The owners of record are Bert A. and Annabel Bailey and Shirley N. Bailey (Mrs. Duane) and the legal description of the property is the North 40 feed of Lots 15 and 16 , Block 4 , Lewis ' Addition to St. Paul. This is a 2 story, 36 ' x 42 ' frame 4 unit apartment. A recent inspection indicates that nearly all of the windows are broken. The exterior frame stairway used as a second means of egress is not structurally sound due to dry rot. There is evi- dence tht the roof leaks as the ceiling tile is stained and the plaster ceilings are loose and falling. The roof on the south side sags and the chimney on the south side is deteriorated at the roof line. Asbestos siding is broken and pieces are missing. Soffit, fascia and window sash are rotted. The basement is damp because of the porous foundation. MortAr is missing in places in the foundation. There is evidence of dry rot throughout the building. The interior of the building has been vandalized and is rapidly deteriorating. The floors sag and floor covering is missing. The plaster walls have large areas where the plaster has fallen or has been torn off. A great deal of debris litters the floors of the apartments. The bathroom floor on the second floor is buck- ling and has dry rot. � _ � � ,,,,,F. . ._ . r � Madam President and Members of the City Council July 5, 1972 (2� Some of the plumbing fixtures have been removed leaving open waste lines which expel sewer gas. The electrical system is inadequate. The heating is by space heaters. The subject property has been boarded up by the city since Dec- ember 2, 1971. This is the second time that the City Council has been asked for a public hearing regarding this property. In � July of 1968 this matter was referred to the office of the City Attorney but the owner repaired and tenants occupied the building in 1969. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority does not intend to acquire this property. Inasmuch as the conditions outlined above consitutue a public hazard and the owner has made no attempt to satisfactorily repair the damage despite our warnings and the cantinued 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.
