Dear Mr. Alston:
A recheck of our files indicate that you have not yet initiated action
to render the structure located at North 3624 Ella Road safe and
including the clean-up of fire debris.
On February 13, 1985 you were mailed a certified letter to the North
Ella address advising you of the code requirements and requesting
action within 15 days. The return receipt was signed by Bob Ross - a
copy of this letter is enclosed .
Due to the unsafe conditions, we are requesting that immediate action
be taken. Failure to take appropriate action within seven (7 ) days
from the receipt of this letter will result in this matter being
forwarded to the Prosecuting Attorney's office for appropriate legal
action to cause the structure to be removed pursuant to Section
3.02.050, Title 3.
Please be advised that costs of such work shall be paid and levied as
a special assessment against the property.
Your cooperation in this matter would be appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
