Re: 818 Ashland
File #2377
Iionorable Council:
The Division of Housing and Building Code Enforcement is hereby
submitting its report on the condition of the structure at the
location referred to above.
The owner of record is Raymond J. Kroiss.
The legal description of the property is Lot 5, Block 2, Bryants

The building is a two story frame single family dwelling 28' x 48' .
There is erosion of the mortar joints in the limestone foundation.
The extexior of the dwelling is in a deteriorated condition. The
front and rear porchs have dryrot throughout the framing and deck
members. Window and roof trim have dryrot and pieces of trim are
loose and some have fallen off. Many of the glass windows are broken.
Gutters and downspouts are rusted.
A fire, which started on the first floor, did extensive damage through-
out the rooms an both first and second floor. In some areas of the
�ralls and ceilings of first floor, the fire penetrated through the
plaster into the framing lumber. The heat from the fire has caused
paint to blister on the wood trim and doors. Plaster is loose and
falling due to fire and water damage.
Electric fixtures and plumbing fixtures have been removed. The most
part of the wiring inside the frame walls is of knob and tube type.
The s:ubject property has been boarded up by the owner since October
27, 1972.

�2).
Inasmuch as the inadequate maintenance, dilapidation and the con-
ditions 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 contri-
butes a blighting influence on the neighborhood, it is the recom-
mendation of this bureau that this matter be referred to the City
Attorney's office for razing and removal through District Court
proceedings.
