Dear Mr. Salzsieder:
On August 2, 1985, I inspected portions of your property
known as 327 Saratoga Avenue for General Relief purposes as
required by the Oshkosh Welfare Department and due to the fact
that I received a petition from the neighbors on July 24, 1985
concerning the exterior condition of the dwelling.
During the inspection, I noted the following violations of
the Oshkosh Minimum Housing Code which shall be corrected:
327 A Saratoga
1. The toilet is leaking through the floor into the first
floor dining room ceiling. This water leak shall be found and
repaired to stop further damage to the dining room ceiling.
2. There is a new kitchen sink and countertop installation
which has been installed without permits. (Referred to Plumbing
Inspector for followup) The trap also leaks,
3. There is a screen missing in the rear bedroom. A screen
shall be installed.

living unit. All torn screens shall be repaired and missing screens
shall be replaced.

has been installed without permits. (Referred to Plumbing Inspector
for followup)
6. There is a new bathroom sink and counter that has been in-
stalled without permit. (Referred to Plumbing Inspector for fol-
lowup.

9. The basement steps are in poor condition and lack a
handrail. The basement steps shall be repaired to a secure
condition or replaced and a handrail installed at a height of
32 inches above the nose of the treads.
10. The 60 -amp service has branch cird'uits that are over
fused with 30 amp. fuses. 15-amp fusestats shall be installed
with adapters. (Referred to Electrical Inspector for followup)
11. The 220 volt receptacle is not properly covered and
is also improperly secured. This receptacle shall be covered
and secured properly.
Exterior
12. The exterior siding on the dwelling is in poor condi-
tion with chipped and peeling paint. This condition is not
harmonious with the surrounding dwellings resulting in the pe-
tition I received. The siding of the dwelling shall be scraped,
primed and painted.
13. The West porch and steps to the first floor apartment
is in poor condition with deteriorated treads, decking, and rail-
ings. This porch shall be repaired or replaced to a secure con-
dition and a handrail installed on the steps. The porch shall
also be painted to match the dwelling.
14. The left -hand metal hand and guard rail on the North
steps is loose. This railing shall be properly secured to the
steps.
15. The right -hand garage door is in very poor condition
with broken or missing panels. This door shall be properly re-
placed or repaired.
It will be your responsibility, as owner, to ensure that
you or your contractor contact the Code Enforcement Office at
236 5051 to determine whether or not permits will be required
to properly correct the noted violations.
On August 23, 1985, I will reinspect the property to ascer-
tain whether or not progress is being made in the correction of
the noted violations. Failure to comply can and will eventually
lead to the issuance of citations and legal prosecution.
