Photo By John Hoff, September 25, 2008Third Ward Minneapolis City Councilperson Diane Hofestede sent an email to a member of the Hawthorne Neighborhood Housing Committee, and naturally it was forwarded to a number of folks. According to...
...Hofestede, "both 2207 6th St. N. and 614 22nd Ave. N. have been placed on the CARE/Problem Property List and will be monitored." Hofestede says "A housing inspection was completed which resulted in issuing multiple violations. Housing inspector has ordered owner to remove junk and two inoperable vehicles by 11/7/08. Also, inspector ordered first floor and basement be cleaned by 11/15/08 and window repaired by 11/30/08."
In regard to 614 22nd Ave. N., "the house is in foreclosure, redemption period ends in December. Calls for service have subsided since the police were involved with 2207 6th St. N. No housing activity or complaints since March 2007."
By the way, for those interested, here is a fairly good link to a list of foreclosure data for Ward 3, Minneapolis which seems to get updated every month.
That statement by our council person kind of bothers me since it implies the Care Committee had something to do with the action taken at this property. As far as we've been able figure out, they didn't. Action finally occurred when our block club made the 4th Precinct contact we needed and forwarded all the info we had. The raid occurred a week later.
ReplyDeleteThe Care Committee has had this address for years, this address has been a problem for years, yet nothing occurred until now.
Have you noticed any work on this proeprty lately? It sold in May for $8500 to an investor, but no permits pulled for work yet. $8500 sale, but it is not condemend... it is magic!
