Re: Notice of Violation—OPH Ordinance 1109—Tall Grass& 1302—Standing Dead Trees
15405 57th St. N.,OPH (#03.029.20.24.0043)
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hayes:
The vacant lot, owned by you, at 15405 57th St. N., in Oak Park Heights requires maintenance. We
have spoken in the past as to the need for regular mowing and weed maintenance. At this time the
yard area is over grown and needs to be mowed.
Additionally,the trees adjacent to the neighboring property fence line, now appear to be dead as does
another along the 57th St. roadway side of the yard. These need to be removed or otherwise abated.
You may wish to contact the City Arborist, Lisa Danielson to see what options might be available for
abatement,outside of removal.Xcel Energy may assist you with those near the powerlines.
The unmaintained lawn, in its current state, is considered a public nuisance per City Nuisance
Ordinance 1109 and the standing dead trees also a nuisance per City Ordinance 1302.05.6. A copy of
both of these ordinances are enclosed for your reference.
This letter serves as the City's request that the lawn be mowed and weeds be treated and/or removed
prior to Friday,July 8, 2022 and that the yard continue to be maintained on a regular basis. And, also
that the dead trees be removed or otherwise abated as per City Arborist Danielson direction prior to
Monday,July 25,2022.
Thank you for your prompt attention to these matters. Please contact me with any questions you may
have.
Sincerely,
PLANNING &CODE ENFORCEMENT
