Resolufion ordering the owner to remove or repair the buiiding at 1093 Seventh Street Westi520 Bav Street. If the owner fails to compiy with the resolution, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. The following appeazed: Robyn Mazshall, owner, and Boris Tsvetovat, potential buyer. Steve Magner reported there aze two addresses on this building. The building was condemned in December 1999 and vacant since then. Three summary abatement notices have been issued to secure the dwelling, remove unsecured vehicle, remove debris, cut grass. On 8-21-00, an inspection of the building was conducted and a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance condition was developed and photographs were taken. This property remains in a condition that comprises a nuisance as defined by the legislarive code. The vacant building fees are paid. Real estate t�es aze paid. Estimated market value is $56,200. A code compliance inspection has not been applied for nor a$2,000 bond posted. The estimated cost to repair is $80,000. The estimated cost to demolish is $10,000 plus the cost for toxic waste removal. A fire broke out in this building because of a methamphetamine lab on the second floor, explained Mr. Magner. Waste &om the lab was thrown out the attic window. Some waste has been cleaned up, but there aze toxic chemicals left in the walls and debris of the building. The Fire Depardnent is going to require the second floor and attic be completely gutted prior to any remedial repairs to this building. The building has been boarded, aud this is probably why no inspection has been completed. The City is unwilling to go into this building due to the hazardous contamination. Boris Tsvetovat stated he buys and remodels properties. He is interested in this area, and he would like to make this property nice. Enviranment and pollution problems concem him also. He was asked to demolish the attic and the second floor. Gerry Strathman asked how long it will take to get this building into a condition so that the code compliance can be done. Mr. Tsvetovat responded February or Mazch. If the weather gives him a chance, he will demolish the properiy before winter and a big snow. �o-- �o�ry� LECTISLATTVE HEARING MINUTES OF 11-7-2000 Page 2 Mr. Strathman asked why weather is an issue as tlus is inside work. Mr. Tsvetovat responded the inside has no heat and there are some struchual probiems. He pians to open one wali. If the Fire Deparnnent will not send inspectors in the building, Mr. Strathman asked, who will do this inspection. Mr. Tsvetovat responded subcontractors. Mr. Strathman asked how long the demolition will take. Mr. Tsvetovat responded days. Mr. Strathman stated this building has been vacant for a year and is ohviously a blighting influence on the neighborhood. He cannot see how the City could continue to let this situation exist for two to three months. Then there will be rehabilitation time after that. If the demolition can be done in days, it could be done now instead of February. Mr. Tsvetovat responded he cannot promise, but he will try. Ms. Marshall stated she was under the impression that the top two floors had to come ofF completely. She asked did Mr. Magner say they have to be gutted out. Mr. Magner responded Phil Owens with the Fire Department would dictate what would haue to be completed to facilitate this project. Mr. Owens opinion is that everything from the fust floor ceiling would haue to be stripped out and gutted. Whethex that requires the whole second floor and attic to be removed versus being stripped down to the bare studs, is probably open to question until the work is started. If the fire is extensive enough to compromise the structural ability of the studs andlor their associate members, that area will need to be removed. There aze some structural and foundation problems that ea�tend all the way up. Until the deconstructian or removal of the walls, there is no definite answer. Gerry Strathman recommended approval. He understands the desire to sell the building and rehabilitate it, but he is concerned the effect the building has on the City and that it has sat in this condition for almost a year. Without a code comptiance, no bond can be posted Resolution ordering the owner to remove or repair the building at 1076 Jackson Street. If the owner fails to comply with the resolution, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. Steve Magner reported the owner has posted a bond, obtained permits, had a code inspection, and has started repairs on the property. The owner purchased the building right after public hearings were scheduled. Mr. Magner informed him they had to follow through with this public hearing, but ihat Mr. Magner will recommend 180 days. Gerry Strathman recommended granting six months to complete rehabilitafion on the property.

Resolufion ordering the owner to remove or repair the buiiding at 1093 Seventh Street Westi520 Bav Street. If the owner fails to compiy with the resolution, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. The following appeazed: Robyn Mazshall, owner, and Boris Tsvetovat, potential buyer. Steve Magner reported there aze two addresses on this building. The building was condemned in December 1999 and vacant since then. Three summary abatement notices have been issued to secure the dwelling, remove unsecured vehicle, remove debris, cut grass. On 8-21-00, an inspection of the building was conducted and a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance condition was developed and photographs were taken. This property remains in a condition that comprises a nuisance as defined by the legislarive code. The vacant building fees are paid. Real estate t�es aze paid. Estimated market value is $56,200. A code compliance inspection has not been applied for nor a$2,000 bond posted. The estimated cost to repair is $80,000. The estimated cost to demolish is $10,000 plus the cost for toxic waste removal. A fire broke out in this building because of a methamphetamine lab on the second floor, explained Mr. Magner. Waste &om the lab was thrown out the attic window. Some waste has been cleaned up, but there aze toxic chemicals left in the walls and debris of the building. The Fire Depardnent is going to require the second floor and attic be completely gutted prior to any remedial repairs to this building. The building has been boarded, aud this is probably why no inspection has been completed. The City is unwilling to go into this building due to the hazardous contamination. Boris Tsvetovat stated he buys and remodels properties. He is interested in this area, and he would like to make this property nice. Enviranment and pollution problems concem him also. He was asked to demolish the attic and the second floor. Gerry Strathman asked how long it will take to get this building into a condition so that the code compliance can be done. Mr. Tsvetovat responded February or Mazch. If the weather gives him a chance, he will demolish the properiy before winter and a big snow. �o-- �o�ry� LECTISLATTVE HEARING MINUTES OF 11-7-2000 Page 2 Mr. Strathman asked why weather is an issue as tlus is inside work.

If the Fire Deparnnent will not send inspectors in the building, Mr. Strathman asked, who will do this inspection. Mr. Tsvetovat responded subcontractors. Mr. Strathman asked how long the demolition will take. Mr. Tsvetovat responded days. Mr. Strathman stated this building has been vacant for a year and is ohviously a blighting influence on the neighborhood. He cannot see how the City could continue to let this situation exist for two to three months. Then there will be rehabilitation time after that. If the demolition can be done in days, it could be done now instead of February. Mr. Tsvetovat responded he cannot promise, but he will try. Ms. Marshall stated she was under the impression that the top two floors had to come ofF completely. She asked did Mr. Magner say they have to be gutted out. Mr. Magner responded Phil Owens with the Fire Department would dictate what would haue to be completed to facilitate this project. Mr. Owens opinion is that everything from the fust floor ceiling would haue to be stripped out and gutted. Whethex that requires the whole second floor and attic to be removed versus being stripped down to the bare studs, is probably open to question until the work is started. If the fire is extensive enough to compromise the structural ability of the studs andlor their associate members, that area will need to be removed. There aze some structural and foundation problems that ea�tend all the way up. Until the deconstructian or removal of the walls, there is no definite answer. Gerry Strathman recommended approval.
