Kay Anderson, the Yale Park landlord, sat down in front of the property maintenance appeals board to fight the 100 citations by city inspectors. Anderson and his attorneys argue that the way the raid on the Yale Park apartments happened last fall was flawed. Board member Gerald Reimer told Anderson that the board only wants to help find solutions, saying "because we are here as a public board to help represent and protect your rights."Anderson claimed that the city left him no way out and wants to tear the buildings down. Reimer turned to the head of code enforcement, Scott Lang, and asked "would the city like to see these buildings repaired and put back to useful space?" Lang responded, "as with every case we prefer that they get remedied." Anderson asked the board for 60 days to completely remedy two buildings. The board decided to lay the issue over for 30 days so Anderson can come up with a timetable to rehab the entire complex and meet all city code."We fully intend to fix it up as it needs to be fixed up, this is what I have been looking for is some guarantee we will be able to finish the project, Anderson said.
