Legislative Hearing Notes
Joseph Costa appeared.
Vacant Building fee
Inspector Yannarelly reported that it looks as though this fee should have been waived at the end of August 2010. The Vacant Building file was closed at the end of August 2010; he is confused as to why it's before LH. Ms. Moermond noted that it looks as though there may have been a temporary waiver so that the sale could happen.
Mr. Costa explained that he got a Purchase Agreement in November 2010; it is scheduled to close at the end of February 2011 but that's subject to change again. The building needs a total renovation, so a lot of work has been done with the City. Many inspections and tests, trying to get the City to give the OK. There has been a lot of hold-ups. The building is still vacant. He'll pay what he owes but he doesn't think it's fair that he be charged the interest on it.
Ms. Moermond noted that the anniversary date on the vacant building is June 29. She recommended that the Vacant Building file be re-opened and that the $135 processing fee be deleted from the assessment.
