LEGISLATIVE HEARING DISCUSSION ITEM  
Ratifying the Appealed Special Tax Assessment for property at 586  
39  
BURGESS STREET. (File No. VB2501, Assessment No. 258800)  
Laid over to March 26, 2025 to give time to examine a potential 7-year payment and  
apply to various organizations for assistance.  
Tom Novak, owner, appeared in person  
Marcia Moermond, Legislative Hearing Officer: This item is to ratify a vacant building  
fee as an assessment. The cost comes to $5,077. This has been in the vacant  
building program since 2020, after a fire. The owner has had several vacant building  
fees over the years. The situation was complicated by the fact that he was  
underinsured for the repair cost after the fire, which was common at the start of the  
pandemic when repair materials and labor costs were higher. He’s found himself with a  
lot of costs and the insurance money is gone. The fee is intended to partially cover the  
costs of the vacant building program. The permit situation is messy. The electrical  
permit is finaled, while remaining permits are open or expired. We made a referral to  
the Department of Planning of Economic Development, NeighborWorks, and the  
District 6 North End Neighborhood Organization for assistance.  
Council President Jalali: Could you clarify your recommendation?  
Moermond: To approve the assessment and spread it out over 5 years.  
Councilmember Bowie: Is there an expiration for how long a property can be in the  
vacant building program?  
Moermond: No. sometimes they stay for 20 years. We try to problem-solve things  
before they get too deep in. This is one of the circumstances where things have been  
complicated. The City did perform the service. I believe real estate and financial advice  
is due by a 3rd party, in the interest of the owner.  
Bowie: If the vacant building fee is not paid, it will be assessed on prop taxes. Do you  
know how much is remaining for previous 2 years.  
Moermond: Previous years’ assessments have been certified to the 2025 property tax  
statement. I don’t have that number in front of me. What’s called a confession of  
judgement, effectively a payment plan, can be arranged if need be. That can be dealt  
with outside this process.  
Tom Novak: I am the owner and am no longer allowed to reside there. When the  
pandemic started, it was difficult to get contractors. I got permits right away, which was  
a mistake on my part. I didn’t realize they expired. Things with contractors were  
difficult. I had contractors steal money and work not get done. Shoddy work was done  
as well. It’s enclosed and needs interior work, but there’s no money. Insurance offered  
$139,000. Restoration Professionals gave me a $380,000 estimate. I couldn’t afford  
that and had to do a lot myself. It got to the point where the insurance money was  
spent and there’s still a long way to go. The fees are cost prohibitive. My monthly  
house payment is almost $3,000 per month. I can’t see the City’s justification for  
charging me same as Sears or CVS for their vacant buildings. There should be a  
distinction. I’m still working and taking money out of retirement to make payments. I  
make too much for public assistance. The 5-year payment helps, but after spending  
$10,000-15,000 on these fees, I’m not seeing what I’m getting for my money.  
Jalali: So, you appreciate the 5 years, but what is your ask?  
Novak (from the audience): To not have assessments go into the future.  
Moermond: To summarize his comments, since he was not on the microphone, he  
stated that the tax assessments already imposed are significant, and that continued  
assessments would be a hardship. I don’t have reports on the other assessments. He  
also said he wants to keep going on with this property but hasn’t had any help. He also  
noted that he’s working second job to help pay for everything.  
Bowie moved to close the public hearing. Approved 7-0.  
Bowie: It sounds like an issue of affordability. My recommendation is to extend  
payments over 7 years. I also want to hear back on how NeighborWorks and other  
organizations have helped or not helped, and have that info provided to Moermond. If  
he can get his permits this year, are there circumstances for waiving the assessment?  
Jalali: So you want to extend payment over 7 years and try to find more resources?  
Bowie: And to see if we can waive the fee if work is completed.  
Moermond: I would suggest laying this over to the 4th meeting in March. The 7-year  
period needs to be looked at, as 5 years may be the maximum. For permits, there  
need to be resources to get the work done when applying for them, and those aren’t  
present right now. A layover allows us to come back to you with a report on  
applications that have been made for assitance. If that isn’t possible, we could look at  
other options.  
Bowie: I appreciate that recommendation for more time. I move to lay this over to the  
end of March.  
Moermond: That would be March 26.  
Jalali: I agree that bigger actors should pay a bigger fee. We know we need to deal  
with that.  
Public hearing closed and laid over to March 26, 2025  
Appeal of Tamer Azzazi, T & M Properties, to a Notice of Condemnation-Unfit  
for Human Habitation-Order to Vacate at 722 SIXTH STREET EAST.  
55  
Appeal denied. Property condemned and ordered vacated. Vacant building fee waived  
for 90 days upon registration.  
Tamer Azzazi, owner, appeared in person  
Marcia Moermond, Legislative Hearing Officer: This item is only about the order to  
vacate. The vacant building registration was paused upon receiving this appeal. The  
building was condemned and ordered vacated based on structural conditions and the  
water being turned off. This is also an empty building. These characteristics would  
suggest Category 2 vacant building status to be appropriate. There has been no  
interior inspection. There has been significant damage to the front porch. Photos  
before you show how it has failed. You can see damage to the windows as well, along  
with exterior storage of construction materials. The property has not been inhabited at  
least since last February, as that’s when the water was turned off. The copper pipes  
were stolen and have not been replaced. The damage from the water pipe theft has not  
been inspected. During the legislative hearing, the owner talked about a building  
permit to do repairs on front porch. My understanding is that approval of the permit was  
pending and then there was a stop work order, possibly because of it being sent into  
the vacant building program with category 2 status. This status would require a code  
compliance inspection and report before any permits are pulled. I believe that allowing  
or not allowing that while that registration is pending is at the discretion of the building  
official. I recommend denial of the appeal and that the property be vacated. If this  
goes into vacant building program, I recommend it be considered a category 2 vacant  
building and be granted 90-day waiver to allow time for inspection and rehab to begin  
and allow possible reduction of that vacant building fee depending on when the rehab  
is completed.  
Tamer Azzazi: I have owned this property since December 4, 2024. The porch was  
intact on Thanksgiving. My son went to the property and saw that a column looked  
loose. The next day, we propped up the porch using steel beams. In the process of  
lifting it, the porch fell apart. We then planned to file a permit to build a new deck. I  
was planning on doing that Monday, but then (medical information), so I pulled the  
permit on Wednesday. That’s when Inspector Chute issued a vacant building  
suggestion, even though we notified him Sunday night that I would not be available  
Monday. He said I should contact Vacant Building Supervisor Matt Dornfeld if I wanted  
to stop that. I left him a message and left Chute a message. I met Dornfeld that  
Wednesday and he said I should file an appeal. We intended to pull the permit then  
and have the work done by now. The property does have running water. We had theft in  
February 2024 when people stole copper pipes. This was intended to be a house for  
my son. After the collapse of the porch he told me he was no longer interested in the  
property and I took it over. We have been told to stop work until this meeting, which  
has halted things since early December. We’ve had materials on site this whole time to  
complete the project. Pending completion of the deck, I was going to file for general  
permit for a complete remodel of the house, but can’t because of this pending vacant  
building status.  
Council President Jalali: What would you like from us?  
Azzazi: For this to not be considered a vacant building. This whole process stalled  
things. I could have been done within 30 days.  
Councilmember Noecker: Where do you live?  
Azzazi: Inver Grove Heights.  
Noecker: Your son owned the property before you took ownership, right?  
Azzazi: Yes, since 2022. He started moving his things in and the house was fully  
functional. While he was out of town, people broke in to steal the copper. We just got  
broken into again before new year’s eve, and people stole tools in garage.  
Councilmember Johnson: What is your understanding of what needs to be done to  
reoccupy the property? Is this for you to live in or rent?  
Azzazi: Neither. This was originally going to be for me, so my son could take my  
current house and I could downsize. He just moved back from Alaska and bought  
place in Oakdale. It will probably be used for my daughter. If it became a rental…I’ve  
had rentals in St. Paul since 1999.  
Johnson: So, the intent is to have this be occupied?  
Azzazi: My mom lives half the year in Egypt and the other half of the year here.  
Johnson: What is your understanding of needed permits and what you need to do?  
Azzazi: For permits, we just need them for the porch and the plumbing. The house  
was previously a fully occupied duplex. All electrical is up to code. Everything else is  
cosmetic. Also, because it is designated as a historic area, we did have to file an  
application with the Historic Preservation Commission. This has all resulted in delays.  
We could have just been done with this.  
Johnson: An email was sent from neighbors that I want to make sure noted for the  
record.  
Johnson moved to close the public hearing. Approved 7-0.  
Johnson: Could you clarify what is needed, Moermond? He said permits would be for  
the porch, cosmetic issues, and plumbing.  
Moermond: I just heard from him that plumbing work was done and water is running. A  
permit for that was not pulled and this needs to be investigated. That gives me pause  
as to the owner’s understanding about what is needed. If this is registered as a  
Category 2 vacant building, which I believe it meets the definition, it would need a code  
compliance inspection and report that would give a list of needed fixes.  
Johnson: Your recommendation is to deny the appeal?  
Moermond: Yes.  
Johnson: I want to make sure owner understands what is needed, and there may be a  
discrepancy. Regardless of who lives there, the quality of the property is important.  
Going through the permitting process is important. I don’t see anything to warrant  
granting the appeal. I move Moermond’s recommendation.
