Approve the assessment.
Voicemail left at 10:13 am: this is Marcia Moermond from St. Paul City Council calling
Jessica Klassen about your appealed special assessment for sewer work at 777 Ohio.
We’ll try you back in a few minutes.
Voicemail left at 10:18 am: this is Marcia Moermond from St. Paul City Council calling
Jessia Klassen again. This is our second try today to reach you to talk about this
assessment, and we tried 3 times on August 4th. I’m going to recommend approval of
this assessment and send this to Council on September 2nd.
Moermond: for the record, we are looking at a $6,868 assessment.
Staff report by Supervisor Lisa Martin: March 9 2026 we received a referral regarding
living conditions, illegal bedrooms, overcrowding, unsanitary, structural, electrical and
plumbing issues. Black mold. Sewage in basement. She couldn’t afford to fix
plumbing or flush toilet for weeks. Owner had significant medical We did an
inspection, got House Calls involved. She didn’t have money for sewer repairs and was
asking for help to remain in her home. House Calls did clean up the basement after
commercial utilities went out and flushed sewer, “worst paper jam they’d ever seen”.
After the repairs we got a Voicemail from a nephew, Adam Lynn on May 4th, saying it
had backed up again and asking us to take care of it, we advised we are not a
maintenance company. He said the owner had passed away and they wanted to sell it.
We said we wouldn’t be doing that. Both owners deceased, no longer owner occupied.
We also let House Calls know the property remained condemned. Not sure if it went to
Vacant Buildings. The work WAS done.
Moermond: someone called in about gross unsanitary do to sewer?
Martin: yes.

Moermond: and you found a person who was basically doing hospice in their own home
and using products that clogged the plumbing so badly the company said it was the
worst they have ever seen. The City did it as an abatement, and the cleanout of the
basement was done by Ramsey County’s public health program, so that isn’t being
assessed. We’ve tried 5 calls to reach the daughter, Jessica Klassen. Since we have
had no communication I’m going to recommend approval payable in 1 year. No
question from the paperwork I’ve seen that the work was done.
