AMES, Ci+y Archi+ect 445 City Hall, 55102 May 2, 1968 , Honorable Thomas R. Byrne, Mayor and Members of the City Council Re: File No. 1929--288 Front Street Gentlemen: The Building Department is hereby submitting its report on the condition of the property known as 288 Front Street, a single family frame dwelling one story in height approximately 16'6�' wide, 37' long and 20 ' in height. It has only a partial basement, located in the kitchen area, approximately 12' x 12'. The building is vacant and apparently abandoned. It has recently been boarded up by the Public Works: Department. EXTERIOR. It is noted by our inspector that some of the roll roofing material has blown off the roof, the window sills are rotted, and almost all of the window s ashes and frames are rotted. The cornice trim boards are rotting and there are holes in several places through the siding material. BA5EMENT. The excavated portion approximately 12' square has only a dirt floor, and a portion of the rear wall is missing. There is evidence that the joist supporting posts are badly rotted. The only access to the bas ement is through a trap door in the kitchen. FIRST FLOOR, Contains four rooms and a bath. Floors are sagging, due to the failure of the supporting joists. There are holes through the interior walls, floors and ceilings. The plaster is badly cracked, loose and falling from the interior walls and ceilings. The building is starting to move off the foundation, probably due to failure of the supporting foundation and the rotting of the first floor joists. The plumbing system is inoperable in that the bathtub, toilet and kitchen sink are no longer connected to either water or waste piping. The electrical system is inoperable due to the fixtures and �switching, and most of the wiring has been removed. There is no heating system in the building. f , � .: w, � � � Hon. Thomas R. Byrne, Mayor and Members of the City Council -2- May 2, 1968 A 1Ox14' shed is in a dilapidated condition at the rear of the property. It has no foundation and is considered to be beyond reas onable2 repair. If it is the opinion of the owners of this property that it can be rehabilitated, it will be necessary that they submit the list of corrections which they propose regarding the structural condition of the building, as well as the electrical, plumbing and heating systems, with a schedule for the completion of the rehabilitation program, along with the application for permits. If the foregoing schedule is not submitted by the owners, it is the conclusion of the Bureau of Public Buildings that by reason of inadequate maintenance, dilapidation, physical damage, unsanitary condition and abandonment, the above structures constitute a hazard to public health, . safety and welfare. It is the further recommendation of the City Architect that the Council concur in this conclusion and refer the matter to the City AtEorney's office for submission of this con�.emnation to the District Court. ._...�._..,___ e y t yours, � .
