The building is a wo-story, wood frame, duplex resic�ence.
The subject proper y has been boarded up by the owne� since October 15, 1986.
This building beca se of age, deterioration, lack of proper maintenance, severe
fire damage and th following list of deficiencies, is deemed to be hazardous.
Inasmuch as the co ditions outlined above constitute a public hazard and the
owner has made no ttempt to satisfactorily repair the damage, and the continued
vacant and boarded up condition contributes a blighting influence on the neighbor-
hood, it is the re ommendation of this Division that this matter be referred to
the City Attorney's office for razing and removal through District Court proceed-
ings.
