Riaka Benvea, property manager, S & H Home LLC, appeared.
Inspector Essling reported that the assessment for 353 Cook Avenue East is for snow and ice on the public sidewalk. The letter was mailed January 3, 2011 with a compliance date of January 6, 2011. It was re-inspected January 6, 2011 and found to be in noncompliance. A Work Order was sent to Parks and the work was done January 10, 2011 at a cost of $160 plus $140 service charge for a total of $300. The letter was sent to S & H Home LLC, Princeton Avenue, Minneapolis and Occupant.
Ms. Benvea stated that the tenant is responsible for snow removal. There was a burglary in the house and the tenant left the house without notifying them. So, no one shoveled.
They viewed the video.
Ms. Moermond stated that even though the tenant had moved, it's the owner's responsibility to make sure that the sidewalk is cleared. Any arrangement with the tenant is a private arrangement. The City will hold the owner responsible. The City notified the owner and the work wasn't done so, the City did the work.
Ms. Moermond will recommend approving this assessment.
