Title
Appeal of Robert Silbaugh, on behalf of Renovo Properties, LLC, to a Vacant Building Registration Notice at 956 DAYTON AVENUE.
Purpose of Appeal
The property at 956 Dayton Avenue has been designated as vacant. Renovo Properties, LLC is the holder of the Sheriff's Certificate of Sale And Foreclosure Record (See attached). We have secured the property and have it inspected regularly. Our intent is to repair or sell the home as soon as we take title, but we are not allowed to do anything other than secure the property until the end of the foreclosure redepmtion period ending 6/21/2014. We have done everything under good faith and in our power under Minnesota Statute 582 more specifically 582.031 to protect the property from vandalism and further disrepair. We have no power to occupy the building or see that it is occupied by a renter and we will ultimately be the one's hit with the Vacant Building fee once we take title. We please ask that the fee for Vacant Building Registration be waived because of the undue hardship it would cause us when we take full ownership and attempt to remedy the vacancy.
