(Begin Pt. II)
In this case, the City is OWED the following fees for the inspection and registration for the NON-homesteaded property:
1. Conversion fee from owner occupied to rent house: $1000.00
2. Administrative fee for new owners of rental property: $250.00
3. Instant Citation for operating a property without a rental
license and not complying within 60 days of the closing: $500.00
4. Rental license fee: $65.00 + 50% late fee
5. Not posting 311 Poster Fee: $200.00
I doubt MasterCard is going to cover all of that so, that means this is... PRICELESS!
The 2009 T.I.S.H. report revealed over 50 items which normally would be picked up by a housing inspector during the required inspections. There is a point system for properties in Minneapolis with substandard conditions. The points allowed for a single family home is 25. The report contains over 50 substandard T.I.S.H. items plus Major Required Repairs. This "investment" property should be issued an immediate Letter of Intent to Condemn (L.I.N.T.).
Most of the substandard items would be allotted several points. There were items listed in the report such as: "Cracks in the walls, foundation, floors & windows warped and rodent droppings"...To name a few.
It is entirely possible that Megan may have planned this but, why?
The new occupant also happens to be the FORMER, DEFAULTED OWNER... Megan Goodmundson. Remember, she refinanced the house for $161,000 BUT, that loan was wiped out entirely when the bank foreclosed. Then her parents emerged AFTER the redemption period expired which means they presemted themselves as buyers for the house at $32,000 rather than redeeming the property for the $161,000 (plus significant bank costs needed to redeem) Megan owed.
Who is the big loser??? The BANK ended up taking a loss of over $130,000 when the Super-Citizen stopped making payments. Do you think the bank knew all along that Megan was going to stiff them for $130,000 and then move BACK IN??? Its doubtful. While that may not officially be called Fraud, I contend that it is clearly a dirty move made by someone who claims to be an activist for NoMi.
Megan screwed the bank, she has screwed the city and she has screwed her own parents by apparently not informing them (the new owners) about the added money that would be needed for the house to be in compliance. Perhaps it was the plan all along.
That is a Super-Citizen for ya!
As for Megan and her parents (by default) ignoring all those T.I.S.H. and rental licence ordinances, I am confident that the City Inspections department will get to the bottom of this in short order to stop these type of money making schemes in their tracks.
I have been informed that a formal complaint has been hand delivered to the Rental Licensing and T.I.S.H. department of the City of Minneapolis' Inspection Department.
Here is a copy of the Letter and report that was delivered.

I want to make it known that I (the Anti-Johnny), did NOT discover this information about Megan and her house. An actual NoMi resident that has grown tired of the Johnny Northside and Megan Goodmundson circus, is responsible for uncovering this information.
To them I say, THANK YOU! You are the true Super-Citizen and it seems that Megan has made her parents into Slum Lords.
