Re: File No. 1965--814 Ocean Street
Gentlemen:
The Build.ing Department is hereby submitting its report on the
condition of the property known as 814 Ocean Street, a duplex of frame
construction, two stories in height and containing only a small hole for
a basement. It is approximately 24 ft. wid.e, 53 ft. long and 30 ft.
high. The property has been board.ed up by the Public Works crews
since it had been standing open and was extensively vandalized.
The legal description of the property is Lot 5, Block 1, Messerli and
Eschbach's Addition, and the owner of record, is the deceased August Lang.
A recent inspection indicates the following:
EXTERIOR. The front and rear porches are in a very dilapid.ated.
condition with the supporting posts showing evidence of being rotted or
pushed. out of position due to sagging. The posis supporting a rear second.
story porch are badly out of place and. the platform is sagging. The
stairway to the second floor porch has d.eteriorated with the treads bad.ly
worn, and one of the risers is missing. A shed-type lean-to ad.d.ition
at the side of the build.ing has the siding material :only partially in place �
and this consists of roof shingles used for side wall covering. The roofing
on the rest of the building is badly d.eteriorated,, the rear half of the roof
has several sections and shingles missing. All of the windows are smashed.
and in many cases the window frames and sash are also smashed,
FIRST FLOOR, Contains five rooms. The doors between the rooms
have been torn from the walls. Some of the walls are plaster finish, but
most of them are covered with an insulating board. In many areas the
walls have had. holes punched through them and the insulation board torn

Most of the plumbing fixtures have been broken or removed.
The electrical fixtures and switches have been vandalized. There is
no heating system in the building.
There is a 14x18 ft. garage, which is in a dilapidated condition
and which should be removed.

by reason of inad�quate maintenance, dilapidation, physical d.amage,
unsanitary condition and. abandonment, the above structures constitute
a hazard to public health, safety and welfare. It is hereby recommended
that the Council concur in this conclusion and refer the matter to the
City Attorney's office for submission of this condemnation to the District
