Members of the City Council
Re: 159-61 N. St. .Albans
File No. 2758
Honorable Council :
The Division of Housing and Building Code Enforcement is hexeby sub-
mitting its report on the condition of the structure at the location
referred to above.
The owners of record are Scharz Properties, Inc. , 1117 Commerce Bldg. ,
St. Paul, Minnesota.
The legal description of the property is :
Lots 1 and 2 , Black 6, Holcombe 's Addition.
Because of age, deterioration, extensive vandalism and lack of main-
tenance, this two-story brick veneer building is deemed to be beyond
feasible rehabiiitation and in hazardous condition.
The heating, electrical and plumbing systems are broken up and missing.
The interior walls, floors and stairways are deteriorated and missing.
The kitchen and bathroom cabinets and fixtures have been broken and re-
moved. The building should be condemned and removed as soon as possible.
Inasmuch as the conditions outlined above constitute a public hazard
and the owner has made no attempt to satisfactorily repair the damage
despite our war�ings, and the eontinued vacant and boarded up condition
contributes a blighting influence on the neighborhood, it is the recom-
mendation of this Division that this mattex be referred to the City At-
torney's office for razing and removal through District Court proceedings.
Yours truly,
