At that time, I also sent a listing of contractors who might be able to repair the dam- <br />age to the soffit and the built -in gutter system. <br />Yesterday, the Director of the Commission, Catherine Hostetler, and I inspected your property <br />and found that the condition has not improved. The gutter system is propped up on the porch roof and wa- <br />ter has been dripping from the soffit and the porch's eaves after a heavy rain storm. It appears that despite <br />gutter guards, debris has settled in the gutters and has caused water to pool. We fear that if this season <br />continues to be rainy, you may also lose portions of the porch roofs and more of the main roof's soffit. <br />Please contact our office (574 235 9798) to confirm the scheduling of this necessary repair work <br />and gutter maintenance, and if you have any questions. If we do not hear from you by May 17th and if the <br />condition of the house remains as it is, we will need to notify South Bend's Code Enforcement Depart- <br />ment and advise them that the residence does not meet the Commission's Minimum Maintenance Stan- <br />dards and City Code. <br />Sincerely, <br />Auel <br />.
