Municipal Code Violations
Greetings:
This is being addressed to both the current property owners of record as well as the mortgagee in
light of the fact that the City believes the property has been abandoned for the past several
months. Although it appears that no foreclosure action has been commenced, the City requests
that the mortgagee take as active of a role as is allowed by law to remedy the issues raised in this
communication.
The City's Inspections Division has received two general complaints regarding the above
property. The first relates to the condition of the exterior, and primarily the yard. The grass and
vegetation has not been maintained all summer. I believe that City has cut the tall grass and
weeds at least twice. The cost for such maintenance will be placed as a special charge against
the property if it is not paid. Given the dwelling's lack of occupancy, we expect that this
situation will unfortunately continue.
I am enclosing the Correction Notice that has previously been mailed to the property. Also
enclosed are two photos providing representative images of the condition of the house.

The second complaint deals with the potential neighborhood health hazard resulting from a
condition that may exist within the house. We believe that the natural gas to the house was shut
off in December 2009. We also believe that the electricity to the house was shut off in February
2010. The lack of electricity renders the dwelling's sump pump(s) inoperable, and increases the
chances of standing water in the basement. Standing water within a dwelling can create a
hazardous condition both for humans near the dwelling, as well as its structural integrity.
The City Inspections Division would like the opportunity to discuss this property with authorized
persons. To arrange for an inspection, or for technical questions, please contact Andrew Prickett
at (920) 236 -5137. If you have questions about this letter, or legal issues, please contact me at
(920) 236 -5115.
We look forward to hearing from you and resolving these issues before they result in even more
significant problems.
Sincerely,
CITY OF OSHKOSH
