LEGISLATIVE HEARING DISCUSSION ITEMS

Appeal of Sumeya Mohamed to a Rent Stabilization Determination at 200

RLH RSA 24-4

WINTHROP STREET SOUTH, APT. 313. (Amended to grant the appeal)

Appeal granted.

Also in attendance:

Sumeya Mohamed, appellant

James Poradek, Housing Justice Center, attorney representing the appellant

Abbie Hanson, Housing Justice Center, attorney representing the appellant

Nhia Vang, Legislative Hearing Officer: This is an appeal of Sumeya Mohamed to a

Rent Stabilization Determination at 200 Winthrop Street, Apartment 313. It is only for

her unit. This first came to the attention of the Department of Safety and Inspections

(DSI) on January 2, 2023 through an application from the owners, G&I X Phoenix

Apartments, LLC, to increase rent for vacated units in the amount of 8% plus inflation

according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Cheron Eich and Jason Wood were

acting on behalf of the property when they met with staff from January through May,

2023. The representatives ultimately sought a request for staff determination for an

exception to the City's 3% rent cap. The increases were listed as being related to

unavoidable increases in operating expenses and a capital improvement project to

upgrade the entire property. On May 25, 2023, DSI granted approval of the rent

increase at various percentages between 26.48% and 80.61%, depending on the

unit. Apartment 313 was approved for a 26.48% increase, allowing a maximum rent

of $1,823.84 per month. This was based entirely on net operating income, and not at

all on renovations. As part of this determination, the Fire Certificate of Occupancy

(FCO) was considered. It was approved in February 2023 as a Class A property.

Some complaints were related to a mouse infestation, a fire alarm issue, rodents,

flooring, broken glass, and garbage on the property. According to staff, all issues had

been remedied or were in the process of being remedied at the time of the appeal

hearing. The appeal was received in July 2023 and the hearing took place in August

10, 2023. Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond received confirmation during

the hearing that the appeal applies only to Apt. 313, and that the appellant did not

have the authority to act on behalf of other tenants in the building. Several concerns

were raised in the hearing, including lead, asbestos, and habitability. On July 1, 2024,

the appellant vacated the unit. Moermond was notified of the move by Jason Wood

from the management company. After conferred with the City Attorney's Office (CAO)

Moermond's recommendation was then to dismiss the appeal, as the appellant no

longer had legal standing. From August 2023 to August 2024, supplemental materials

continued to be sent to Moermond and were fully examined. I recognize that this

process has taken a long time and want to note the factors that affected the

development of Moermond's recommendation. One was that the appellant and her

representative sent numerous documents. 44 were received in total, amounting to

over 1,700 pages. Not all documents were submitted at the same time. Some were

received today. All documents were fully examined and reviewed. Another reason for

the delay was that Moermond was on medical leave during this period and only

recently returned to full-time work. There were also staffing changes during this

period. While the documents from the applicant and her attorney are concerning,

those issues have not yet been adjudicated. The applicant did not experience any

monetary damages, as the rent was not increased while the matter was under

appeal.

Sumeya Mohamed: I had lived in Saint Paul since 2007. We never wanted to leave

but this situation caused us so much anxiety that we had to move. It's frustrating that

our moving is being used as an excuse to deny the appeal. We applied for this

appeal not just for one unit, but on behalf of all the tenants in Haven of Battle Creek.

Tenants have had several meetings with DSI where they heard concerns, so it's

frustrating that the rent increase is being granted. It seems like this process has just

been put in place to relieve you of guilt, even though you will side with the landlords. I

don't understand what the process is for.

James Poradek: Mohamed filed a complaint that laid out the asbestos violation

issues in February of 2023 before the appeal was filed. We never heard back from

DSI about it.

Council President Jalali: You're saying that a separate complaint was submitted

about asbestos and code violations unrelated to rent?

Poradek: Yes. When she talked about an unfair process, it begins way back then. To

also correct things, the building is from 1976, not 1988. The capital improvements

that include building-wide renovations of common areas were included in the rent

increase, according to an internal document. It was over 10% of the rent increase.

Also, regardless of the standing issue, there is an obligation for the City to not grant

approval of a rent increase when there are habitability violations, which exists in

ordinance. That cannot be deviated from. The record contains uncontested evidence

of asbestos violations, which we go into at great length in four expert reports we've

submitted. These reports have not been rebutted. From a data request we saw DSI

Director Wiese recognizing the severe risk of doing these kind of renovations when

there's asbestos. A document from 2021 says that every surface of the property is

covered in potential asbestos-containing material because of how old the building is,

and that it should not be disturbed without testing. I have slides to pass out as well.

The landlord also has an affirmative displacement strategy. Internal documents

discussing the renovations in 2021 say that the interior upgrades will allow them to

"drive rents and improve the renter profile." They're trying to get rid of the community

that developed there for years, including 100 Section 8 vouchers.

Jalali: What is your ask?

Poradek: To deny the rent increase outright due to habitability violations.

Jalali: To grant your appeal or deny Moermond's recommendation?

Poradek: Grant our appeal. I will ask staff to pass out my slides.

Councilmember Kim moved to close the public hearing. Approved 7-0.

Councilmember Johnson: I move to grant the appeal. I don't agree with the Hearing

Officer's recommendation about the reason for dismissal.

Councilmember Noecker: I support that motion. The City had knowledge of these

habitability violations prior to the appeal, so we should deny any request for a rent

increase.

Councilmember Yang: What happens if the appeal is granted?

Theresa Skarda, Deputy City Attorney: This unit would either be subject to the

increase allowed under the Rent Stabilization Ordinance or not, if there is an

exception laid out in there. It could also be appealed to the Court of Appeals as

arbitrary and capricious, and that court could render an opinion.

Yang: Does work still need to be done for the unit to be habitable?

Skarda: I don't know about the state of the unit.

Yang: I would like that information.

Jalali: It doesn't look like that information is available.

Yang: What body would this issue move to if the appeal is granted?

Johnson: It would only move to a different body if our decision is appealed in court.

I'd actually like to call the question and have a roll call vote.

Jalali: We still have people in line for discussion.

Councilmember Bowie: Could we get clarification on if the appeal only affects this

tenant for this unit?

Jalali: The City has partial vacancy decontrol. If your property owner wants to vacate

a unit and raise the rent, they can only do that if they give written notice to the renter

and one of the defined just causes for vacancy. Then they are allowed to lawfully

vacate that unit and potentially increase the rent. That separate part of the ordinance

is not subject to who's living there. What we're deciding on today is whether to grant

the appeal of a tenant who was appealing a rent increase to her unit. I don't think this

rent increase should be allowed.

Skarda: My understanding is that this appeal is for this tenant and this unit only.

However, there are other methods under the ordinance that allow rent to be

increased.

Noecker: Should we be continuing discussion if a question was called? I just want to

clarify.

Jalali: Everyone needs a chance to be heard first. Some councilmembers haven't

spoken yet.

Kim: I had the same question. My understanding is that discussion can still happen

after that.

Jalali: I still wanted to speak. I support this appeal and Johnson's motion. I have the

exact concern that the appellant is raising about the habitability. A rent increase

violates our ordinance that this should not take place where there are documented

health and safety issues. I also don't think the inordinate amount of time it took for

this appeal and the relocation of a tenant are a basis for dismissal when the City was

responsible for that delay. If the renter moved out two weeks after appealing, it would

be different.

Yang: Do we have an update on if there is an answer to my question about

habitability.

Jalali: Hearing Officer Vang, do we have an answer to that?

Vang: I have not heard back from staff on that. I apologize.

Yang: I support Johnson's motion.

Johnson: I echo the basis that Jalali laid out. I think there will be continued

conversation about this ordinance going forward. I renew my motion to grant the

appeal.
