Hello Mr. Thai,
I was given your email address in regards to the ongoing remodel of 3811 River Ave.
Most of my neighbors work at the time this meeting will take place so we will be sending emails for you

to review.
December 2017, this “remodel” began without a city permit, which resulted in a “Stop Work” notice,
this speaks volumes about the progress so far.
My husband and I have lived on 39th St. For over 30 years and have watched as many of our neighbors
either remodeled their homes or did a complete tear down and rebuild many homes around us. None,
have ever taken over 5 1/2 years to complete, in fact most are done in quick fashion and without
complaints from neighbors. None have received as many renewals of expired work permits or violations
as 3811 River Ave.
I feel this property owner has no regard for the peace and quiet enjoyment of our neighborhood. This in
fact has played out with having no parking plan for numerous different trades, weeks of absolutely no
work at all being done at said property, not keeping the property clean and safe (see notice of just one
of those violations), pages and pages of permits for work that have expired and been renewed
numerous times and as I’ve stated before, the stop work notices and violations attached to this
remodel.
One example is this past Friday May 5th. 2023, 2 men without and delineator’s, cones, vests, or flag
person, began saw cutting through 39th St. Without notice and to my knowledge without permits.
Thankfully the city responded and stopped them before they completely tore up the street to break into
our city sewer line.This was not an emergency as no one lives at 3811 River Ave.
Once again operating outside the norms of of city code and public works.
Please, look back through the numerous pages of all permits and violations attached to this remodel and
do not, yet again, extend the time to finish.
I believe November 30th, 2023 will come and go as all other expiration dates previously, and this project
will not be finished.
Thank You in advance,
Robert and Lori Morris
