LEGISLATIVE HEARING DISCUSSION ITEM  
Appeal of Lakeisha Lee to a Vacant Building Registration Requirement at 273  
40  
COTTAGE AVENUE WEST. (Public hearing continued to June 26, 2024  
Legislative Hearing)  
Vacant building fee waived for 90 days to August 23, 2024 and permits are allowed to  
be issued once the Code Compliance Inspection Report is issued.  
Also in attendance: Lakeisha Lee, appellant, appeared in person  
Marcia Moermond, Legislative Hearing Officer: You heard the vacate order on this in  
May and it was referred to the Vacant Building Program. This is an appeal of the  
requirement to register for that program. The appeal asked for assistance with the fee  
and reoccupying the property. My recommendation is waive the fee until August 23,  
2024, require that the building get a Code Compliance Inspection Report (CCIR), and  
require the items found on there to be addressed prior to reoccupation. We discussed  
on a few occasions that the bill doesn’t need to be paid when the waiver expires. The  
owner can let it go to assessment and payment over time can be discussed.  
Lakeisha Lee: I wanted to make you aware that I have a claim open with Allstate. My  
house has been insured for damage but I've been told no on numerous occasions  
regarding my claims. I have not been told no on this current claim. I have an estimate  
of $1,425 for repair for my roof. My family is still displaced. It’s hard to get help  
repairing the home when I’m not living in it. Since we had to vacate, my house has  
been broken into twice.  
Council President Jalali: It sounds like you will have a 90-day waiver on the fee. Are  
you supportive of that and does that make sense to you?  
Lee: Yes. I need as much time as I can get.  
Councilmember Kim moved to close the public hearing. Approved 6-0.  
Kim: I appreciate the work on this and move approval of Moermond’s recommendation.

Ratifying the Appealed Special Tax Assessment for property at 187 SEVENTH  
PLACE EAST. (File No. VB2408, Assessment No. 248807)  
55  
Assessment ratified and prorated to cover 7 months.  
Also in attendance: Greg Sofie, appellant, appeared via call-in.  
Marcia Moermond, Legislative Hearing Officer: This is a tax assessment for one year in  
the Vacant Building Program from August 5, 2023 – August 4, 2024. It left the program  
in March and my recommendation is to prorate the fee to cover 7 months. That  
reduces the amount from $5,000 to $3,400, aproximately. The owner was granted the  
benefit of waivers on the fee in 2022 and 2023. The last fee was waived for 8 months  
of the year and this current one had a waiver from August through December 31.  
These waivers were granted by the Department of Safety and Inspections' (DSI) staff  
outside of their authority within Legislative Code. The building permit is the issue of  
contention for the owner, who says that if they had been able to get the inspection  
done earlier they could have been out of the program back in December. In checking  
the building permit file, on January 9, 2024 a final inspection did find needed  
corrections and a further inspection was needed. That took place in March. There was  
also an argument from the owner that the waiver should have still been in place then.  
My recommendation is not to waive but rather to pro-rate the fee.  
Sofie: I've put hundreds of thousands of dollars into the building. This was an eyesore  
that we beautified. This took us a while to get done. The City said they would waive the  
fee if we got it done by the end of the year. Building was complete by mid-December,  
but we couldn't get an inspector to come out. Everything was fine when they came out  
in January. Just some issues with a mirror and a microwave. We did what the City told  
us and completed it by the end of the year. The delay is the City’s fault.  
Councilmember Noecker moved to close the public hearing. Approved 6-0.  
Noecker: Our policy is more stringent than what Moermond is proposing. We don't  
usually pro-rate fees beyond 6 months. The applicant also received 2 years of waivers.  
I apologize for any miscommunication during this process. I move approval of  
Moermond’s recommendation.
