tJOHN BEREN, • <br /> 4605 WATERTOWN ROAD <br /> ORONO, MN 55: 59-9581 <br /> 612-449-8952 <br /> RAx-449-9215 <br /> 30 July, 1993 <br /> Mr. Kamil Ugerbil <br /> 2812 Benton Boulevard <br /> Minneapolis,MN 55416 <br /> Ref: 4605 Watertown Road <br /> Orono,MN 55359-9681 <br /> Dear Kamil: <br /> In the six months since my wife and I have purchased the above referenced property from you, we have <br /> discovered several major leaks in the roof, and have been informed by the City of Orono (dated 07-06-93) <br /> that we must replace the septic system within 90 days . Prior to the closing (01-29-93)you signed a Real <br /> Estate Transfer Disclosure Statement (dated 11-12-92) which indicates that the roof is less than four <br /> years old with no history of leakage; and that there has been no history of septic leakage or other <br /> problems. Since we were buying the house during winter months, we realized neither of these problems <br /> would have been immediately apparent. I questioned you specifically about the integrity of these systems, <br /> and you assured me that they were in perfect condition. <br /> Two independent roofing contractors have inspected the roof and found evidence of silicone caulk in the <br /> areas which leak,indicating prior knowledge of these conditions. <br /> Independent inspection of the septic system indicates that it had not been pumped in at least four years; <br /> and records from the City of Orono indicate that they had notified you of septic leakage as far back as <br /> 1990. In addition, Art Fries, longtime gardener for the property, states that the leakage from the septic <br /> field has been forming damp, muddy depressions in the northern lawn directly over the field for "several <br /> years". <br /> Estimates place the costs of these repairs at approximately $15,000.00 [FIFTEEN THOUSAND <br /> DOLLARS]. Please contact me within next thirty days to make arrangements for completing these <br /> repairs, or I will submit this complaint and all pertinent documentation to the Minnesota Association of <br /> Realtors for arbitration as per the purchase agreement, lines 135-148. <br /> Sig , <br /> ohn F.
