Steve Magner, Code Enforcement Manager: read letter sent out Dec 28, 2018 to Dennis Winge & Neal Christopherson (attached); conditions to be met today (2nd opportunity): 1. provide contractual agreement between Dennis Winge and the owner. This will be a contractual agreement which must stipulate that Dennis Winge, as the purchaser, will be undertaking the rehabilitation of the property while the property is still owned by Mr. Neal Christopherson and that title is not transferred until the rehabilitation is completed and a code compliance certificate is issued. This agreement is subject to approval by the City; 2.

Documentation of financing sufficient to execute the above work plan will need to be demonstrated (line of credit, construction loan, personal bank account). The City estimates the cost to repair to exceed $50,000; however, Dennis Winge has estimated the work to be $80,000; documentation of financing must show funds commensurate with the bids and construction statements; 4. If the funds being used are not tied to the project (such as a construction loan), an affidavit is required that states the necessary funds will be set aside from other business or personal accounts; and 5.

Ms. Moermond: according to Jim Seeger, 65% of the rehab is complete -I found your Scope of Work to be skimpy; it wasn't clear to me how this plan connects back to the contract that was in place with the rehabber; I have this document saying that the job's going to be done in 180 days & will cost $80,000+; I also have this that says, "This isn't done; we're going to give you these number of lines to tell you how we're going to get done;" it's not an official addendum on this contract that's been agreed to by all & signed off on; it doesn't address the problem at hand; the Council would say that you didn't do your work plan & you're failing by 6 months Mr. Kim: what's on that sheet of paper is what's remaining to be done; we're ready to get this job done; once we finish all these given items, we should be finished Ms. Moermond: can you provide a better document? -also, I see an account balance of $34,000 but I don't have any idea how much has been paid on the $80,000; I don't know if this amount of money will address completing this contract -these pieces of paper don't telll me what I need to know Mr. Kim: we should have sent you more information -we spent about $44,000 on the house of the $80,000; & we are looking to spend another $49,000 to complete the house; the extra cost comes from renovating the boiler system, which we didn't expect we'd have to do; the heating system wasn't functioning properly; it took us a while to get bids from a number of companies just to get radiators; then, we decided to replace the old system & get forced air, which took us another 2 weeks to schedule for bids & another 2 weeks to schedule for installment & another 2 weeks to get things done (winter is the busiest time of the year for installing furnaces); that threw us off schedule; now, we are on track to get it done in a couple of months Ms. Moermond: get me documentation that addresses my concerns Steve Magner, Code Enforcement Manager: I'm just looking for a revised Work Plan with timelines Mr. Kim: we can get that info to you by the end of this week or early next week Ms. Moermond: -I will put this in front of City Council on Jan 23, 2019 -get it to me by the end of this week -show me an agreement as an addendum to the work plan showing where we're at & we all agree; where the money is at & we all agree & where is the $49,000 coming from? ____ City of Saint Paul Page 4 Legislative Hearings Meeting Minutes - Action Only January 15, 2019 Recommendation is forthcoming.

Jagiela to a Fire Inspection Correction Notice at 134 MONTROSE PLACE. Sponsors: Jalali Nelson Layover to January 22 to get additional information on relevant sections of electrical code; grant to July 1, 2019 for the exterior peeling paint. John S. Jagiela, owner, appeared. Fire Supervisor Leanna Shaff: Fire Inspection Correction Notice from inspection Dec 11, 2018 by Fire Inspector Steve Pieczykolan -being appealed: basement washer which was plugged into a power strip; Insp says that it must be plugged directly into a permanent wall outlet; and Mr. Jagiela is looking for more time to address the peeling paint throughout the exterior of the bldg & the garage Ms. Moermond: makes sense to address the peeling paint in warmer weather; Ms. Shaff is looking for the other doable things to be done first; then, she would automatically extend the paint job -you attached the 2002 electrical code; you think you should be able to plug the washer into a power strip (?) Mr. Jagiela: right, because the code cited by the fire inspector applies to compressor motors; it doesn't apply to washing machines; when I bought the washing machine, they sold me this power strip because the outlet is too far away from where the washing machine needs to go - next to the tub; they said that it was an approved power strip; I've done that for 29 years & there've been a lot of inspectors that have come out there in 29 years -Sears said that I could plug it into a power strip -there's a difference between air conditioners, refrigerators, with compressor motors; the washer just has a motor that spins around the drum Ms. Moermond: I've never heard of that -we're not operating out of a 2002 code & I'm not aware of any listing that would allow for it to be plugged into a power strip; so, I'm looking for some additional information from you -do we have photos from the inspector Ms. Shaff: not of that Ms. Moermond: we could use some photos of what's going on here & confirm with the Sr. Electrical Insp about Ms. Shaff: I spoke to Mr. Moynihan, Sr. Electrical Insp, earlier today; he confirmed City of Saint Paul Page 6 Legislative Hearings Meeting Minutes - Action Only January 15, 2019 that a power strip isn't OK for a couple of reasons even on a washing machine -we require that all appliances be listed "appliances" so anything other than a direct wall outlet would probably void the listing for the washing machine & a power strip would not be listed for use for a washing machine Mr. Jagiela: the problem is that he cited these electrical code provisions that apply to compressor motors & that code provision doesn't really apply to washers Ms. Moermond: 440.13 here in the Order might be the same as 440.13 in the 2002 code & it might not because these codes get re-worked & things move around; what I need to know is if we still have a match between the citation he's using in the Orders, what you provided me & what the current code is; we can get the electrical insp to produce it but what the Sr. Electrical Inspector said was that in his opinion, the electrical code does not allow for use of a power strip for washing machines; we can provide that code citation to you; we'll make sure that happens Ms. Shaff: just because something has been allowed before doesn't mean it's allowed to continue, according to the many code books I've read -if the insp provided the wrong code section, we will immediately change it to the right one, which will require that you cease using a power strip with a washing machine Ms. Moermond: I will talk with Mr. Moynihan to get a current citation & get it into your hands -if we need to schedule another LH, we'll let you know -I'll grant an extension to Jul 1, 2019 for the exterior painting Mr. Jagiela: the house is stucco; so, when I bought it in 1990, the previous owner had painted the stucco, which is not what you're supposed to do; so, either I hire someone to sandblast the house & put stucco back on & get a 20 year fix or I paint it; I have painted it 4-5 times (they always claim that it'll last 10 years but it never lasts 10 years); the fire inspector said that you just can't have peeling paint; so take it off, even if the stucco isn't painted, it's fine; I need to look into having it sandblasted & re-stuccoed but I haven't talked to a contractor yet Ms. Moermond: so, you don't know what your choice is going to be & based on that choice, you don't know how much time you'll need Mr. Jagiela: for sure, I think that I can get the peeling paint off the bldg Ms. Moermond: repairs need to be done in a workman like manner; so, be aware of that -let's continue this conversation in 2 weeks, Jan 29, 2019 at 1:30 pm Mr. Jagiela: I have a trial that starts on Jan 28 in Hennepin County & it's on a 3-week calendar Ms. Moermond: so let's go with Jan 22, 2019; call your contractor & figure out how you want to approach this problem with peeling paint on stucco & we'll close conversation on the power strip/washer; right now, I'm looking at an extension of bringing things into compliance by Jul 1, 2019 ____ Laid Over to the Legislative Hearings due back on 1/22/2019 City of Saint Paul Page 7 Legislative Hearings Meeting Minutes - Action Only January 15, 2019 2:30 p.m. Hearings Vacant Building Registrations 11 RLH VBR 19-2 Appeal of Stephanie Carr to a Vacant Building Registration Fee Warning Letter at 121 HATCH AVENUE.

Referred to the City Council due back on 2/13/2019 12 RLH VBR 19-4 Appeal of Betty Gruber to a Vacant Building Registration Notice and Summary Abatement Order at 675 HAWTHORNE AVENUE EAST. Sponsors: Brendmoen Betty Gruber, owner, appeared. Ms. Moermond: I understand that you're in the VB Program because of a Fire C of O Revocation Fire Supervisor Leanna Shaff: Fire Certificate of Occupancy Revocation -we been here for the same property for a multitude of reasons: this one, in particular got started with more of my involvement in Jul 2017 where we found a meth lab in the garage; it had a C of O at that time, the garage was contaminated; in order to give Mr. & Mrs. Gruber enough time as possibe, we condemned just the garage; the renters were in the house moved on; unfortunately, the people who had started the lab were reported to be living in the garage; I was called by SPPD that people were living in that garage when we began the Fire C of O process in May 2018; we were dealing with the tenants a lot & I had to remind him that he was not the property owner; we had difficulty numerous times getting a response from Mr. or Mrs. Gruber -at the initial inspection in May 2018, I called out the exterior items & I incorporated the issues with the garage clean up into those Orders -there were inspections in May, Jun, Sep, with no movement on any of that -I understand that Spalding Decontamination was out there & decontaminated the garage but I still have not received paperwork for that from the Grubers; so, I can't substantiate all of that -on Nov 1, 2018, I again, was not met at the property by the Grubers; in fact, Terry Olson, the person who had caused them much angst & issues, was actually working on their house at 671 Hawthorne Ave E; -consequently, I Revoked the Fire C of O for long term noncompliance -the tenants are not there; the mailbox reads "Vacant;" I've been able to look into the windows & see that it was vacant -the last time I spoke with Mrs. Gruber, she said that she wanted to use 675 for storage; I told her that was not OK for a vacant bldg Supervisor Matt Dornfeld, VB Program: Insp Friel met a person who identified himself as Roger at the property on Jan 3, 2019; he stated that property owners were allowing him to stay there; I told him he could not & suggested the owner file an appeal; house was referred with a Revoked C of O by Fire Insp Shaff; house has peeling paint, defects in soffit/fascia as well as a number of deficiencies included on the Revocation City of Saint Paul Page 8 Legislative Hearings Meeting Minutes - Action Only January 15, 2019 list; 2-car garage is open; detached wood shed is secure; open Cat 2 VB file; issued SA to secure garage Mrs. Gruber: he was supposed to be fixing up the place & that Spalding - according to him, the garage is all cleaned up; I told him that we needed paperwork; he said, "I don't want to deal with you; I want to deal with her" (Ms. Shaff); he acted like he was going to call you -somebody stole the light right off the garage Mr. Dornfeld: Insp Friel put into his report that Roger said he was living at 675 (Jan 3, 2019) -for the record, 1576 Griggs St N which shows up as Ms. Gruber's homesteaded address, was Condemned & made a Cat 2 VB back in Jul for severe gross unsanitary conditions; it has been secured multiple times by Restoration Professionals; there have been police calls Mrs. Gruber: he was supposed to just be fixing; well, at that time, we didn't have the VB letter -Griggs got broken into; they ransacked the house; threw everything on the floor -we had gotten it all cleaned up; now, we're cleaning up again Ms. Moermond: I see that the Reg VB letter from DSI went out on Jan 7, 2019 but Ms. Gruber, the C of O was Revoked well before that Ms. Shaff: that bldg was ordered vacated effective Nov 30, 2018; that Revocation letter dated Nov 1, 2018 was addressed to Betty Gruber, 671 Hawthorne Ave E Mrs. Gruber: we had a problem with our mail at that time; I had my purse stolen & someone had put "return to sender" on the mail so, we weren't getting it; we never got that letter Ms. Shaff: I was in phone/email contact with Aaron, the tenant at 671, who assured me that he had spoken to you, Ms. Gruber; you were having him try to do your dealings Ms. Gruber: because he had a computer; he said that he emailed you the contracts for him to do fixing; they were going to come over to paint the house & then, we got all that rain; so, they postponed it Ms. Moermond: could you describe the conditions?; I don't have the Revocation handy Ms. Shaff: I haven't been inside the house for quite some time now; I know that the garage is wide open & as far as SPPD is concerned, that's a good thing at this point so Mr. Olson & his friends don't move into the garage & shed again -house & garage need paint; documentation of compliance for decontamination of garage; damaged electrical fixture on garage; garage apron needing to be repaired; shed needs painting; steps to rear doorway were deteriorated & unsafe Ms. Gruber: the house is all fixed up now; he was the son of a minister so, we trusted him; he did some cleaning & that Roger guy was fixing up -we will not rent the house again -we wanted someone in there, because my husband is disabled, to mow the grass & shovel snow - pay no rent Ms. Moermond: it would still have to have a C of O whether or not you charge rent City of Saint Paul Page 9 Legislative Hearings Meeting Minutes - Action Only January 15, 2019 Ms. Gruber: Mr. Gruber is at home, 671 Hawthorne, & I'm laid off; he has a nurse who comes over once a week & his foot is almost healed up Ms. Shaff: In a few months past, I've spoken with Mr. Gruber & he doesn't seem to know who I am even after dealing with him for a few years on these properties, so with the house not being secured, I don't trust that other people won't be moving in; it's sound like this Roger has moved in again Ms. Moermond: you need to get Spalding's paperwork to the city; the city will hold you accountable; other than that, there's not too much wrong with the property & without you living there, you'll need a C of O for it to be occupied -it makes sense to me that if you can get the documentation that the meth lab clean up has occurred that you'd be given a certain length of time to get your Certificate re-instated but you don't want to have anybody live there so, we're kind of in the VB Program Ms. Gruber: we just want to fix it up to sell it Ms. Moermond: first, contact a realtor who will represent you in this, someone who you trust & maybe they can help you talk with Spalding to get that much needed paperwork -the garage is Condemned until the city gets documentation that the meth lab is cleaned up -emphasized getting realtor advice -this should be in the VB Program (house remains a Cat 2 because the garage is Condemned) -I'll waive the VB fee for 90 days ____ Deny appeal but waive the VB fee for 90 days. Referred to the City Council due back on 2/13/2019 13 RLH VBR 19-3 Appeal of Anna Louise Kennen-Pitches to a Vacant Building Registration Notice at 884 WESTMINSTER STREET.

Mr. Pitches: we have a business together; she just started it up - wanted to get into flipping houses City of Saint Paul Page 10 Legislative Hearings Meeting Minutes - Action Only January 15, 2019 -we went through the process & looked at many places with realtors & found this occupied place that was up for sale; so, she decided that was the one she wanted to buy Ms. Pitches: I bought the property on Sep 21, 2018 and we were just going to do some light stuff but once I got in there, I decided to make it nicer; maybe I'll live there; I have a dog & there's a backyard; I live in a townhome now Mr. Pitches: I spoke to Tom Friel & he gave me details of the situation & what we had to do; on Dec 28, he said that the property was still, officially, registered in the name of the previous owner; then, I rang Racquel from here & she told me that the date was passed to put in an appeal; so, I came to see her & what I'm thinking is that the actual Notice for the VB was sent to the previous owner because we still hadn't rec'd anything -we plan to do quite a bit of work ourselves because we can't afford to just hire contractors -we feel like there was mistaken identity as far as the VB because we've had it for months & we're working on it so, we're not really sure why it was actually a VB Ms. Pitches: there's no debris in the yard; we took care of it all with the dumpsters Mr. Pitches: the small rehab has turned into quite a big project; it almost will be a brand new house once it's done Ms. Moermond: the title co at the table normally assumes responsibility for getting current info to the Recorders Office; now, Ramsey Co Taxation lists Louise David Investing LLC Mr. Pitches: that's us but we didn't receive anything from the City of St. Paul yet; Racquel gave me a copy -Mr. Friel said on Jan 2 or 3 that on a couple days previous to that he found that it had been registered in our name with the city; but we weren't aware of this until one of our friends did a drive-by, checking on the place & said that we had a sticker on the window Ms. Pitches: we had a TISH prior to the purchase & it did not say anything about a Cat 2 Ms. Moermond: provided some background on how the city code works in this case -staff found the house uninhabitable & empty when someone called in about the mess in the yard; so, staff referred it to the VB Program; they monitor the property & set a minimum benchmark for what the property needs repaired in order to be re-occupied; in this case, they are looking for you to have a code compliance inspection report prepared; that report will be the list for your contractors to address; provided an application for the CCI to the Pitches -you'll need a lockbox (on already) -I'd like to help you out with the fee for registering it as a VB -I can waive the VB fee for 90 days Mr. Pitches: we want the property on the market at the end of Feb; at the very latest, the first week in Mar Ms. Moermond: apply for that code compliance insp right away to get those inspectors in there because you won't be able to pull permits until you get that inspection report done City of Saint Paul Page 11 Legislative Hearings Meeting Minutes - Action Only January 15, 2019 -a 90 day fee waiver will buy you 3 months from Dec 13, 2018; if you aren't able to get your Certificate by Mar 13, 2019, we'll be talking about getting a bill for that $2000 & I'd expect you'd appeal that proposed assessment so we could work on prorating it down to the portion of the year that you were in the VB Program Mai Vang: the warning letter went out yesterday; it will say this bill hasn't been paid -the mail was going to Eden Prairie & Edina Ms. Moermond: Mr. Dornfeld has made a note of this hearing in the computer system, so you're fine ____ Deny the appeal but will waive the VB fee for 90 days.
