Re: Water Heater & Construction Work
Dear Pat:
I was at your neighbors for an inspection and notice that you had a hot water heater sitting in your back
yard and also that it looks like some work may have been done to your deck. A couple of things:
1). No permits for work of any kind have been applied for and issued to your home since 2009.
The City of Oak Park Heights has adopted MN Codes and by such adoption we are required
to secure permits and inspect per their regulations. If a contractor is doing work for you, they are
required to have a MN State contractor license or a local City of Oak Park Heights license,
depending upon their trade.
Water heater installation/replacement and deck alterations would require a work permit from the
City. No permits for work have been received by the City since 2009.
2). The water heater in your back yard needs to be removed and can be placed out for collection by
your trash hauler. This is included as part of your trash service and the unit will be collected on
your regular trash day; however, you do need to contact Mary or Jennifer at City Hall 651-439-
4439 to schedule the pick-up of the unit, no later than Tuesday morning the week that you wish to
have it picked up. The trash service has a different truck that collects these, so the pick-up needs
to be scheduled so that they can get it on the route for collection.
Schedule pick up with City Hall and have it collected by the trash hauler prior to the end of
December, 2020.
Give a call, if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
PLANING & CODE ENFORCEMENT
