Re: 667 Ashland
Inasmuch as the physical damage and the 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 neighborhood, it is the recommendation
of this bureau that this matter be referred to the City Attorney's
office for razing and xemoval through District urt proceedings.
