r"� �_.� 2209 Fulton St Memo Oct 20, 1994 Page 2 material. I noted that he had placed a tarp over the roof, had placed tires on it and ded it down in places. I talked with the tenants and explained the situaGon to them. I also advised them that they may need to move out on Monday if the situation worsened with any rain over the weekend. Then I called the owners and asked when the work would continue. The owner could not give me any date of conGnuing but indicated that it would be soon. I informed the owner that the building may be vacated if these conditions aze not remedied within the next few days. Oct. 13, 1994 Throughout this past week, I condnued to check with the tenants to insure their safety and continued to call the owner. TodaY, the owner came into the office and wanted to obtain a bwlding permit. The plans examiner advised the owner that the plans submitted on 9-30-94 for repair of the roof were insufficient and more information was needed. At 11:30 PM I received a call from someone identifying himself as the contractor who gave up on the job Oct. 7th. He said all the tenants were at his place, rain water was coming out c+f the electrical outlets xnd there was standing water in the units. He stated that he was "going to sue the owner of the property and the city for not doing anything with this problem, and he was going to have the news media at the site at 10:00 AM in the morning. I advised him to call the Building Officixl tomorrow as I was off work that day. Oct. 14, 1994 I called the Building Official today and advised him of the threatening phone call last night. I also advised the Building Official that this was the contractor who removed all the roofing materials and placed a tarp over the roof, quit the job and now he wants us to take immediate action against the owner. Oct. 17, 1994 The Building Official said that he talked with the tenants on Friday (Oct. 14) and they indicated that they were moving out. I inspectecl the site and noted that the places looked vacated for the most part. There were animals still on the property and some items in the kitchens. The tarp was still in place over the units. I proceeded to post the places "NOTICE" "Illegal to Occupy". I called the office and adv�sed them if the tenan!s should cal! w�th any questions about the "NOTICE", they could enter the building to remove their belongings but they could not live in the building anymore.
