Re: Construction Materials & Work Permit Requirements
Dear Mr. Heuer:
I was in your neighborhood this morning and noticed from the street, that you have a fair amount of
construction material placed to the interior of your garage. Additionally, there is a waste hauler bag
at your front yard, near the curb, that has construction material within in it—plywood, brick, similar.
City Ordinance does not allow outside storage of such materials. This bag has been in place for some
time and is to be removed no later than March 3, 2017.
Based on these observations, it appears that there is remodeling work in process at your residence.
I'm writing to inform you that City of Oak Park Heights Ordinance has adopted the Minnesota State
Building Code (including plumbing) and by its reference the International Residential, Mechanical,
Fuel Gas and Fire Code.
The adoption of these codes does require inspections to new construction and remodeling projects
(ie: siding, windows, additions, etc.). Residential contractors and Plumbers are required by the State
of Minnesota to have a State license to perform work within the State of Minnesota.
The last permit I have on file for this property was issued in 2015 for a re-roofing project. I have not
been contacted for a work permit for any remodeling work to your home. Remodeling work without
a permit and subsequent inspection is a violation of City Ordinance and State Law.
Please give me a call or email me, to let me know what work is occurring so that we can discuss
permit needs, if any and to discuss any problem with the removal of the outside storage of the waste
bag.
I appreciate your prompt response and look forward to talking with you.
i rel.
