Title

Appeal of Zoe Zhi, American Medical Research, to a Vacant Building Registration Notice at 1082 EUCLID STREET.

 

Date/Time of 1st LH:  Tuesday, August 9, 2022, teleconference between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.

Purpose of Appeal:  The owner has been trying to evict the tenants since Feb. 2022.  After 4 court hearings, the tenants are still in the house.  The next trial is scheduled to be 8/19.  The tenants have not cooperated with City inspections, but the court referee Katheryn Bergstrom has given the tenants excuses to stay in the home for months.  We know the building is not vacant; therefore, should not pay the VB fee.  We would love to take over the property if the court allows us to.

Date of Order(s) Under Appeal:  July 20, 2022

Inspector/Key Staff:  James Hoffman

Legislative Hearing Staff Comments:  Cat 1 opened 7/19/22 due to not being able to gain access; 6 appt letters sent (2/14, 3/8, 3/25, 4/12, 5/13 & 6/23/22) NOTE: Lot split from 1084 Euclid.  New PIN to be assigned.
