Re: Refrigerator at Front Yard of 14651 62nd St. N.
Dear Mr. Smith:
The City has received a complaint about a refrigerator that has been sitting in your front yard for
some time. I was by on August 28th and observed the refrigerator at the yard area. Our City
Clerk also attempted to reach you and left a voice mail in effort to find out if your intention was
to have it disposed of, so that she could coordinate collection by the City's sanitation service. As
of today, she has not heard back from anyone and we have received an additional complaint as to
the unit.
Please be advised that as it sits, the refrigerator is considered a public nuisance as per City
Nuisance Ordinance 1109. A copy of this ordinance is enclosed for your reference.
I also attempted to reach you by phone today, and left you a voice message. Please give a call
back asap, but no later than Friday, September 21st. If I hear from you by the 17th, that you do
wish to dispose of the refrigerator, I will arrange for it to be picked up that week.
If I have not heard from you by the 21st, I will do a compliance check. If I find the unit is still
upon the yard area, I will arrange for the unit to be collected by the sanitation company. There is
no charge for the collection of the unit.
If you wish to retain the refrigerator for some reason, it does need to be removed from the yard
area and placed to your home, garage or some other location that is not your yard area by the
21st of September.
I hope to talk with you soon.
Sincerely,
' NNING & CODE ENFORCEMENT
