Legislative Hearing Minutes 5/3/2011
Asia Original, tenant, appeared.
Ms. Moermond noted that this is a tax assessment is for Excessive Consumption. When the inspector has to go out a certain number of times, they start charging for the extra trips.
Mr. Joe Yannarelly, the Department of Safety and Inspections (DSI), reported that the snow Work Order was sent out on December 21, 2010 with a compliance date of December 24, 2010. Upon re-inspection on December 27, 2010, it was found in non-compliance. A Work Order was issued. The work crew went out there on December 30, 2010 and noted that it had been done by the owner. The cost is $50 with a service charge of $20 for a total of $70; the Excessive Consumption charge is based on the fact that it wasn't done upon re-inspection. He added that there is not a lot of history on this property.
Ms. Original stated that she had shoveled the walk; however, the work crew said that it had been done too narrowly. It was supposed to be wide enough so that a wheel chair could navigate through it. Ms. Original said that she was not aware that it needed to be shoveled so wide. She has lived there for two (2) years and she doesn't have extra money to pay for the assessment.
Ms. Moermond stated that Ms. Original had made a good faith effort; she will recommend that the assessment be deleted.
