We installed the temporary fence on Monday. Are there any updates?
Thanks,

Still working through the material you provided. I hope to connect with the Contractor’s attorney as well to discuss.
Thanks for the up-date relative to the fencing.

Ok, I’m heading over to the house now to pump out the basement. So much damage is happening to the house when the basement continuously floods. This is unacceptable. I know you have other priorities, but I can’t keep waiting indefinitely for either Diversified’s “plan” to fix their mistakes or to find someone who can fix it. Diversified Group defrauded us.

The City taking action to cite them into court would not be a quick fix to the problem nor likely resolve any potential contract issues you have with them.
Have you spoken with legal counsel of your own relative to your immediate options?
I understand that you need to mitigate further damage and any plan to do so should not be delayed simply because the City has advised them of code violations. So please do not delay your action to mitigate by waiting for Prosecution to begin.
Thanks,
Beth

Megan-
I spoke with the Attorney for Diversified regarding the potential for citation due to the outstanding code violations.
He indicated that he sent a letter to you relative to a settlement and that he had not heard from you or a representative for you.
Further, he indicated that he is willing to discuss the settlement terms with you or your legal counsel.
Thank you again for getting fencing up around the property. If you have any up-dates from your communication with their legal counsel please let me know.
Thanks,
Beth

Ok. What is the status of the citations? The 30 day notice I received from Mark was dated Feb 5.
Thanks,

Megan-
The process of issuing a complaint for the code violations would track as follows
WHEN AND IF A DETERMINATION TO ISSUE CITATIONS IS MADE:
Citations would be filed- approximately 5-7 days
Diversified would be served with a copy of the citation which contains an arraignment date- the arraignment date is typically 10 -15 days from the date of service
Since they have legal counsel they could potentially enter an appearance and request a pretrial conference.
The Court after arraignment would set it for a pretrial with the Prosecutor- this would likely be 15 days from arraignment depending on the schedule of the Court and legal counsel of the defendant.
The City has not determined if issuance of citations is appropriate in this situation.
As I have mentioned any code enforcement would not be a quick fix, and the court would not be able to address more than the violations- it would not correct the other contract issues and the fact that Diversified does not desire to return to the project.
Did you speak with the attorney for Diversified to see if you could work out anything?
Again, I am unable to provide legal advice to you. I would urge you to consider speaking with your own counsel.
Thanks,
Beth

Subject: Before the Law by Franz Kafka
Before the Law
by Franz Kafka
Translation by Ian Johnston
Before the law sits a gatekeeper. To this gatekeeper comes a man from the country who asks to gain entry into the law. But the gatekeeper says that he cannot grant him entry at the moment. The man thinks about it and then asks if he will be allowed to come in later on. “It is possible,” says the gatekeeper, “but not now.” At the moment the gate to the law stands open, as always, and the gatekeeper walks to the side, so the man bends over in order to see through the gate into the inside. When the gatekeeper notices that, he laughs and says: “If it tempts you so much, try it in spite of my prohibition. But take note: I am powerful. And I am only the most lowly gatekeeper. But from room to room stand gatekeepers, each more powerful than the other. I can’t endure even one glimpse of the third.” The man from the country has not expected such difficulties: the law should always be accessible for everyone, he thinks, but as he now looks more closely at the gatekeeper in his fur coat, at his large pointed nose and his long, thin, black Tartar’s beard, he decides that it would be better to wait until he gets permission to go inside. The gatekeeper gives him a stool and allows him to sit down at the side in front of the gate. There he sits for days and years. He makes many attempts to be let in, and he wears the gatekeeper out with his requests. The gatekeeper often interrogates him briefly, questioning him about his homeland and many other things, but they are indifferent questions, the kind great men put, and at the end he always tells him once more that he cannot let him inside yet. The man, who has equipped himself with many things for his journey, spends everything, no matter how valuable, to win over the gatekeeper. The latter takes it all but, as he does so, says, “I am taking this only so that you do not think you have failed to do anything.” During the many years the man observes the gatekeeper almost continuously. He forgets the other gatekeepers, and this one seems to him the only obstacle for entry into the law. He curses the unlucky circumstance, in the first years thoughtlessly and out loud, later, as he grows old, he still mumbles to himself. He becomes childish and, since in the long years studying the gatekeeper he has come to know the fleas in his fur collar, he even asks the fleas to help him persuade the gatekeeper. Finally his eyesight grows weak, and he does not know whether things are really darker around him or whether his eyes are merely deceiving him. But he recognizes now in the darkness an illumination which breaks inextinguishably out of the gateway to the law. Now he no longer has much time to live. Before his death he gathers in his head all his experiences of the entire time up into one question which he has not yet put to the gatekeeper. He waves to him, since he can no longer lift up his stiffening body. The gatekeeper has to bend way down to him, for the great difference has changed things to the disadvantage of the man. “What do you still want to know, then?” asks the gatekeeper. “You are insatiable.” “Everyone strives after the law,” says the man, “so how is that in these many years no one except me has requested entry?” The gatekeeper sees that the man is already dying and, in order to reach his diminishing sense of hearing, he shouts at him, “Here no one else can gain entry, since this entrance was assigned only to you. I’m going now to close it.
…and still we wait.
does anyone care?
will anyone help?
Will we ever gain access to the law?
…and still we wait.

Mr. Ide and Ms. Bremer-
I am in receipt of your email.
As I have previously indicated the status of filing charges in the Court will not necessarily ensure that the foundation work is completed.
The foundation work for which the city has been requested to be inspected and have identified as deficient are the only items we would be able to legally enforce- any contract issues related to the situation would not be within the scope.
I take it any attempts to discuss resolution with Legal Counsel for Diversified were not fruitful and that to date you have not obtained your own legal counsel relative to the contract issues.
Sincerely,
Beth A. Tischler
