Body
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted RLH RR 20-44 on April 7, 2021 which granted 180 days to repair the structure, correct all of the deficiencies listed in the Order to Abate Nuisance Building and the Code Compliance Report at 854 Edmund Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the Legislative Hearing Officer reviewed this case on October 12 and October 26, 2021 to determine if the owner and/or responsible party abated the nuisance conditions and found these conditions were not abated and the project was determined to be approximately 75% complete by the 180-day deadline established by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the Legislative Hearing Officer recommends that the City Council continue the current $5,000 performance deposit (rather than forfeit for non-compliance) and grant an additional 180 days to complete the rehabilitation if the following conditions are met by October 22, 2021:
2. provide an updated scope of work / sworn construction statement indicating the contractors, bids and schedule of the work
3. provide an updated documentation of financial capacity to complete the rehabilitation
WHEREAS, all conditions have been met as of October 26, 2021; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Saint Paul City Council adopts the finding of the legislative hearing officer that the nuisance condition is not abated, but will grant an additional 180 days to complete the nuisance abatement.
