The o�,aner of record is Michael Reid Polk, Mary L. Polk Adminis- tratrix and the legal description of the property is Lot 5, Whit- ing' s Subd. of Marshall's Subd. Lot 8, Block 27 of Mackubin and Marshall's Addition. The building is a three story frame duplex 40 ' x 96 ' . The bricks of the chimney are loose. The front and rear porches are decayed and the cornice, doors, windows and frames are rotted. The windows of the first floor have been broken, the fireplace has been smashed, and the plaster is broken and missing. The plaster on the second floor is cracked and checked. The electrical and plumbing systems have been vandalized and the fixtures are missing. The subject property has been boarded up by the city since Decem- ber 9 , 1971. The cost of keeping this building secure has been $747. 85. This property is located in the Summit-University NDP project but the Housing and Redevelopment Authority has no intention of acquiring the property at this time. Inasmuch as the conditions outlined above constitute a public hazard and the owner has made no attempt to satisfactorily repair the dam- age despite our warnings, and the continued vacant and boarded up 55 /,�� U � � � Madam President and • Members of the City Council July 5, 1972 (2) condition contributes to the blighting influence on the neigh- borhood, 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.
