April 17, 2012 <br />To: Bob Ruprecht <br />Building Official, City of Elk River <br />Dear Mr. Ruprecht, <br />This letter is a follow up to the inspection you did of our residence on or about April 11, 2012. We want <br />some kind of action done with the situation. We have provided you with pictures of different things that <br />we believe are unsafe. You stated in our last conversation that because we have an eviction hearing <br />that you don't want to proceed with this until you know whether we have to move or not. We believe <br />that should not have any bearing an this situation. This residence needs to be repaired before someone <br />gets hurt, after all there are children living in the lower unit of this residence. <br />Some of the situations that need to be dealt with are as follows: <br />1. The electrical outlets that are not installed correctly <br />2. The light at top of stairs where wiring is hanging down <br />3. Pipes from shower leaking on electrical and into lower unit (landlord placed a towel to soak up <br />any water that leaks) <br />4. Rear door that does not latch or lock properly <br />5. Tree growing under foundation by front door <br />6. Stairs to back door (not stable) <br />7. Hot water heater (strong odor) <br />8. Floor in front entrance (spongy and unsafe) <br />9. Front outside stairs (separating from foundation due to tree) <br />10. Fire barriers (per your information) <br />11. No insulation around windows <br />12. No storm windows (used $500.00 of propane for heat in 2 % months) <br />We would like to have these situations as well as any others that you may have found during your <br />inspection dealt with as soon as possible. Per landlord tenant rights book put out by the Attorney <br />General office Minnesota law states that landlords must keep rental property fit to live and in good <br />repair. <br />Sincerely, <br />a <br />Lori & Richard Kinney <br />9754 % Viking Blvd, Elk River MN 55330 <br />612-849-4689 or 612-418-9436 <br />
