Volunteers helped clean up the condemned Martin Llndell home last weekend.
Volunteers saved Lindell home
oage 2
By Deb Gray
Mr. and Mrs. Martin Lindell believe
in miracles.
They don't understand the-housing
codes and legal proceedings that
threatened to evict them from their
home 6f 24 years. But a week ago they
thought they would be leaving their
graffiti-covered house at 618 S. 19 St.
And now they're staying. To them, it's
God's Providence at work.
"We think it's the writing 6n ike
house that protected us," said Mrs. Eva
Lindell.
Pam Snively, paralegal counsel at the
Legal Aid Service, has handled the
Lindell's case. She said the LindeU's
problems started this spring, when
residents in the apartment building at
623 S. 19th St. complained to Lincoln's
Housing Administration.
;'TheV said they didn't think the
house was safe for . the Lindell's,"
Snively said. "But I think some people
objected to the appearance of the house
itself."
Eva Lindell said her husband. - a
former UNL janitor, painted the grafetti
on the house after his retirement 15
years ago. He completed the project
within a year's time.
Snively said the Lindelis received an
eviction notice August 8 from the
Housing Administration. Noting the
house's faulty wiring, poor ventilation
and leaky roof, trie building was
designated an emergency case oy the
Housing Administration.
Most residents are allowed time to
bring condemned homesjjp tohousing
stanaaros, Sniveiy said. Tmc Emergency
status labeling spelled immediate re
location for the Lindelis. '
Snively said the Lindelis first came to
the Legal Aid Service after the
encouragement from friends.
"It was obvious these people didn't
understand what was happening to
them," she said. "They did not want to
move. This home is all they have to
show for their whole life."
Mrs. Lindell said a real . estate
representative offered to buy tho house.
Snively said she didn't know the roan's
name. But some real-estate company
hoped to erect an spartment on the
Lindell's lot.
Another woman canvassed the area
soliciting neighborhood contributions to
paint the house green, Mrs. Lindell
said.
Snively said she appealed the Hous
ing Administration's decision.
"This emergency status rating made
daily nebraskan .
no sense," Snively said. "This said the
house was dangerous to the public. The
only people endangered by the house
were the Lindelis themselves.
"And the LindeMs have lived under
the same conditions for 24 years. Why
would it' be an emergency' ait' of" a
sudden?"
Leo Scherer, Jpirector,of Community
Development said the accusations
aimed at his off ice were not completely
true. r,if - T:
The Housing Administration had tried
to negotiate with the LindeMs for a year,
he said, but the Lindelis did not
understand the necessity for enforcing
housing codes.
"They thought that since they lived in
America that they could live any way
they chose," Scnerer said. They
didn't see the sense of housing
regulations."
The house's Biblical slogans, he said,
die not affect the Housing Administra
tion's ruling. Their actions, he said,
were based on the house's bulging
foundation; faulty wiring and roofing
and lack of hot water.
"Legally, we would have the right to
proceed simply on the basis or the
Biblical writings," Scherer said. ..
"Heopfe may not beiieve this, but we
are concerned about the safety of these
people."
. Snively said Carl Kopines, Housing
Administration director, relaxed his
earlier decision last Tuesday. He
allowed the Lindelis a week to snow that
something could be done to the house.
Saturday morning volunteers began
clearing out the house and yard. They
would nave to work about three more
weekends, Snively said, before the
house would meet occupancy standards.
Mrs. Lindell said she and her
husband were not worried about their
future.
"We just leave our lives in uoa s
hands," she said, "Whatever happens
to us will be His will."
Scherer was uncertain it the volunteer
efforts would succeed.
"Structurally, I don't know it the
house will meet standards even after all
the work," he said. "It will take a lot of
money to fix the foundation."
The LindeMs took no part in Saturday
morning's operations. They sat apart
while ve'unteers sorted and threw away
boxes of belongings that they'd kept for
years. To them, Snively said, it was like
seeing part of their lives thrown away.
"This is the only home I've ever
known," Mrs. Lindell said.
