On June 14, 1985, I inspected portions of your property
known as 141 High Avenue at the request of the Oshkosh Wel-
fare Departme.nC"to-a~tain the suitabi 1 ity of the dwell ing
units for GR clients.
During the inspection, I noted the following violations
of the Oshkosh Minimum Housing Code and Capt. Robert Vajgrt,
who accompanied me on the inspection, noted the fol lowing
violations of the Fire Code:
1. The second floor rear storm door is loose where its
hinges have pulled away from the jamb. This storm door shall
be repaired. (This violation was noted during an inspection
of September 5, 1984 and is still uncorrected)
2. There is a piece of chipboard on the fire-escape
platform directly outside the rear second floor door. This
chipboard shall be removed as it allows ice and snow to build
up on the platform. (Fire Code Violation)

proper malntenance and repaired as follows:

loose or bent. These treads shall be,made secure and re-

6. There are not enough smoke detectors present and
the existing ones are not properly located. The required
number of smoke detectors shall be instal led in proper lo-
cations. (Fire Code)
7. It appears, through, inspection, that there is one
self contained apartment and five rooms that share the bath
and kitchen in this building. The use of the five rooms
for five individuals constitutes rooming house use. A
dwelling may not be used a a rooming house unless a licence
has been issued. Appl ications for rooming house licenses
may be obtained through this office.
It will be your responsibility, as owner, to ensure that
permits, if required, are obtained through the Code Enforce-
ment Office (236-5045).
On July 17, 1985, I will reinspect the premises to as-
sure compliance with this letter. If at that time the cor-
rections have not been made and there has been no contact
with this office concerning these violations and their cor-
r e c t ion d ate s, the c lie n t s w i I I be as k,e d tog i vet he I and lor d
notice that he/she will be vacating the premises. Upon ter-
mination of the tenancy, no further payments will be made to
the landlord of that unit.
