not all. He said the inspector was coming on Friday at 11:00 to check dryer vent, and he needed to schedule the Certificate of Occupancy inspection. Council President Brendmoen said it sounded like most of the work had been completed, and Mr. Pusenyak just needed permits signed off. Ms. Moermond said there was an open plumbing permit which was pulled on October 16, 2018. She said a building permit was pulled in September and closed, with a building warning and double fee. She said it looked like the plumbing permit was the key item. Council President Brendmoen asked how much time was needed to schedule a Certificate of Occupancy inspection. Ms. Moermond said if the property was in the Legislative Hearing process an inspection could be scheduled within a week; otherwise it could be two or three. Mr. Pusenyak said he had a company taking care of the house, but somehow it had been going on for six months or more. He said he had paid $10,000 for the repairs, and the permits still needed to be closed. He said communication has been slow because notices were sent to the management company. Council President Brendmoen asked Mr. Pusenyak to make sure he was listed in Ramsey County property records. Council President Brendmoen said she would accept Ms. Moermond's recommendation but extend the time to March 15; she asked whether two weeks seemed reasonable. Mr. Pusenyak said it did. Council President Brendmoen said there had been a lot of investment in that neighborhood and she wanted Mr. Pusenyak to be a contributing part of the community. She said she would talk to him after the hearing about their small rental rehab loan to help get things on track. Council President Brendmoen moved to close the public hearing. Yeas - 7 Nays - 0 Council President Brendmoen moved to grant an extension to March 15 to have the Certificate of Occupancy reinstated. Adopted as amended (extension granted) City of Saint Paul Page 11 City Council Minutes - Final February 27, 2019 Yea: 7- Councilmember Brendmoen, Councilmember Thao, Councilmember Tolbert, Councilmember Noecker, Councilmember Prince, Councilmember Jalali Nelson and Councilmember Busuri Nay: 0 38 RLH FCO 19-7 Appeal of John S. Jagiela to a Fire Inspection Correction Notice at 134 MONTROSE PLACE. Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond said the issue was a washing machine plugged into a power strip, which was called out in the inspection. She said two options for addressing it were to move the power supply or, as the owner was proposing, change out the cord on the washing machine for a longer one. She said that was a building code matter and not something she would make a recommendation on or would go before the Council. She said she had involved the senior electrical inspector, and her recommendation for the Council had to do with the length of time granted. She said her recommendation at the January 22 Legislative Hearing was to grant until March 1. She said she believed the senior electrical inspector was working with the appellant, and what the appellant was looking for was more time. She said the nitty gritty of the electrical situation was not before the Council. Councilmember Jalali Nelson asked what happened if the Council granted an extension and there was not compliance. Ms. Moermond said the Department of Safety and Inspections would take enforcement action. Property owner John Jagiela said the washing machine was plugged into an extension cord for 20 years. He said it was a Kenmore washing machine, and he called Sears, and they said they made an optional 10-foot cord. He said the electrical inspector was asking for documentation that the 10-foot cord was approved by the manufacturer. He said Sears guaranteed, on their website and in the information sent to him, that all parts were manufacturer approved. He said he felt it was unreasonable for him to track down and get a letter from the manufacturer, even though Sears said it was manufacturer-approved. Sear wouldn't say that if it wasn't the case, because it would create huge liability for them. Councilmember Jalali Nelson asked Ms. Moermond to clarify her recommendation. Ms. Moermond said her recommendation was to grant to March 1; she said it sounded like that hadn't been a resolution and the Council might be interested in granting a little more time. She said an appeal of an electrical code requirement would go through the building official, and what was before the Council were the Fire Certificate of Occupancy orders, and the action they could take was to grant an extension for compliance. Council President Brendmoen suggested granting 30 days and working with Mr. Jagiela on navigate the building code piece. Councilmember Jalali Nelson moved to extend the deadline to April 1.
