Byrne, Mayor and Members of the City Council Re: File No. 1935--790 Capitol Heights Gentlemen: The Building Department is hereby submitting its report on the condition of the property known as 790 Capitol Heights, a duplex dwelling and detached shed. The owner of record is the Midwest Federal Savings and Loan Association. The legal description of the property is the westerly one half of Lot 5, Block 13, Ashton and Sherburne's Addition to Saint Paul. A re�ent inspection indicates the following: EXTERIOR. Size 23'x48'x24'. Partial basement. 5iding deteriorating, the cornice has dry rot and part of one chimney has deteriorated to the point where part has fallen dpwn. The screens are torn, 7 windows removed, and the rear exterior stairs have dry rot and are broken. BA5EMENT. The ends of the joists and posts have dry rot. The basement stairway is in very poor condition, and the floor was found to be littered with debris. FIRST FLOOR. 4 rooms and bath. The floors sag, plaster is falling off the walls and. ceiling, window:s are out in all the rooms, the bathroom floor is rotting due to excessive moisture, plaster is broken and the sink and bathtub have been removed. SECOND FLOOR. 4 rooms and bath. The plaster has fallen off the walls and ceiling, the floors sag, windows are broken out, rooms are littered with debris, the doors and trim are in very poor condition and the plaster is falling off the stairway walls. �- . �" Hon. Thomas R. Byrne, Mayor � • � and Members of the City Council -2- March 5, 1970 PLUMBING. The fixtures have been rexnoved, and some of the pipes were left uncapped. Water was found to be running into the basement. The shed at the rear of the lot measures 20'x24', is poorly built and has a dirt floor which was found to be littered with debris. It has extensive fire damage . Because the dwelling was open and van�ala:.zed, on February 24, 1970, the City Council ordered the Public Works crews to sacta.re all openings. On March 2, 1970, our inspector reports that it is still secure. Inasmuch as the above structure constitutes a hazard to public health, safety and welfare by reason of inadequate maintenance, d.ilapidation, physical damage and abandonment, it is the recommendatio� of the Bureau of Public Buildings that this matter be referred to the City Attorney for condemnation through the District Court.
