File #3758
Honora.ble Cotmcil:
The Division of Housing and Building Code Enforcement is hereby submitting its report
on the condition of the structure at the location referred to above.
The owners of record are: (Fee) Daniel T. Peterson, Box #3135, St. Paul, MIV. 55165,
and {C.P.) Wendell L. Carroll/W.R. Kane, 70 Law�on St. , St. Paul, PA�1.55102
The legal description of the property is Vac Alley Adj And Fol NWLY 25 Ft of Lot 15
and of SWLY 10 Ft of Lot 14 Block 12 Terrace Park Addition Blk 1 Thru 8 and Blk 12,
parcel cade 07-72000-141-12.
The building is a single family frame construction house.
The subject property has not been boarded up by the owner/city.
This building has been evaluated by the City Engineer, Claude Eizenhoeffer. In his
opinion, there is severe danger of the folmdation bank failing, and the structure
collapsing.
Inasmuch as the conditions outlined above constitute a public hazard, and the own-
er has made no attempt to sa�isfactorily repair the dama.ge cl,espite our warnings,
and the continued vacant and boarded up condition contributes a blighting influence
on the neighborhood, it is the recommendation of this Division that this matter be
referred to the City Attorney's office for razing and removal through District
Court roceeding. ,
