RE: Oak Park Heights Demand for Code Compliance re: 6398 Osman Avenue N.
Dear Ms. Evans:
Please be advised that the Eckberg Lammers Law Firm serves as the City Attorney for Oak Park
Heights("City"). We are contacting you due to your ongoing code violations at your property
located at 6398 Osman Avenue North, Oak Park Heights, Minnesota("Property"). We are
copying the attorneys for your mortgage holder as well,because we understand that the Property
is subject to pending foreclosure proceedings being undertaken by that law firm.
The City has received complaints about the condition of your property. Multiple nuisances as
defined in Minnesota Statute 617.81 and City Code Chapter 1109 are being maintained on your
property. The nuisances maintained include: Pod's Storage Unit at the Property in the street right
of way for an extended period of time,waste bags in the yard of the Property, and other junk and
debris scattered throughout the Property. The City Building Official has attempted to obtain
compliance from you on multiple occasions,to no avail.
Be advised that under the City's Code and the Minnesota Residential Building Code the keeping
of the conditions noted above are considered to be nuisances and hazardous conditions that must
be immediately abated.
The nuisances on the Property must be abated from the property on or before May 19,2023
(within 30 days of service of the notice). Failure to abate the nuisances on the Property will no
doubt result in the City directing us to file a lawsuit for relief in district court that could,among
other remedies, include an Order allowing the City to enter the Property and remove the
offending violations and assess you for all costs that result, including attorney's fees and court
costs.
