and Members of the City 'Council
Re: File #1983--805 Dayton
Gentlemen:
The Building Department is hereby submitting its report on the
condition of the property known as 805 Dayton Avenue, a 2-1/2 story frame
dwelling, recently used. as an apartment house, approximately 30 ft. wid.e, 60 ft.
long and 30 ft. in height. A 20 ft. by 30 ft. garage building at the rear of the
property is also includ.ed. At the present time the resid.ence building is
vacant, has been extensively vandalized and has not been kept secure.
The owner of record is Donald T. Boyce, and the legal description
of the property is Lot 15, Block 2, Nininger & Donnelly's Add.ition to Holcombe's
Addition to Saint Paul.
, A recent inspection indicates the following:
EXTERIOR. The front porch joists are rotted. The exterior siding
has deteriorated. and sections are missing. Part of the exterior sidewall
protection is of wood. shakes, some of which are missing. The front porch
roof is rotted, and. the roof shingles are in very poor cond.ition, also. The
chimney bricks are loos e due to deterioration of the mortar joints. The wood.
sills supporting the front porch roof posts are beginning to rot and the roof
at the rear of the building is also in poor condition. The limestone foundation has the
mortar joints eroded, causing the stones to be loose. The concrete floor is
badly broken and generally in poor cond.ition. The handrail has been removed
from the bas ement stairway.
FIRST FLOOR. Contains five rooms and bath. The bathroom floor
is rotted, and about 14 sq. ft. of plaster has fallen from the walls and ceilings.
In the kitchen the plaster has also fallen from the ceiling, as it has in the living
room.

Mayor Thomas R. Byrne and
Members of the City C4uncil -2- June 24, 1969
SECOND FLbOR. Contains three two-room apartments.
One sleeping room has plaster d.eteriorated and the bathroom floor badly
rotted.
THIRD FLO R. Contains one three-room and one two-room apartment.
Als o has plastered wall;s loos e and. in poor condition. Most of the windows and.
screens have been sma�hed on this property. Damage has also been done to
the wind.ow frames and the sash.
ELECTRICAt, AND PLUMBING SYSTEMS. The electric system
is to be considered. in hazardous condition due to overloading of the existing
service, the open junction boxes in the basement ceiling and open splices.
Extension cords are used. throughout the build.ing for wiring systems, and. many
of the fixtures are damaged to the extent that they would. be very difficult to
repair.
The plumbing, system is considered to be substandard in that the
plumbing has been dam�.ged by vandals and also that it was in very poor shape
at the time the build.ing was occupied. The pipes were leaking, as is evidenced.
by water d.amage to the ceiling below the upstairs bathroom.
GARAGE. As to the garage at the rear of the property, inspection
reveals that the roofing 'system deteriorated to the point of its leaking in many
areas. The concrete floor is badly broken up and. deteriorated. The timber
sills are rotted and. the �iding has rotted. The garage doors are in such
condition that they are ready to fall. They have been loosely boarded and placed
but have sagged. to the e�tent that they probably could not be reopened. The
roof also shows evidenc� of sagging due to a structural failure.
Inasmuch as �, rehabilitation schedule has not been submitted by
the owner, it is the con�lusion of the Bureau of Public Buildings that by reason
of inadequate maintenan�e, dilapidation, physical damage, ursanitary condition and
abandonment, the above 'structure constitutes a hazard to public health,
safety and welfare. It i� hereby recommended that the Council concur in this
conclusion and refer to �he City Attorney's office this matter for eventual
condemnation to the DisUrict Court.
