CITATIONS
W143 56958 Belmont Drive (Radtke)
Mr. Radtke was scheduled for trial on February 16 and he had met
in my office with the Assistant City Attorney, Rick Trindl, and
Judge Lenz. Inasmuch as this had been his second ticket, and his
failure to completely clean up his yard, we were prepared to go to
trial. Mr. Radtke had stated that the remaining items would be
cleaned up and the reason they were not cleaned up is that they
were frozen in the ground. However, he would have those cleaned
up shortly. We have been making weekly inspections and the cas
was adjourned until March 23. At that time, Judge Lenz informed
Mr. Radtke that he would favor whatever the city requested such as
a fine.
W151 57762 Mystic Drive
An inspection was made on February 16 with Leigh Peterson, the
trustee for the estate. It was to be her initial appearance in
court and she stated that she would do whatever is necessary to
conform to the ordinance. The case was adjourned until March 23.
The inspection showed that the sink and the upstairs kitchen had
been removed but there still remained a stove and microwave oven.
A letter was sent to Rick Trindl regarding that inspection and a
copy was forwarded to Leigh Peterson. She then called the office
and stated that the room would be converted back to a bedroom by
March 23 and that she would arrange for an inspection prior to
that time. I have heard from the tenant and she stated it would
take her about two weeks to convert the room and that she would be
calling me for an inspection when it was completed.
W187 57825 Janesville Road (Benson Oil Co.)
I have discussed this matter with Assistant City Attorney Rick
Trindl who has been in contact with U.S. Oil, the representative
for Benson Oil. There still has not been a request for or
issuance of a permit to remove the underground tanks. This case
is due to go back to court on March 23.
W182 58450 Racine Avenue (Apt. owned by M. Heise)
The owner of the apartment building, Mike Heise, was issued a
citation regarding failure as the owner to comply with a letter
regarding the tenant's door under Chapter 19 - The Minimum Housing
Code. This was done after direction from the City Attorney as to
how to proceed to answer the complaint of the tenants regarding
their inability to get the necessary corrections made to their
rental unit. Mr. Heise called our office today and stated that
1P the door was fixed. An inspection will be made today to verify
this.
