Re: 528 Ashland 3-19-74
The subject property has been boarded by the city since December 10,
1973.
Inasmuch as the 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 neighborhood, 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.
V y truly your
