The owner of record is Carrie Wilson. The Legal description of the property is lot 3, block 24, Mackubins and Marshall Addition. The building is a two-story frame dwelling. The limestone foundation of this building is eroded and cracked. The window sills are decayed and rotten. The chimney is cracked and has loose brick. Both the front and rear porch are sagging because the footings have fallen. The interior of the first floor has been gutted by fire. Partitions are burncd and broken. The plaster is falling and the casements are rotten and burned. On the sccond floor the plaster is cracked and fallen and the window casements are rotten and missing. The roof is bowed and missing. Fire has burned through the rear. The electrical service is dist�onnectad and the plumbing has been partly removed and is in vcry poor condition. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority does not intend to aquire this property. The subject property has been boarded up by the City since September 27, 1972. Inasmuch as inadequata maintainance and the physical damage and dilap- idated 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 con- tributes a blit�hting influence on the neighborhood, it is the recommend- ation of this bureau that this matter be refer,�ed to the City Attorney' s � �,,.`. � � 1 � � � ��.1 7 y r � � ' �uly 24, 1973 office for razing and removal through District Court proceedings.

A-1-1 Dear Mr. Marshall: Attached to this letter is a copy of our letter to Mayor Lawrence D. Cohen, regarding the property at 570 Concordia Avenue. Due to limited funding, the Authority cannot purchase the subject property. In the half-block on Concordia between Dale and Kent, the Authority has acquired five of twelve parcels, The five parcels are only about one-fourth of the total land in this half-block on Concordia; therefore, the Authority does not own most of the remaind- er of the block. If we can provide additional information, feel free to contact us. Sincerely, � ��a�� Edward N. Helfeld Executive Director Anthony A. Danna, Henry R. Thomas, Rosalie L.
