85 technician. Indeed, City staff has expended hundreds of professional hours at the site 86 throughout the pandemic, leaving little excuse for G & G Management’s failure to employ the required 87 professional assistance required by the Council resolution. 88 89 Finally, staff review of the application for reinstatement has uncovered a new, but significant, 90 concern. Asearch of Ramsey Countyproperty records has revealed that“roseville mn apartments llc 91 LLC” (sic) and “rsr management LLC” (sic) are now listed as the owners of record for the property 92 at 1740 Marion Street. (Attachment E)Accordingto the Minnesota Secretary of State, these entities 93 were originally filed for incorporation on November 29, 2019, and January 28, 2020, respectfully. G 94 & G Management has never communicated this ownership transfer to the City and filed the 95 application for reinstatement in its own name as the property owner. Roseville City Code 908.03.F 96 specifically states that multi-family rental licenses are not transferrable and that new owners must 97 apply for a new license within 30 days of the property transfer. Given the circumstances surrounding 98 Council action on the property shortly before the incorporation of these new entities and apparent 99 ownership transfer, the failure of G & G Management to communicate this transaction to the City is 100 particularly troubling. In any event, this issue pushes the subject property even further out of code 101 compliance. 102 103 Upon all of the foregoing, therefore, staffrecommends denial of the reinstatement of the multifamily 104 rental license for the property located at 1740 Marion Street. 105 106 1. Property has continued violations as noted in inspector reports. 107 2. G & G Management has not acquired the needed certifications of in-house staff, or employed 108 a certified residential maintenance technician or certified residential manager. 109 3. G & G Management has not had a demonstrated period of compliance with terms of Section 110 908.7 as required by City Council Resolution. Staff believes based on history of property 111 maintenance issues at this location and with current management,a period of at least six 112 months of continued compliance would be necessary to provide city staff a level of comfort 113 in recommending license reinstatement. 114 115 F INANCIAL I MPACTS 116 There are no direct financial impacts to the city. 117 S TAFF R ECOMMENDATION 118 Staff recommends denial of the applicationfor rental license reinstatement dated June 1, 2020 for 119 property located at 1740 Marion Street in Roseville, Minnesota, based on the findings of facts: 120 121 1.
