Byrne, Mayor and Mernbers of the City Council ������ � Re: File No. 1928--419 N. Western Gentlemen: The Buildi.ng Department is hereby submitting its report on the condition of the property known as ',419 N. Western, a single family dwelling of frame construction, two stories in height, containing only a partial basement. The � building is approximately 30 ft, wide, 28 ft, long and 28 ft. in height. The property is vacant, stand.ing open, and has been vandalized. We have had correspondence and conversations with Twin City Federal Savings and Loan Association, one of the owners of the property, and they have indicated to us that the property was to be rehabilitated. We had issued Permit No. 73970 for some repair,s; however, several months have gone by and the repair work has not been started other than removal of some of the interior plaster. The building has not been kept secure, and we have constantly been after the owners to proceed with the rehabilitation and keep the property secure with no success. The exterior of the�building is covered vcrith excess siding which has become broken, and several pieces are missing. The front porch has some of its structural members and the flooring rotting. The cornice trim boards are rotting, the window frames are rotting, and the rear porch, roof, floor and structural members are rotting. The chimney bricks and mortar joints are deteriorated, causing the bricks to be loose, and the foundation shows some signs of failing. j The basement area; approximately 9 ft, wide x 15 ft, long, has an exposed limestone foundation with mortar eroding from between the stones, causing them to be loose. There is evidence that the sub-flooring is rotted.. Approximatel y 30 per cent of the floor is dirt, and the rest is a badly deteriorated concrete. The steps to the basement have split treads, no handrail and the windo,w frames are rotted. � All the plaster 'has Ibeen removed from the walls on the first floor, and the window s�as.hes and frames are broken with most of the sashes missing. The . i - i , +,� � . . � ` I � ,� - Honorable Thomas R. Byrne, Mayor and Members of the City Council Page Two May 2, 1968 ' four rooms have floors which are sagging and buckled. Some of the flooring is missing from one of the other rooms, and there is a large hole through the � floor in one of the closets. The stairway from first to second floor has missing handrails, and the guard rail at the second floor level is also missing. The second floor, containing four rooms and a bath, are all in poor condition due to rotting. The bathroom lavatory has been torn from the wall, the plaster is off all the bathroom walls and the windows are completely rnissing. There are no acces s ory buildings o n the property. If it is the opinion of the owners of this property that it can be rehabilitated, it will be neces sary that they submit the list of corrections which they propos e 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 subrnitted, it is the conclusion of the Bureau of Public Build.ings that by reason of inadequate maintenance, dilapidation physical damage, unsanitary cond.ition and abandonment, the above structure constitutes a��hazard to public health, welfare and safety, It is the further conclusion of this Bureau that the matter should be referred to the City � Attorney's office for submitting to the District Court, and we respectfully so recommend . � Very tr y urs, � Ro e . e � Ci rchitect RLA/mf s � cc: Messrs.
