Dear Ms. Vang:
As I have written in all of my correspondence regarding the issues at 5431 Ojibway Avenue North, THE DECK IS
UNSAFE AND THE PORCH STRUCTURE IS QUESTIONABLE. The deadline date of December 10, 2011 is still in place,
but the City is willing to accept the following:
1) Posts are to be put in place to properly support the beams supporting the structures;
2) The area below both the deck and porch are to be closed off with a fence or other suitable continuous
barrier having a minimum height of four feet;
3) The door to the porch is to be secured so as not to permit access;
4) All posted 'DO NOT ENTER DECK STRUCTURE IS UNSAFE' signs are to remain in place;
5) Your contractor is to make application for a building permit, and upon the issuance, construction work for
the repairs may start;
6) The contractor is responsible for calling for inspections as noted on the permit.
Please note that the City has adopted the Minnesota State Building Code to ensure the safety of the general public
with the construction of building structures that meet the requirements of the Code. Violations to this Code shall
be subject to penalties as prescribed by law.
The City will grant an extension for final corrections to be made no later than May 1, 2012, as noted in previous
letters dated October 7, 2011 and November 30, 2011 provided the fencing/barriers remain in place. Please
contact me if you have any further questions.
