Gerry S�athman recommends denying the appeal and said he did not receive a call from the owners. Resolution ordering the owner to remove or repair the building at 1093 Seventh Street West/520 Bav Street. If the owner fails to comply with the resolution, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. The following appeazed: Robyn Mazshall, owner, and Boris Tsvetovat, potenfial 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 consritute a nuisance condition was developed and photographs were taken. This properiy remains in a condifion that comprises a nuisance as defined by the legislative code. The vacant building fees aze paid. Reai estate ta�ces 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 $8Q,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 from the lab was thrown out the attic window. Some waste has been cleaned up, but there are toxic chemicals left in the wails and debris of the building. The Fire Depaztment is going to require the second floar and attic be completely gutted prior to any remedial repairs to this building. The building has been boarded, and this is probably why no inspection has been compieted. The City is unwilling to go into this building due to the ha�ar contamination. Boris Tsvetovat stated he buys and remodeis properties. He is interested in this azea, and he would like to make this property nice. Bnvironment and pollution problems concern 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 compiiance can be done. Mr. Tsvetovat responded February or Much. If the weather gives him a chance, he will demol3sh the property before winter and a big snow. �C�-\OGS LEGISLATIVE HEARING MINUTES OF 11-7-2000 Page 2 Mr. Strathman asked why weather is an issue as this is inside work. Mr. Tsvetovat responded the inside has no heat and there aze some structurai problems. He plans to open one wall. If the Fire Department 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 obviously 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 rehabilitadon 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. Mazshall 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 Depariment would dictate what would have to be completed to facilitate this project. Mr. Owens opinion is that everything from the first floor ceiling would have to be stripped out and gutted. Whether that requires the whole second floor and attic to be removed versus being stripped down to the baze studs, is probably open to question until the work is started. If the fire is ea�tensive enough to compromise the structural ability of the studs and/or their associate members, that azea will need to be removed. There are some structural and foundation problems that extend all the way ap. Until the deconshuction or removal of the walls there is no defuute answer. Gerry Strathman recommended approval. He understands the desire to seli 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 compliance, 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 pernuts, 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 that Mr. Magner will recommend 180 days. Gerry Strathman recommended granting six months to complete rehabilitation on the property.

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. Mazshall 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 Depariment would dictate what would have to be completed to facilitate this project. Mr. Owens opinion is that everything from the first floor ceiling would have to be stripped out and gutted. Whether that requires the whole second floor and attic to be removed versus being stripped down to the baze studs, is probably open to question until the work is started. If the fire is ea�tensive enough to compromise the structural ability of the studs and/or their associate members, that azea will need to be removed. There are some structural and foundation problems that extend all the way ap. Until the deconshuction or removal of the walls there is no defuute answer. Gerry Strathman recommended approval. He understands the desire to seli 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 compliance, 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 pernuts, 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 that Mr. Magner will recommend 180 days.

Appeal of summary abatement order at 703 Fuller Avenue. Dick Lippert reported that he came to an agreement with the owners, who indicated they would call to check on getting their money back. Gerry S�athman recommends denying the appeal and said he did not receive a call from the owners. Resolution ordering the owner to remove or repair the building at 1093 Seventh Street West/520 Bav Street. If the owner fails to comply with the resolution, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. The following appeazed: Robyn Mazshall, owner, and Boris Tsvetovat, potenfial 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 consritute a nuisance condition was developed and photographs were taken. This properiy remains in a condifion that comprises a nuisance as defined by the legislative code. The vacant building fees aze paid. Reai estate ta�ces 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 $8Q,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 from the lab was thrown out the attic window. Some waste has been cleaned up, but there are toxic chemicals left in the wails and debris of the building. The Fire Depaztment is going to require the second floar and attic be completely gutted prior to any remedial repairs to this building. The building has been boarded, and this is probably why no inspection has been compieted. The City is unwilling to go into this building due to the ha�ar contamination. Boris Tsvetovat stated he buys and remodeis properties. He is interested in this azea, and he would like to make this property nice. Bnvironment and pollution problems concern 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 compiiance can be done. Mr. Tsvetovat responded February or Much. If the weather gives him a chance, he will demol3sh the property before winter and a big snow. �C�-\OGS LEGISLATIVE HEARING MINUTES OF 11-7-2000 Page 2 Mr. Strathman asked why weather is an issue as this is inside work. Mr. Tsvetovat responded the inside has no heat and there aze some structurai problems. He plans to open one wall. If the Fire Department 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 obviously 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 rehabilitadon 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. Mazshall 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 Depariment would dictate what would have to be completed to facilitate this project. Mr. Owens opinion is that everything from the first floor ceiling would have to be stripped out and gutted. Whether that requires the whole second floor and attic to be removed versus being stripped down to the baze studs, is probably open to question until the work is started. If the fire is ea�tensive enough to compromise the structural ability of the studs and/or their associate members, that azea will need to be removed. There are some structural and foundation problems that extend all the way ap. Until the deconshuction or removal of the walls there is no defuute answer. Gerry Strathman recommended approval.
