The building is ap�proximately 22 ft. wid.e, 48 ft. long and. 32 ft . high. The owner of record. is Angelo Del Castillo, and. the legal d,escription of the property is the Easterly one half of Lot 5, Block 13, Ashton and. Sherburne Ad.dition. At the present time the build.ing is vacant and standing open. It has been extensively damaged by fire late last fall and this department has been unsuccessful in having the owner assume his responsibility to remove or keep the property secure. It has also been d.amaged by vand.als. A recent inspection indicates the following: EXTERIOR. Some of the cornice board.s are missing, others are charred. The front porch shows some evidence of fire d.amage. Some of the asbestos re-sid.ing material is missing. Most of the wind.ows are broken, including sash and .frames. BASEMENT. The stair tread.s are smashed. and some of the supporting floor joists appear to be rotted. There is an open sewer in the basement allowing sewer gas to back up into the building. FIR.5T FLOOR. Contains four rooms and. bath. The plaster is off the wall.s and. ceiling in the kitchen, two bedrooms and. bath due to fire d.amage. The kitchen cabinets have been smashed. and. the interior is littered. with fire d.ebris. . - � . Hon. Thomas R. Byrne, Mayor and Members of the City Council -2- March 20, 1969 SECOND FLOOR. Contains five rooms and bath. The kitchen floor has sagged.. There are holes in the walls. The floor has sagged. also in the d.ining room and living room. The rear interior stair- way als o has smashed. stair treads. The plumbing system has been d.amaged. by vandals who have stri�pped. the lead. from the cast iron calk joints. The heating system is also inoperative as the heating air pipes have been torn out. Inasmuch as a reha�silitation schedule has not been submitted by the owner, it is the conclusion of the Bureau of Public Buildings that by reason of inadequate maintenance, d.ila�pid.ation, physical damage, unsanitary condition and. aband.onment, the above structure constitutes 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 submis- sion of this condemnation to the District Court. ,er tru y u , � Robert L. e City Architect RLA/mfs cc: Mess:rs.
