Re: 5944 & 5948 Oakgreen Ave. N.—Foundation Repair/Lift Work
Dear Property Owners:
Innovative Basement Authority has pulled work permits for foundation repair/lift work at your
home to address settlement issues and to lift and/or stabilize the foundations at 5944 and 5948
Oakgreen Ave. N.
During the first weeks of August, Innovative Basement Authority commenced work at 5948
Oakgreen Ave. N., wherein they encountered a significant amount of water, which they had to
repeatedly pump out, during the process of their work in attempting to stabilize and lift the
foundation. The contractor was directed to cease any further work on August 13`h to allow
investigation into where the water is coming from.
As there was not regular rain events during the period of the contractor's work, the City has a
concern as to what is occurring to cause this repeated water collection? To both protect your
safety and those nearby the City would like to know the source of the water that required regular
removal pumping while they work and what has been done to correct that. If nothing has been
done, the source needs to be determined and corrected to protect the stability of your foundations
and any repair work undertaken to them.
Kindly contact me to discuss the situation with your properties.
Sincerely,
PLANNING & CODE ENFORCEMENT
