ORDER TO CORRECT HAZARDOUS CONDITION OF BUILDING PURSUANT TO MINNESOTA STATUTES $463.17 TO: Vahid Sedaghat, and Valor Enterprises, 3165 -3167 Spruce Street and The City of Little Canada has found that because of inadequate maintenance, dilapidation, physical damage, unsanitary condition, or abandonment, the Building located at 3167 Spruce Street, Little Canada, Minnesota ( "the Building ") constitutes a fire hazard or a hazard to public safety or health. Therefore, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes §463.15, Subd. 3, the City of Little Canada hereby declares that such Building constitutes a Hazardous Building. The specific grounds for this declaration are as follows: 1. The Building is hazardous because of the accumulation of debris, automobiles and other obstacles throughout the building. This is a hazardous condition from a fire perspective as no pathways exist from within the Building to Building egress points. 2. The Building is hazardous because there are combustible materials stored throughout. The storage of such combustible materials constitutes a fire hazard due to the presence of such combustible materials in unsafe proximity to electrical and /or mechanical components within the Building. 3. The paint booth contained in the Building was constructed without necessary permits and does not comply with the Minnesota State Fire Code, the International Building Code, the International Mechanical Code, or ICC Electrical Codes. The paint booth is hazardous from a fire, building code, and electrical perspective due to the code violations noted above, and due to improper ventilation, improper wiring, and a complete tack of fire protection or detection equipment. 4. The room in the Building which contains paint and other chemicals does not meet applicable fire codes. This room is hazardous because of its design, the improper storage of chemicals, and the combined business use of the Building. 1 2-
