Dangerous. �
Plumbing, Heating and Electrical Systems: All systems removed or
vandalized.
Accessory Buildings: A 33' x 48' shed at rear, frame construction,is in a
deteriorated and shabby condition. Structural members failing.
Although the owner boarded up the first floor windows last August, the.:.

' .� Hon. Charles, McCarty, Mayor
and Members of the City Council -2- January 6, 1971
It is the opinion of our inspector that the above buildings constitute
a public hazard and the owner has made no attempt to satisfactorily repair the
damage despite our warnings, Therefore, it is our recommendation that this
matter be referred to the City Attorney's office for razing and removal through
District Court proceedings.
