Re: 368 E. Lawson
File No. 2454
Honorable Council:
The Division of Building and Housing Code Enforcement is hereby submitting
its report on the condition of the structures at the location referred to
above.
The owners of record are Arlene Olding and John Olding.
The legal description of the property is Lot 13, Block 1, Cooper' s Addi-
tion.
The buildings are a two-story frame duplex and a 24 ' x 24' frame garage.
Stones are loose and missing in the foundation. The i.mitation brick siding
is torn and missing. The roof covering is deteriorated and worn and the
gutters and downspouts are loose and parts are missing. Doors and windows
are broken and missing.
The basement has a dirt floor and the first floor joists are not properly
supported on beams and posts. The basement stairs are weak and uneven.
There is loose and falling plaster throughout the house. There are broken
and missing interior doors as weii as broken and missing trim.
The plumbing system is old and deteriorated. The entire system will have
to be replaced as it is not installed according to the building code. The
electrical system is inadequate for today' s needs. A new larger service will
have to be installed and the electrical system brought up to code require-
ments.
This duplex is heated by space heaters and more heaters will have to be in-
stalled to provide adequate heat. The frame garage is in a dilapidated
condition with doors and windows missing.
.
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority does not intend to acquire this

This property has been boarded by the city since July 27, 1973.

Re: 368 E. Lawson 3-25-74
Inasmuch as the inadequate maintenance, the dilapidated condition and
the physical damage outlined above constitute a public hazard and the
owners have made no attempt to satisfactorily repair the damage despite
our warnings, and the continued vacant and boarded up condition contrib-
utes 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.
