Third Making finding on the appealed substantial abatement ordered for 733 FAIRVIEW AVENUE NORTH in Council File RLH RR 24-8.
Body
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted RLH RR 24-8 on March 27, 2024 which granted an extension of 90 days to repair the structure, correct all of the deficiencies listed in the agreement between Building Official and owner at 733 Fairview Avenue North below:
1.The range hood vent is a 600 CFM exhaust appliance. It must be installed per manufacture’s recommendations with make-up air or be removed with an appliance that is 300 CFM or smaller.
2.The ductwork will need to be inspected with the requirement that the interior is sprayed the interior with an approved sealant; or a contractor must scope the ductwork for inspection.
3.There is a new deck installed which was not part of the scope of work under the building permit (scope of work under the building permit was for the team, code compliance list). Therefore, the decking will need to be removed to inspect the structure.
4.The owner agrees to have the plumbing contractor contact the plumbing inspector and schedule an on-site inspection to generate a list of requirements/deficiencies/items needing to be completed under a plumbing permit. Note, the plumbing inspector contacted the plumbing contractor, Mr. Maison Plumbing and Drain LLC, who applied for a plumbing permit for a shower and told him that the scope of work for a shower is not reflective of what needs to be completed. The contractor in turn told the plumbing inspector to reject the plumbing permit and that the plumbing contractor would get back to the plumbing inspector.
5. An electrical final inspection still needs to be performed; and
WHEREAS, the Legislative Hearing Officer reviewed this case on July 9, 2024, to determine if the owner and/or responsible party abated the nuisance conditions and found these conditions were not abated and requiring an additional $5,000 performance deposit be posted; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Saint Paul City Council adopts the findings and recommendation of the legislative hearing officer that the nuisance condition is not abated but will grant additional time, if performance deposit is posted.
