fair comment and criticism, information in the image caption is not current
A source inside city government pointed this blogger to a recent Regulatory Services committee meeting (April Fools Day, 2014) which revoked the rental license of Steve Meldahl at a 3111 Upton Ave. N.
Here are City of Minneapolis links to two documents concerning the revocation, click here and also here.
Meldahl's empire is already on the ropes (see yesterday's article) but the burning question is how will a Chapter 11 bankruptcy "reorganize" Meldahl's empire if Meldahl loses another rental license? JNS blog thinks...
...(off the top of my head) two rental licenses lost within a year will mean the complete loss of all rental licenses, but I have fired off the question in search of a more definitive answer. Don't take that number I just threw out there as gospel.
This is a developing situation (which is why I'm hitting the PUBLISH button before I have that piece of information, above) but one thing is for sure: the fate of at least 85 Northside properties is up in the air. Already the question is being asked: What will happen to those properties? What will happen to the RENTERS? How will the City of Minneapolis assure a good fate for those properties instead of just falling into the hands of an even worse slumlord?
