Inspector Essling reported that the assessment for 528 Como Avenue is for snow removal from the public sidewalk. A letter was mailed to Patrick Her and Bellazia Her on Edgemount Street in Maplewood and the Occupant on December 24, 2010 with a compliance date of December 27, 2010. It was re-inspected on December 29, 2010 and found to be in non-compliance. A Work Order was sent to Parks and the work was done on December 30, 2010 at a cost of $160 with a service charge of $140 for a total of $300.
Ms. Her explained that she is appealing this because during the month of December, she and her husband had a new baby on the 15th and it passed away, so they had so very many things going on. In addition, her grandfather passed away on December 29, 2010. She believes that she got the second Notice, not the first; or perhaps, they just weren't able to catch up with the mail because of her baby passing. She and her husband are very responsible landlords but with all that going on, they missed it. They live in Baldwin, WI. The tenant, they daughter, Brenda Her, is supposed to take care of the shoveling. Their daughter goes to school and works.
They viewed the video being opened by the City.
Ms. Moermond will recommend deleting the assessment. She stated that Ms. Her needs to change her address with Ramsey County (266-1000) and to call Maynard Vinge, DSI, 266-9057.
