The building is a one story commercial structure.
The subject property has been boarded up by the owner since Apri.l., 1980.
This building because of age, deterioration, lack o� proper maintenance and fail-
ure of the owner to correct the attached list of de£iciencies is a blighting in-
fluence on the neighborhood. This building has been broken into several times
and the owner has failed to keep the building properly secured thus creating a
potential hazard.
Inasmuch as the conditions outlined above constitute a public hazard and the
owner has made no attempt to satisfactorily repair the damage despite our warn-

influence on the neighborhood, it is the recom�nenda.tion of this Division that
this rnatter be referred to the City Attorney's office for razing and removal
through District Court proceedings.
