-3- <br /> <br />Dick Schneider: Definitely inspection should be done right at <br />the time the building is going up. <br /> <br />?/31/7~+ <br />C.M. <br /> <br />Ernie Peterson: I think you have all received letters from the <br />State about a certificate of occupany. We have been advised to <br />have certificate of occupancy on all buildings. <br /> <br />Wally: It is a violation of State Building Code if they move in <br />without a building occupancy permit. They had three in one month's <br />%ime. <br /> <br />Arnie Cox: We have six finals that would like to move in before <br />the house in completed. We have one weak area in our ordinance <br />and it needs to be changed. It puts the official in a bad situ- <br />ation. <br /> <br />Wally: They can be fined $300 per day for this violation. Build- <br />ing inspectors are liable if anyone moves in before a house is <br />finished. He has allowed people to move their furnishings into <br />a finished garage. <br /> <br />Minder: Should the builder or the home owner pay the fine? <br /> <br />Wally: The one who takes out the building permit pays the fine. <br />Minneapolis and St. Paul have occupancy permits for used homes. <br /> <br />Bill Nelson: Thinks building inspectors for the seven communi- <br />ties should get together every month or six weeks to talk over <br />their problems. <br /> <br />Bill Burman, Oak Grove: How many people know about this occu- <br />pancy permit? <br /> <br />Bill Pittman, Ramsey: <br />ing permit. <br /> <br />They are notified when they get the build- <br /> <br />Winslow Holasek, Grow: He thinks the builder should be held re- <br />sponsible for the biolation of this permit. Many young people <br />don't know anything about occupancy permits. The occupancy per- <br />mit is for the protection of the buyer of the house so that it <br />will be completed. Real estate people advertise on radio and TV <br />that people can have a ranch with horses and pigs. Buyers are <br />very unknowledgeable. Contractors don't come back to finish their <br />work without the occupancy permit. Nobody talks about the hard- <br />ship put on the local government when houses are not finished. <br /> <br />Dallas Felegy, City of Anoka: <br />er than the governing body. <br /> <br />The building official is no strong- <br /> <br />Jerry Hopperstad, Ramsey: <br />er? <br /> <br />What; about a $1,O00 bond for the build- <br /> <br /> <br />
