RE: Oak Park Heights Demand for Code Compliance re: 5869 Oldfield Avenue N.
Dear Ms. Kirschner:
I am following up on my code enforcement letter of April 19, 2023 and our exchange of emails
in mid-May 2023. Some six weeks ago, you confirmed that your client, the P.R. of the Estate,
was taking steps necessary to get the collapsed garage on the above-noted Property demolished
and the debris cleaned up. As of today,per the enclosed current photo, this has not occurred.
To make matters worse, we understand that in the spring your client had someone local who
regularly mowed the lawn at the Property. In recent weeks,however, that has stopped and the
lawn is now badly overgrown. This is not acceptable and also constitutes an additional code
violation on the Property. A current photo of the yard is also enclosed for reference.
These code violations on the Property must be immediately remedied, otherwise the City will
intend to take prompt action against the Estate, including but not limited to commencing legal
action to empower the City to abate the nuisances and code violations and assess all costs against
the Property, including administrative costs, attorneys' fees and court costs in addition to any
contractor fees.
We expect forward progress by the Estate within the next week. Please advise ASAP.
Sincerely,
/s/Xuiia S.Sway tram
Kevin S. Sandstrom, City Attorney
