Summary

After police presented four nuisance cases under Municipal Code 4-314, the St. Paul council voted 3–1 to mail second notices and schedule a hearing April 7, 2025; one council member opposed.

Chief of Police Dan Howard presented four nuisance cases under Municipal Code 4-314 and told the council that, if conditions are not abated, the city would proceed with a second notice establishing an April 7, 2025 hearing to determine existence and possible abatement of public nuisances.

Council member Bill Peters moved to approve mailing second notices to the four identified addresses (1117 Elm St.; 726 Howard Ave.; 1120 Custer St.; 810 Elm St.). Council members Katie Kowalski, Bill Peters and Mark Wilson voted aye; Council member Jerry Woodgate voted nay. The motion carried 3–1.

Chief Howard also said a first notice for a separate property will be reissued March 24, 2025, after the owner could not remedy the violation in time due to a family circumstance. The April 7 hearing date was set for interested parties to present evidence if the second notices do not produce compliance.

The council's action moves the matters forward to a formal hearing and potential abatement process under the municipal code.
