Comments: Pete Stein contacted Ms. Vang stating he is the owner of the vacant lot of 2299 Valentine Avenue and he did cleared his walks but received notice of the assessment. Ms. Vang contacted Real Estate Offices ("RE") and per RE staff, there was only one PIN number at the time of Legislative Hearing hearing date set up. PIN number was issued to 2360 Como Ave. During April 2014, lot got split which created two pin numbers. Inspector Seeley watched the video of the clean up and indicated that the Valentine property was clear of snow and ice but not the property at 2360 Como. This was review by the Legislative Hearing Officer and she recommended that based upon review of the video, the assessment should be approved for 2360 Como Avenue and delete the assessment for 2299 Valentine Avenue, PIN No. 20-29-23-42-0122.
