River <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />Ju~ 3, 2001 <br /> <br />129xxx Meadowvale Rd - After posting this property as "uninhabitable" the owners returned to town and have <br />since sold the property. <br /> <br />214xx Meadowvale Rd- This house was posted as uninhabitable and the owner was to appear in court on June <br />12th. StaffI have not heard from the County Attorney as of this date and at this time, we do not know if the <br />owner pled guilty or not. A re-inspection was done on the property on June 11th' and the conditions were still <br />deplorable. The occupant was again informed that there was to be no occupancy until the home was made <br />livable and we no longer had health or safety concerns for any occupants. On July 3rd I returned to the home <br />and it has now been satisfactorily cleaned up. I will be contacting the County Attorney's office to inform them <br />of our findings. <br /> <br />112xx-205th Ave NW -This has been an ongoing case and very difficult for the owner and staff. The property <br />has huge amounts of debris, junk cars and general nuisance violations since last year. The husband has been <br />very cooperative and has been trying to get things cleaned up. We are hoping to get compliance without court <br />intervention, but that may be unavoidable in the near future. <br /> <br />97xx Viking Blvd.This was a rental property (duplex) that staff received a phone call from one of the tenants. <br />After an initial inspection, we found the structure to be unsafe for occupancy and had the tenants vacate the <br />duplex. The dept. sent a letter outlining all required repairs to the listed owner of record and requested they <br />contact us. We received one letter of response from them and up until Friday, June 15th, staffhad no further <br />communication from them. We met with the owner on Tuesday the 19th and she informed us the house would <br />be put up for sale on Contract for Deed. Cliff Skogstad and myself informed her that structural and safety <br />repairs would need to be made before occupancy by anyone under our ordinance regarding "sub-standard" <br />buildings. She assured us that she was going to inform the new owners of all repairs required. <br /> <br />4xx Irving Ave NW- After numerous letters, a police officer was sent to the property to issue a citation to the <br />owner to appear in court. The officer stated, "They are in the process of filing bankruptcy" and have had other <br />problems so no citation was issued. They were to clean up within the week and it has now been over a month, <br />and there is no change. In the past years, other staff members have issued orders on this property. A citation <br />will be issued and a court appearance seems the only solution at this time. <br /> <br />Phone: 763.441.7420 <br />Fax: 763.441.7425 <br /> <br />www. ci.elk-rivermn.us <br /> <br /> <br />
