Honorable Charles McCarty, and Members of the City Council April 19 , 1972 (2) The attic has a hole in the ceiling and still shows evidence of a fire at one time. The electrical wiring is illegal and inadequate. The plumbing is old and vandalized. It is not properly vented and there is evidence of sewer gas. Water is provided from a well on the property. The subject property has been boarded up by the city since December 9 , 1971. Inasmuch as the 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 recom- mendation of this bureau that this matter be referred to the City Attor- ney' s Office for razing and removal through District court proceedings.
