The legal description of the property is; Dehmers Subdivision Subj . to RDS;
Lots 8 and 9.
The.building is a one and one half story wood fxame residence.
The subjec� property ha.s been boarded up by the City since March 1983.

blighting influence on the neighborhood, it is the recommendation of this
Division that this matter be referred to the City At�orney's office for raz-
ing and removal through District Court proceedings. �, :�
