I have lived here more than 25 years, and in recent years high numbers of homes near mine have been bought up by slum landlords, who are not held accountable by the St Paul Dept. of Safety and Inspections (DSI) to live up to their legal obligations to maintain the properties as required by ordinance. When young couples have bought homes in my neighborhood, they quickly regret their decision and sell, in order to move to neighborhoods in which the homes and properties are adequately maintained. I have received hundreds if not thousands of offers through the mail and over the phone to purchase my home, by investment companies seeking homes to buy as rental properties. This ordinance will be extremely harmful to the neighborhoods, such as mine, which are in a state of decline due to the greed and negligence of DSI, which only cares about collecting fees but does not care a whit about their responsibilities to residents. -2
