Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): The 783 Hague Ave property should be paid by the Avon Row Condo Association and the bill should be sent to 781 Hague Ave. However, the property owner is getting billed at 783 Hague Ave. Property owner has called Republic Services to resolve the issue and has not been able to get this issue resolved.
Staff Comments: Hauler records show that the mailing address for 783 Hague Ave was updated to 781 Hague Ave starting in Quarter 2 2022. Currently the account is set up for electronic billing and all invoices are being sent to the following email address: gary@garydavidkeast.com. In addition, staff verified that the notices of nonpayment for Quarter 2 2022 were sent to the following address: Avon Row Assn, 781 Hague Ave, Saint Paul, MN 55104. Therefore staff recommends approval of the assessment. It should be noted that hauler records show that the mailing address for 781 Ave Hague is currently listed as 783 Hague, which may have caused confusion.
