How did you do that email like inquiring on exactly what kind of scope of work they wanted and I hadn't received anything about that? But if I can get just kind of a scope of it, I can check with our maintenance and see exactly if that was done. Okay. I'd like the building commissioner to take a real good look at this photo and uh have them confirm what that is because there's there are standards you have to go by to remove that stuff. Okay. Okay.

Okay. You want to amend the motion to add something about the asbestous? of like an inspection for that from building commissioner. Okay. On that.

Next we have number 11, 800 South Liberty Street.

Good afternoon. Sean Brady, uh, 4218 Cornelius Avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana 46208. And are you the owner or representing the owner? I owner.

We were um reached out the fire department reached out to us um, uh, saying that there had been a fire on the structure and the awning was collapsing and on the verge of falling and hurting someone. So the um it would the fire was in the wood piles that are stored out back. Um working with we're also working with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management on this as well. Uh due to weather, we didn't get to start working on it until later uh in the 60-day period that we were given. Um we have removed 12.4 tons of material. I do have pictures kind of before and after of what we've been able to get to do. The awning, there was no fire on the building itself. The awning has a um um air conditioner unit on it that's kind of weighing it down. We're going to remove that, take the weight off of it. It should be fine. It's anchored into the concrete structure of the building, so I don't think that it would it would fall on its own. Um so, uh with that, I I would ask for I think we can get this done in 45 days. We've got we've gotten a lot already done uh to get the wood and debris taken care of. We've also removed three derelict vehicles that were on the property. So, we've gotten a lot a lot taken care of. So,

all right. Um is there a motion to affirm the rehab order and continue for 60 days, two months? So, moved. Second. All those in favor? I I All right. See you in couple months. Okay. Thanks. If um if we get it done before then just have the building commissioner come out and inspect. Yes. Yeah. And then you don't have to come back. Right. Right.

Um next we're going to move on to continue cases on the demo orders number 16 2604 East 16th Street. Um there is a couple emails and a building permit application in there that they um submitted yesterday. Okay. Hi. Name and mailing address for the record, please.

It's John and Robin Flowers, 17263 Nove Road, Hagerstown, Indiana 47326. So, there's a house, garage, and out building here. And you say you got a building permit for Actually, there's not an out building. There's a garage and a house. I think there might be confusing that with the other property. That's the house. This is the house.

That's the house. Okay. So, you got a bu a building permit. It looks apply for it. Okay. Looks pretty bad. It's It's going to take a little bit of work. A little bit. Okay. I'm going to look it up on the map so I can see where all the buildings are.

Um his his permit hasn't quite been approved yet. Um we're still needing a little bit more information. Trying to get on the same page about what's going to be done. Um, but he they do have plans to fix it up. Do you have a timeline? I I hadn't quite gotten an idea of how long you think everything would get started and um well, once the permit gets approved, but we we started closing up everything that we could um and getting it all secured.

Um and now that's why we're asking for the permit is uh so that way like the uh any of the the um the sheeting on the outsides that need um repaired cuz some of it's gotten water damage where it's swelled up. Um we're going to re, you know, go around the outside and get it all all secured up and then do the house wrap on it. The uh the front the uh there was a piece where the wind had tore up the metal roof. That's also has to be under the the permit. But right now, we want to work on the house first and then go back to the uh the garage. Yeah. Front to back.

Okay. So, the house is is uh better chance at, you know, being salvaged. The uh the garage in the back, uh we're still looking at that. We want to shore up shore it up. Um and uh also that's why we're getting the permit for that is to um see about uh the front the front of it. Uh we need to secure all that and the some of the raptors need to be replaced. So, you've owned this property since 2014. I did. Yeah. Okay. Um, so when you say they have a uh Are you think this place is salvageable?

They want to put the work and money into it. What's your timeline look like? How much time is it going to take you to get it in shape?

Um, I mean, right now, um, we're we're securing the outside of it. Um there's things on the inside that we need to get out. That's why we're going to get the the dumpster so that way, you know, it's hard to work around things. So, we're just clearing it out. Um I can tell you that, you know, doing the outside, um once I pull things off and I see it needs insulation, then I'm going to have to insulate. So, I mean, I can't really tell you how long it's going to take. And that's why I asked them about the the permit. It's going to have to kind of be one step at a time. So like six months, a year, year and a half.

I'm I'm hoping no more than a year. And what's your like what are you thinking budget-wise?

I can't tell you. I mean, I'm I'm just now getting into it. So uh and and what that's the other thing is right now I mean uh once we start tearing into everything um that's when you can find out what's what's under everything. you know, everything right now looks solid as far as the foundation um structure um like on the housewise, but um once we start tearing into it, that's when we would know what's you know if if it's even feasible to even go forward or just to stop. I want to give them 60 days to figure to evaluate the building and come back.

30. I mean, she's owned it for 11 years. Yeah. Yeah. With a plan and a timeline of what they expect to do.

Um, so if we have you come back in a month or so, you think you'll know more? Well, I mean, I've already taken days off to meet the inspectors and and and to do the things that I have now. I mean, you know, by coming in here in a month, that's taken away two of two days, you know, taken off to come here. Um, I mean, if we could get more time, that would be great. But, I mean, we've I mean, we right now we're we're uh you know, we took off and and started getting on on this. I mean, I wouldn't go I wouldn't start stepping forward on this if I didn't have, you know, the plans to go forward on it. So, you do have plans?

Yes. Okay. So, did they share the plans with you?

Um, we need to look over it, tear into it, see if we're going to try to finish doing rehab or it's going to turn into a demo. But at this point, we've not gotten that far into it to see how much money it's going to take. And yes, I have owned it since 2015. Um, it was my father's home. It was my childhood home and he turned it over to me. Unfortunately, you know, grief is a real thing. Mental health is a real thing. And I all my family has passed away. So, I am going through stuff in the house of four people that's passed away. And it's it's hard. It's been hard. So I apologize that yeah it's been since 2014 but you know I have had deaths since then as well and it is very hard but I am doing it. So can we go with 60 days?

I don't okay with 60. All right. Is there a motion to continue for 60 days and request a schedule and budget at that time? So moved. Second. All those in favor? I I All right. We'll see you in a couple months. Any opposed? I Okay. I would do 30, right? Sorry. It's okay. Next, we're going to call um number 18, 2007 South Elm Street.

Next we have number 20, 1135 South High Street. My name is Pam Harland. My mailing address is PO Box 75, Marcoville, Indiana 4656. All right. Looks like this house had a fire. It did. And it was tagged in October.

All right. She uh had been waiting on insurance to finish their investigation. And I did call the day before the last hearing. Mhm. Yeah. Mhm. Yeah. And what's the status with the insurance?

I I finally got a check that was right because they missed, you know, they missed a a letter on my last name and the bank wouldn't cash it. So, I've gotten that all taken care of. I went to Remax. I had a guy, this is a purchase agreement, and he called me an hour ago and cancelled because he said somebody on on the board or something wanted to try and buy it for 5,000. But I do have the information. I He could be lying. I no idea. I just know what he said an hour ago. But I do have the purchase agreement with me. But he it's not valid anymore because he's cancelling it.

He called an hour ago. All right. So, you have your insurance money. I do. You either need to tear it down or fix it. I'm going to fix it. You're going to what? Fix it. All right. What's your timeline look for that? Like for that? What I'm looking for right now is a contractor. Um it do you guys have a list of contractors that my allows or um as far as general contractors in the city limits we do not require them to be registered within the city. I mean general contractors have to be licensed with the state and go through that process, right?

Um but they don't have to be registered with our office. Um so we we do not have a list of registered general contractors. Okay. because in Anderson, you know, yeah, they have to be approved, but yeah, in the county they have to be approved, but in the city limits they don't. Um, so you can reach out to the county building commissioner's office and they may have a list. Um, I would just recommend googling, you know, local contractors and you can get a list and you can always call us for reference. Can I ask for questions? How much your insurance settlement was? 70,000. That'll be enough to fix it. That's what I'm hoping. Yeah.

That's a motion. Is there a second? Second. All those in favor? I I oppose. Same sign. Okay. See you in June. Thank you. Is that it? Um, they need to give you some papers. Yeah. The contractor need that and stuff. Um, next we have number 21, 2003 South Jefferson Street. There you go.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My name's Farah Webb. I'm representing Aquestto Brown. His address is 3526 South Walnut Street, Muny, 47302, probably. Um, and we're here on his property that he had purchased from the land bank. He has done the demo portion of it, and I do have pictures of that. um and started to lay the foundation and then JJC Excavating is a concrete company I'm assuming um said they wanted to wait until spring broke before they lay the rest of the found like they have like the edging done and then the whole inside of the house has to be poured. I don't

see I don't know what that's called, but um Jiren, I think that's the owner of JJC Excavating, said that uh it'd be best to wait until spring to do that because it's such a large area. Uh it's not just little, you know, like a step or something. It's half a house essentially. Okay. So, are there any permits?

Yeah, he has his he has his permits. He needs to update his building permit, which I've spoke to Courtney about that already and have the application. Um, he was just waiting until it came closer to time, which probably within the next, I don't know, 30 days or so, cuz spring is like what, March 22nd, April 22nd. Um, so he's had the building permit since for a year or more. Yeah. and he's taken down all of the walls and half of the h like the whole back of the house completely sunken in.

Um, did he get an inspection prior to the hearing? He not prior to this hearing. No, I check in monthly with Courtney and give her an update. Um, I do know that he has like a $150 fine uh for maybe not attending a hearing and that was maybe in December for January's here. That's for not getting an inspection. Okay. $150 for not getting an inspection. And that was because her and I were playing phone tag for like I think almost the whole last two weeks of December. Um, yeah. We Yeah, we couldn't

I think it might have been because of the holidays. All right. So, he has applied for his renewed permit. Yes or no? He has not applied for it yet. I do that. I mean, I want to take care of it. All right. And when is that going to happen? Um, well, I would say in the next couple weeks because like I said, J uh Jiren said he wanted to wait until spring to lay the foundation. So, he was just trying to get every day out of that building permit as possible. 60 days.

Sounds good. with an in. Okay. So, um I would entertain a motion for 60-day continuance and obtain a progress inspection prior to the hearing. So, you heard you have to call 10 days in advance, right? Oh, yeah. I would just email someone. Then you can show that you did that. Okay. Otherwise, you're going to get fined $150. Okay. Um is there any way we can wave that $150 that he owed? Because I did. No. No. Okay. Not yet. We're seeing No. Okay. We're just not giving you one this time because you were supposed to get one this time.

So that's your wave. That's your waiver. Okay. All right. Thank you. Have a good day. Uh did we vote? No. Um okay. We got a motion in a second. All those in favor signify by saying I. I oppose. Same sign. Okay. Motion carries. See you in a couple months. Next we have number 22 913 West Kilgore Avenue.

Hi, my name is Steve Slavven. I'm a realtor with Coldwell Banker Real Estate Group here in Muny. I represent the client that owns this 724 North Malbury, Yolanda Carabayo. She's been a client of mine for a number of years now. Um, she bought a number of homes five or six years ago. This one she bought for $10,000 uh at least five or six years ago. Unfortunately, she's had a slow go trying to get things done. She's had other priorities. I currently have her 1714 South Malberry across from the Boys and Girls Club now pending. That was a full remodel and it looks really good. It does. Um, she also sold that Luster home on Malbury, the steel manufacturer.

Uh, I've done one others of hers. Unfortunately, the winter has been really tough on her. She lives in Brooklyn. Um, she just has not had a chance to get over here and finish up what needs to be done. The roof has been replaced. There was a fire in a garage that was she wasn't familiar with and she's dealing with that and she paid someone $9,000 to have the sighting done and they took her money and left. So, she is asking for 90 days to get in compliance with um the current building codes and I think she'll make some good progress. She just needs some better weather. Don't we all? Yes.

Okay. company. Yeah, the house across from Boys and Girls Club is really nice. Thank you. Yeah, we got it. Ask what it sold for. Um, it's listed at 120, I believe. And it's come down a lot, hasn't it? It it No, I don't think it's down that much. I I think we're pretty close to that. Maybe a little, but not a lot. But it I think she got um that price or slightly less. Okay. Um I'm okay with 90 days. How many is she working on right now? You said she bought a number of properties at one time. She's only she's not necessarily working on anything right now other than this Malberry. This is her next project.

She's got another one just north of the one she did on Madison that's boarded up ready for something to happen. Okay. Um this is a single woman that really should not be doing this by herself. She needs I think she's been here before. She has. Yana. Yeah, I've met her a few times and worked with her on one of the houses that she did. Yeah, she she put off a little more than she probably should have years ago and and she's trying to get rid of them. All right. I know property looks cheap here compared to Brooklyn. Right. It does. That's I think what drew her here. Yes. Right. Um All right. I'm willing to go 90 days if you think she can show significant progress in that amount of time. Okay. And require an inspection prior to the hearing. Yep.

Which she needs to call 10 days in advance. So tell her to mark her calendar. Okay. Yep. I can do that. Okay. So moved. Second. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. I. I. Uh. Oppose. Same sign. Okay. We'll see her on June 11th. Thank you. Well, or you or someone. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Um, make sure you sign in and get uh the paper for the next hearing date with an inspection.

Mhm. Okay. Well, he we're not there yet. I mean, so the South Madison guy is here. He came in late and wanted to be called. Do you guys want to go ahead and call him or? Sure. We're just one below that, right? Okay, that's fine. Um, next we're going to call number 233705 South Madison Street.

Hi everyone. Uh, this is Raj Mishetti. Uh, I'm one of the partners for the the unit, the building. Uh, I I live in uh 14438 Camden Lane, Carmel, Indiana. Okay. Um, since last month, um, you have gotten the electrical turn back on. Um, so that's been repaired. Um, has there been any other updates or progress?

Yes. So, over last month, so we have, uh, our power back on. Uh and then uh we have also paid the invoice for clearing the uh the glass windows which are kind of broken by somebody and uh the we got we have ordered the parts the glass they have been uh reached our vendor the contractor it is scheduled to repair on 16th of March which is like next Monday.

So it it is scheduled to repair all the glasses and with the the two outstanding thing that we have is the roof repair. So we are working with the contractors now with the snowstorm everything cleared out and now the weather is getting better. The contractors are comfortable climbing the roof roof now and get the uh estimate and get that done. And the second thing is like there are some uh hbacks vandalized. We are working with insurance to see how can we uh get those compensated and also uh you know what do you say uh use the wooden things to you know secure them so it won't fall off. That's one thing. So these are the two major things that we have to do uh for us uh to you know to come back to where we were before. But we are making progress. We are kind of on online in the in the path to complete all the works that were planned.

Did you get a did you call for to schedule an an inspection before the hearing? Uh no, we did not. Okay.

Because uh the the actual work which was supposed to be done is scheduled for 16th. So we didn't want to you know them to waste the time. So for the next time we will once we have these works complete we will schedule an inspection. But we have like three more weeks because we have to schedule inspection 10 days before. So in a month it'll be only only have 3 days 3 weeks from now. Right? So uh that would be too short time for this month. So if you can give a 60-day time we will fix all those two issues and get the inspection and uh submit it before the hearing today. The um this electrical service inspection was what I was thinking would cover their inspection that they needed because

did they get electrical service inspection? Okay. Yeah. All right. And yeah, we had inspect it before a will come out and turn it on. Got it. All right. Okay. Yeah. And looked at the lots because there was uh people were dumping behind the building and in front of the building and everywhere. They still are. They've done it again. Yeah. The dumpster. Yeah. People are dumping. Yeah. I travel that road twice a day. Yeah. I'm always seeing cars backed up to it throwing stuff. Yes.

I mean uh we are not having a way to control that because you know uh and we we tried to remove the dumpster so people will be you know reasonable not to dump there and people are like still dumping on the empty parking lot. So I had to call the the dumpster companies okay we are not using it but still you know be nice to community right but still the community is taking leverage to the maximum. Mhm. Yeah. So somewhere that was there was cleaned up. It was the cleanest I've seen that lot in several years.

Have you done anything to put lights up in the parking lot? Yeah, that is electric that that's something which we are waiting for the electrician to figure out which meter. So one one complex thing is that uh we do not know which which so what is the source for the lights. So that is something you know it was broken when when the city was doing the front part right so those those light those power lines were broken at that time and they are they are trying to identify how to know secure that back and do it. So that is also there is also an effort to put the lights back on. That might help as a deterrent from dumping at night

if you get the parking lot lit up and even some behind the building. Uh you do have another issue in the front where we have the the grassy area now. You have a like a pond out front. There's water standing yet today. And I know that if that's not drained and tapered the ground, so it'll drain into the storm sewer, you're going to have infestation, mosquitoes and things of that nature coming very quickly. Last year we had I think cattails growing up out of it and that needs to be addressed as well.

Yes. So we we have we are we have we'll be doing landscaping uh very frequently now this year to not to have that situation and that water thing is not a kind of a pond but when we when we dig that area right the city when when the when they dig that area it they left it little bit uneven so we hope that once the uh grass comes starts coming in. So uh if it has to fill with some some sand or some dirt, we will we will have to procure that dirt and then level it up. That was supposed to be a green area. I mean but when there is no like you know uh when when the land is not leveled up and the rain coming in it is it'll try to come to a place and slowly it becomes like a small pond kind of thing.

We will have to level it up and see. Yeah, we will. I mean this summer we will once the uh winter once the winter is gone once we we know the complete once it completely leveled up we'll see if it is completely leveled up or if we have to put some dirt and level it up so we don't run into the same issue again next year when the when the rain start coming in because we had a very uh severe rain I think couple of days back right a very severe rain so that might be a reason for that one to but but we we will slowly we kind of you know once we get it get in get to the summer we will make sure it is addressed. What's your plan for tenants? Yeah. So tenants

have you been working on getting new tenants to come in?

Yeah. So we are we the Coldwell Banker. So we have a leasing uh agreement with them to show the properties but unfortunately I mean we haven't have had any showings but we are most like you know open for any kind of businesses at that time that I want to do business there in the south side of the city. So we have also from my side personally we have renovated one of the unit to open a pizza store. The renovation inside is complete. That's the last one which is 3853. The interior renovation is complete. We are trying to, you know, put some money in to procure the equipment to open a a decent uh piece of store to at least bring people to that space. But that isn't the plan that we are doing it from our side as a investors and the owners. But if to bring tenants, we are still open. We are giving like six months free rent and lowest possible rent in the town just to make sure the building is maintained right so we're not trying to look make money out of the tenants but still if it covers the building maintenance that would be great so yeah we are but unfortunately we are not seeing so many inquiries at least that I am aware of

okay um you want to go 60 an inspection So moved. Second. All those in favor of 60-day extension with an inspection ordered prior to the next hearing signify by saying I. I. I. Motion carries. We'll see you in May. May 14th. May 14th. May 14. Thank you so much. Thank you. She'll give you the paper for your next hearing date.

Yes. And and maybe for the next time, right? So maybe if we can uh my one of the request from our side is to see how can we together solve the problem of community people throwing trash in our property without our permission. Maybe if you have some other you know guidelines or instruction that we can put that will help us because you thought about putting up cameras. Uh I mean cameras there but you know yeah it's easier to have signs that say you have cameras and that dumping no dumping and you know put a bunch of signs. Yeah I did explore that the cost of putting cameras and monitoring cameras is more than maintaining a dumpster. Yeah. Unfortunately. Okay.

Right. So but thank you for Yeah. If you have something Thank you. Once people start dumping somewhere and they think they can get away from it. They just way they just keep going back. They just keep telling all their friends about it. Uh, next we have number 26, 1729 South Walnut Street. Good afternoon. I'm Robert Kruinski with the law firm of Cadillis Law. We represent the first mortgage holder, Wells Fargo Bank, and the pending foreclosure action against this property. So, it's in foreclosure, correct? You know it's burnt.

Uh, we are aware of that. The property was scheduled for share. This was actually set for a hearing back in January. Uh there was a pending sheriff sale on February 11th. Uh unfortunately for as the city's concerned and we're concerned, the sheriff said was canceled because there is a pending insurance claim and the bank is still waiting to find out what they're going to be paid if if they're going to be paid. Uh we were requested to postpone the sale date for at least 90 days. So that would just in the May 11th. We have not filed a new recipe because it's just timing matters. Uh we have to wait till we know we're going to be after May 11th before we can file the new recipe for sale. So, uh the status is it's in foreclosure and there's at some point going to be a sheriff sale possibly depending on what happens with an insurance claim that unfortunately I have no other information on other than it's pending and they're waiting for more information.

Has it been sealed? Excuse me. Yeah, it's it is I believe it's been boarded. Yes, it is. The bank did board it and remove some external debris according to what we were advised um

because they have I guess there were some there may have been a squatter issue in the property. The borrower is deceased so there was no heirs or anything taking care of it. So, uh the squatter issue delayed getting into it, securing it and getting the insurance claim filed. Uh the bank has it secured now. So, it is on their they're regularly inspecting it to make sure it stays secured. Um, we would request more time so we can get the insurance claim resolved and get to a share of sales so the bank can actually do something or if it's going to get sold, somebody else will have the property to do something with. I presume they will um the bank will mow it. Uh, I can make sure that they do maintain.

Yeah. Do you can you let Courtney know who the property you know who do are you already know who the prop the property management company is? the people that are taking care of it. I do not or nor do we. Unfortunately, banks are so segmented with this. We're dealing with forclosure department. I could try and get that information. Yeah, if you can try to get that, we'd appreciate it. I I could definitely try that. All right. So, you said May they wanted the sale after May 11th. So, they wanted a 90-day delay of the sale. So, uh we should be filing the new recipe for sale at some point here in the next week or two because that should drop us past May. Want to go out to June? Yeah. June 11th. June. Is it June 11th today? All right. Is there a motion to continue to June 11th? So moved.

Second. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. I. Those opposed, same sign. Okay. See someone on June 11th hopefully. Okay. And we will get that reservation. Thank you. Appreciate it. Um next we're going to go on to continued cases. The rehab orders. Um number 29 1801 West 17th Street. There you go.

You had some people here from the capitol building at Indianapolis and I don't live too far from the capital and I have family that works in the capital. So, they were here and I thought that city hall looked a little rough on the exterior. So, I left a message with your staff that I would bring my crew up here and we would power wash the outside of the main entrance. And that offer is still on, sir. Well, I appreciate that, but why don't you just take care of this property for us? Our city would appreciate that. Thank you. Have a good day.

No. No. the small group that was the they got on Valentine's Day. I I'm not there when they get the cars. They usually get them on the weekends and after hours. Right. I think what he's asking is if you have like photos showing that there's less cars in the lot. Oh, no. Um I can get them though and send them to you. Would you be opposed to me coming down and taking photographs?

No, that'd be fine. I I was going to recommend having an inspection so we could get see our eyes on it and get a photos as well. But if you want to join I get a lot of complaints from the neighborhood folks down there uh animals living in there uh in the abandoned cars that are sitting there and uh there we got a lady couple doors behind us too that has massive amounts of cats to deal with. There's a lot of them down in that area. All right. Is there a motion to continue for 30 days and require 40 more cars to be removed and uh an inspection prior to that hearing? So moved.

Second. Any discussion? You're not going to do it? And I' I'd like to give it to the city attorney to handle. I mean, this has been going on for a long time and they're not zoned to do what they're doing. That's how I feel. That's my opinion. So, did how is your licensing going? No change that you know of.

I think that's up to you guys. It's um in the very back. Yeah. I'm not standing because we're getting rid of cars and trying to get it cleaned up

so that we can do the shop. I mean, we work on cars. So, as long as we're cleaning them up and do not let it get the way it does, I'm don't understand. I think yeah the level of frustration I think has reached a high level. I feel like obviously for Rich is the zoning officer for the city of Muny and if he wants to move it forward he should. And for the record I generally affirm that. All right. What's next? Okay. I just wanted to show you guys this is the zoning letter.

They haven't received the money yet. So, I called the insurance company I went through that that I had and they said my grant was denied simply because I got switched over to Medicare at the first year.

I'm talking about like just a whole rehab. That's why I'm trying to get them to do or tear the house down and build a new house. Well, actually, the house just needs rehabitat. It's got good bones, good everything else. It's just the roof and some windows for ventil needs replaced. And everything else is is interior. which is cosmetic, which is what I'm working on. I am working with Habitat. They're supposed to help me put a new furnace in soon as I prove to them that my taxes is up to date. I've been talking to Ryan about that. Property taxes. Yeah. I'm just a couple hundred dollars behind.

Okay. I'm working on that, too, cuz like I said, I'm on disability. It's so much out of time. Okay. All right. Um, so you're you got your roof. What if we go out? When was my timeline with my disability? I'm hoping within 90 days I have enough material to start putting some type of roofing on top of the house. That's getting material built up. If I can count on some friends to help me start putting it up there cuz as you can tell, I physically can't walk. You keeping it mowed? Yeah, I got a friend of mine that mows it. It helps me maintain the yard.

Okay. Um 6090 90 90 days 90. All right. Is there a motion to continue for 90 days and request an inspection prior to the next hearing? So moved. Second. All those in favor? I. All right. We'll see you in June. One question. And since it is repair on a roof, where do I go to get the the uh permit to get it done? Third floor in the building commissioner's office. You need a permit for a roof? No, unless you're doing 40% structural. Yeah,

I ain't doing nothing structure. I'm just getting the shingles laid over. No, then just just have us come by just see what what kind of progress is being made. But you know, I didn't know if I have to have that's why I didn't know for sure. No. Yep. Okay. All right. Thank you. You're welcome. Oh, thank you very much.

So, it's a matter I'm going to get a couple more estimates and and put together. Got to get the stew prepared before they do that. But this I like that guy. I mean, he buys he uses Indiana shingles. I didn't know they were I guess it's south of Richmond. They they make them. So, but he did a you know the people. He did their roof. He did a he did they did a nice job. All right. So, you have two estimates. Yeah. Um brought them in. Are these old? The lesser is

So you're going to accept one of these uh quotes? I'm going to get a couple more, but I the the lesser one would be the honestly I was very surprised by the the other one. There's not that much square footage. We have a rubber roof on the top, the back board is like hot tar, so it's really just like the front, the garage, and two little two little strips. And that guy came up with that price. I was really I was very stunned. I mean, he was trying to justify it, but I was, you know. Um, so what about all this furniture that's in the front? It'll it'll be it'll be dealt with and the car and the bike and the other stuff in the back. Courtney, come come out. The bike I'm I'm trying to rehab for one of the international. Can it not fit in your garage?

I've got a lot of stuff in there. I'm trying to get that cart in there. That's what I want in there. So, I'm I'm I had stuff in there and then I had to pull stuff back out. You know, I'm trying to get stuff out of the house, not back into the house. the goal. No, all I can say is that we've been looking at the same stuff on the driveway in the back for months.

I got rid of the there were these big panels. They they they were a table and that was the the beast. They were really heavy. I got them out and I I give a compliment to the guy who came by. The guy who came by, I've seen him pick up I had six or seven of them and they're really heavy. They were water logged. I got them out. this guy who does the with the crane, he he uses it like a pair of tweezers. He's really I commend him because was MSD gonna is that what did they go out and help get rid of some stuff? We haven't um been able to reschedule a time to go out because when we first initially did the weather

if you'll give me till April 1st, I'll have her come out. I'll do it if there's anything that that we can't agree on and set an appointment to go. But I just the weather's you know I thought the week before I would get it. It was rained all week. And how long is it going to take you to get two more roof quotes? I don't know that I'm getting four quotes, but Well, you said you were going to get more quotes. You've got two. Yeah, I I've got two. I just want to see if I can do do a little better. I'll It'll be in, you know, relatively short order. I want There's There's Can you define that? Two weeks.

Two weeks. I mean, I've got to put the money together. The money isn't together yet, but I mean, it it believe me, it'll happen this summer. It needs to have it. We've got to resolve some stuff familywise. And that's, you know, I wanted this done years ago. I just couldn't pay 10 grand a month and do all the housing, you know, the long-term care bills that are numbered. By the grace of God, I had a very good position was able to to meet that expense, but I can't couldn't do it all and and couldn't get agreement from, you know, the other people. So that's, you know, the the situation, but the money will be to get it'll be done. It'll be done this summer. I can guarantee that. I can't say how early it's going to be done, but early summer. The goal is to get the garage painted

Um, since I've lived there, I've shued people out of the stairs underneath. I've called in security checks on people breaking into the stairs that it leads up to into the top section of that apartment.
