Re: 824 Jackson Street
Dear Mr. Fiedler:
Mayor Wollangk asked that I respond to your May 18, 1995 correspondence, individually
addressed to members of the Oshkosh City Council.
I'm enclosing a copy of a correction notice sent on May 17, 1995, by Housing Inspector
Bruce Luedtke. The correction notice also has a further note, dated May 23, 1995, in
which Mr. Luedtke notes that it was reinspected and that Mr. Kohls will finish cleaning up
the property by May 31, 1995.
The City Attorney has also reviewed your letter and he notes that, "Much of your concern
rests in a civil court forum and falls outside the limited jurisdiction that the city government
has concerning rental units. Under current Wisconsin law, overhanging. trees, carpenter
ants, boards and leaves against your fence, and any damage caused by those particular
problems, are issues specifically between property owners. You may wish to contact the
Winnebago County Conflict Resolution Center at 236-4711 before consulting a private
attorney and pursuing a civil lawsuit. "
I hope that this matter is resolved to your satisfaction.
Very truly yours,
UeF'2~
