. . To: Everett City Council From: Marian Dent, Housing Inspector Date: November 5, 1964 Subject: History of 6719 Highland Drive 7/19/79 - A complaint was received regarding the poor conditions of the structure and concern for the occupant, Dan Robbins. Complainant indicated that Mrs. Johnston, sister of Dan Robbins, is supposed to be taking care of Dan and the property. 7/20/79 - An external inspection was conducted. Noted were broken windows and doors, wood rot and structural deterioration. The premises was overgrown with vegetation. 8/27/79 - After several attempts to call Mrs. Johnston and her failure to return my calls, a certified letter, return receipt requested, was sent to her requesting her to respond within ten days. 9/4/79 - Mrs. Johnston called and said as soon as possible she was going to move Dan into another home and sell the property. She did not feel that the house was worth rehabilitating. 1/24/80 - A neighbor called with great concern for Dan's safety and welfare because she and her daughter had noticed flames in his huuse early in the morning. They did not call the F�re Department because the flames quickly subsided. I advised the neighbor co call the Fire Department if smoke or flames were ever seen again in Dan's house. I called Mrs. Johnston and informed her of what has been happening and requested that I make an inspection of the interior of the house. She said she wanted to go in the house before she would allow me into it. 1/25/80 - There had been no cooperation from the family of Dan. Therefore, I started to research the possibility of �SHS or Snohomish County Mental Health being able to assist in caring for Dan so that some- thing could be done to improve his living conditions. 6/29/81 - I found out the water had been turned off at the house. Apparently the plumbing inside has been destroyed and there were leaks so the water was turned off. I talked with Mrs. Johnston about the lack of sanitary facilities and she said she would look into it. She pays Dan's utility bills. � z a � � m -i � ..� cn x m 0 c o m o c-� -� c o� m _ -Z-i m .. .o z n --i r x --i v� s T O .� -n a -� m x m� c� � v r c� m c tn :� z� �m a A � S a z -i � � z 0 -{ n m
