1661 Stanbridge 10-31-01 Update 1. What is the time frame from abatement hearing to: . Completed correction. o Will begin construction within one week o Completion normally would take approximately 2 months but due to weather, some items may require completion in spring, including: Painting. Draining pool. . Assessment of costs. o Assessments of this type are assessed to taxes in this fall of each year at a council meeting. 2. What is the court process to get into the house if we need to and how much time will that add to the process? . If we take the roof off and find structural problems that necessitate entering the house it would require covering the structure with a tarp (such as roofers typically do for rain) and requesting entry from a Ramsey County court judge. Roseville's City Attorney has completed preliminary work in this regard and could go to court in a matter of days. However, there is no guarantee of entry. Running into this problem is considered remote as in the unlikely event of required truss repair, this could be completed from the roof without entering the structure. 3. Could we simply condemn the house? · No, the house does not fall under the definition of an unsafe structure, however, continued neglect of needed maintenance could render the home as 'unsafe' in the future. 4. Why must we go through an abatement hearing a second time? Was the first hearing inadequate? Are there more house damages? . This is being brought back to Council because of the issue of residing vs. repainting. The cost of repainting is significant, however, because ofthe deteriorated condition of the siding, repainting will not last. Residing would be more cost effective for the owner. Looking for Council direction on this Issue. . There are not 'more' house damages other than the deterioration of the structure has continued. next page 1
