Inspector Essling reported that the assessment for 687 Cottage Avenue East is for failure to store the trash container in the rear of the building and not in the street. The Order was sent November 5, 2010 with a compliance date of November 11, 2010. The Order stated that the container could not be stored in the City right-of-way unless it is the day of pick-up. It must be stored in the back or side of house at all times. It was re-checked and found to be still in the street. A $50 Excessive Consumption fee plus a service charge of $20 for a total of $70 was charged for non-compliance. A photo was introduced. The Correction Notice was sent to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Company, Occupant and MSP Investments.
Ms. Trotter stated that they didn't purchase the house until December 29, 2010. At the time of closing, no mention was made of this assessment.
Mr. Essling stated that the inspector's notes are not very clear. On the initial inspection, he notes, "Container in front of house; not sure what pick-up day is." Upon reinspection, he doesn't indicate that he has checked to determine the pick-up day. He recommends deleting this assessment.
