The owners of record are Wilbert P. and Mary Lou Buettner and the legal description of the property is Lot 21, Block 13, Hager' s Sub of Walcott' s Addition. The structures on this property are a lZ story frame dwelling and a 16 ' x 22 ' frame garage. The porch of the house has bean vandalized and part of it is tarn down. The roof has holes due to a fire. Part of the wood siding has been removed. Part of the chimney is missing. The basement has a six foot ceiling height and a fire has badly charred the structural members . The first floor is badly vandalized, windows and doors torn out and plaster broken from the walls. Part of the stairs to the se- cond floor has been removed. The plumbing, heating and electrical systems �,ave been vandalized. �he 16 ' x 22 ' frame garage is dilapidated and in a hazardous condition. The subject property has been boarded up by the city since October 26 , 1971. 55 j � . Honorable Lawrence Cohen, and Members of the City Council June 13, 1972 (2) The Housing and Redevelopment Authority is not in the process of �quiring or intending to acquire this property. Inasmuch as the conditions outlined above constitute a public hazard and the owner has made no attempt to satisfactorily re- pair the damage despite our warnings, and the continued vacant and boarded up condition contributes a blighting effect 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.
