Re: 863 E. Fourth St.
File #2490
Hearing Nov. 7, 1974
Honorable Council:
The Division of Housing and Building Code Enfoxcement is hereby
submitting its report on the condition of the structure at the
location referred to above.
The owners of record are Thomas E. Nowicki and Frank C. Schwartz.
The legal description of the property is Lot 18, Black 96 , Stinson' s.
Sub. of Block 96 of Lymand Dayton' s Addition.
, The building is a 26' x 42 ' frame dwelling.
There are holes in the roof of this dwelling and cornice and fascia
are missing in many places causing it to be open to aminals and the
whether.
The side walls of the building are uneven and front porch roof rafters
are rotted. This structure has a partial basement 10' x 10' with a
dirt floor, as we11 as not being adequately supported in many places.
The flooring above is rotted and in dangerous condition. There is
evidence of water seepage through the foundation wall which has stone
missing. The basement steps are rotten and broken.
On the first floor the front room, kitchen and bath floors are rotten
and have holes. The other three rooms have poured concrete floors on
the ground. They are uneven and there� is evidence of water seepage
through the walls. Ceiling tile is missing in the front room. The
side entry door has completely rotted away.
The plumbing, electrical and heating systems are deteriorated. There
is open plumbing and improper plumbing in the basement. The plumbing
_ ��

.

Re: 863 E. Fourth Con't
pipes leak. There is open and improper wiring in the electrical
system. There is no heat in the house, space heaters were used
and have been removed. The aluminum liner in the chimney is corroded
and is not useable.
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority does not intend to acquire
this property.
The submect property has been boarded by the city since April 11,
1974.
Inasmuch as the inadequate maintenance, physical damage and dilapidated
conditions outlined above constitute a public hazard and the owner
has made no attempt to satisfactorily repair the damage despite our
warnings, and the continued vacant and boarded up condition contributes
a blighting influence on the neigh.borhood, it is the recommendation
of this bureau that this matter be referred to the City Attorney' s
office for razing and removal through District Court proceedings.
Very truly yours,
