however called again the following day to cancel. Inspection on September 4, 1996 revealed

Dear Mr. Weimholt:
We are in receipt of your 2nd letter concerning 8749-8751 Mission Drive, (which is an
exact copy of the 1st letteer.) — —
L. 0 /6 �:-r -��---� 4/ t�-�- rQ Y-�. , v
We are in good faith attempting to correct the "defects" our your list. We are impoving the
property, slowly but surely, as our finances allow. We have already cleaned up the
property and removed all items on the property that are not claimed by the tenants.
Please note that this is a rental property and occupied by tenants. Any items remaining are
claimed by the tenants and even though they are "junk" to you, cannot be removed by the
landlord, otherwise we could be sued by the tenants.
We have already sent letters to the tenants letting them know of the city's desires. The
tenant has also assured us that the garage has not been converted to a living area.
Sincerely,
44,1 r
