No new applications have been received. 2. Please review the enclosed memo from the building official related to the property at 5627 Peabody Ave which outlines that the home—utilized as a rental property is not safe to inhabit.(Not all images are enclosed herein-due to size).The City attorney is reviewing the matter as well and we expect this matter to be placed before the Council in January for possible a consideration of an order to either repair these issues or raze the home.MAP below shows the location. 3. The City did respond to a request related to the use of a property in the EAST OAKS development for a 4-person group home with a single-family residence. Please see the enclosed letter dated 12127/18. In short, except for extreme or unusual circumstances the City cannot prohibit such a proposed use as these are generally exempted from local land-use regulations by the State.(These uses are afforded certain protections similar to RLUIPA(Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act)so as to assure that there are properties that are available for these people who may need aid/assistance) Other Items • LVC Security Company is expected to start work on the City Hall Security System updates on Jan 7m.Below is a planned schedule from LVC. However,considering that there are always things that pop-up I would expect that the work would take a bit longer.Our concern is solid completion and function and not time-critical,(although we expect it done in 4-5 weeks). L 1-7 thru 1-16:Will be Majority Wire Pulling. First day a walk-thru with Techs. dd. 1-16 thru 1-25: Will be installing Equipment/initial Programming.

Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 Phone:651.439.4439 Fax:651.439.0574 Memo To: Eric Johnson,City Administrator From: Julie Hultman, Building Official Date: December 27,2018 Re: Condition of Rental Property @ 5627 Perkins Ave. N. On 12/7/18 there were two fire incidents at the property. OPH PD notified me of concerns observed as to safety at the property when called to the incidents, with regard to the electrical and mechanical systems. I contacted the home owner, Steve Berres by phone. Advising him of the situation, I requested that he contact licensed electrical and mechanical contractors and have the systems inspected for safety and that he would be required to address life safety issues identified by both. Mr. Berres did contact O'Neill Electric and Apollo Heating & Air Conditioning to inspect and evaluate the systems. Both agencies visited the home on 12/27/18 and follow up with their written evaluation/recommendations to the City and also contacted Mr. Berres with their findings. See attached reports in Exhibit A to this memo. On 12/11/18, 1 visited the home and was permitted entrance from Lisa Kroska, who resides at the home with Michael Hull. I was escorted through each of the three floor and given permission to photo the interior as well as the exterior of the home at the time of my visit. Photos from the visit are attached within Exhibit B. The house shows significant disrepair, due to neglect and shoddy work at some point in time to various parts of the house. There is settling of the house, that is observable at the upper level bathroom door frame, where it has come apart as the floor area appears to be dropping. There are a number of jacks and wooden members situated throughout the basement that appear to be in place to support the floor above or cover holes. Remodeling has been done without permits, including a bathroom remodel in the master bedroom at the upper level,which has had plumbing issues resulting in water flowing through the floor and into a closet area at the main floor. Photos show the work and damaged area, which has been boarded over at the closet ceiling. of Oak Park Heights 14158 Oak Park Blvd. N. Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 Phone:651.439.4439 Fax:651.439.0574 The siding has holes in it and several areas around the home where pieces are pulled away from the house. The roof is in disrepair. There are no gutters. Window frames are in poor condition, with peeling of paint at the wood and windows having been installed to existing openings at some time and sealed with foam. We did not visit the attic; however, given the condition of the house exterior, it is likely that there is moisture intrusion. There is non-code compliant electrical work, including open and exposed wires at the electrical panel, plumbing piping, improper venting of appliances (of incident on 12/7/18)was the dryer exhaust not being vented to the outside and blowing into the wall cavity. The floor vent in the kitchen produced smoke while a load of laundry was in the dryer and was found to be connected to the furnace. Both O'Neill Electric and Apollo Heating& Air noted significant repair needed to ensure the safety of the home to the electrical and mechanical systems. It is my opinion that this property is not safe to inhabit and that repairs are needed to the electrical, plumbing, mechanical systems as well as to the roof, siding and interior elements so that safe systems and structural elements are in place. I would further note that the structural elements should be reviewed by a structural engineer and repaired per his/her findings. In lieu of the repairs, my recommendation would be that the house be torn down. Mr. Berres has owned this property for many years, once residing there himself. The property has been a rental property for a number of years. The current occupants advised me that he has offered it as a rent to own and recently offered to sell it to them outright. There have been three permits issued to this property since 1971. The most recent being a residing permit from February of 1990. None of these to the current homeowner. &jh$4 A Julie Hultman From: Daniel O'Neill <daniel@oneillelectricmn.com> Sent: Friday, December 7, 2018 3:38 PM To: Julie Hultman Subject: Perkins ave Attachments: Perkins Ave quote..pdf Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Hey Julie. Attached is the quote I wrote for the owner of the 5627 Perkins Ave N. home. Each section has an explanation of the hazardous condition written in red. I'll let know what his response is to the proposal. He should probably be reminded that a property owner cannot do electrical work in a home that he owns if he is not the primary occupant of the property. There was a lot of really bad electrical work done there. Like I explained on the phone the condition that caused the smoke was the refrigerator it self and not the integrity of the wiring or wiring devices in the home. However of course everything listed in my quote will need to be fixed in order to make the property safe the residents(in my opinion). Daniel R.
