Subject: File No. 192'7 --
852 Concordia Avenue
Dear Sir: �
The Coun.cil held a hearing on the above-described hazardous
building on February 20, 1968, and at that time directed that the
building be corrected or wre:cked.
The State of Min.nesota and Ramsey County have Old Age
Assistance Liens on this property, and I had contacted Mr. Robert
J. Moore of the Welfare Department on February 28, 1968, in regard
to what the county wished to do with the building. At that time
Mr. Moore informed me that the county would sell the property and
require that the new owner wreck the hazardous building. On May 13
I again contacted Mr. Moore to determine whether he had sold the
property; and by letter dated May 15, 1968, a copy of which is
attached hereto, Mr. Moore informed me that he has been unable to
sell the property.
The attached resolution orders and directs that the hazardous
buildirig at 852 Concordia be wrecked or removed and if not that the
City of Saint Paul will wreck the same an.d assess its costs against
the property in the form of a special assessment.
Will you please arrange to have this resolution published
four on i e Saint Paul Legal Ledger; and upon its
a option by the Council, return to me ten (10) certified copies of
the same.
Yours very truly,
.

BUREAU OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS ROBERT L. AMES, City Architec+ 445 City Hall, 55102 223-4212
February 20, 1968
Honorable Thomas R. Byrne, Mayor
and Members of the City Council
Re: File No, 1927--852 Concordia
Gentlemen:
The Building Department is hereby submitting its report on the
condition of the property known as 852 Concordia Street, a single family frame
dwelling, one and one-half stories in height, approximately 16 ft, wide, 45 ft.
' long and 26 ft, high. The building is vacant at the present time and has been
secured. However, it is generally dilapidated, with the following conditions
in evidence.
The chimney mortar joints have eroded, causing the bricks to be
loose. The exterior wood siding is beginning to rot and loosen due to lack of
exterior maintenance and paint. T'he porches, both front and rear, and the
steps serving them are rotting. The rain gutters have rusted out. T'he roof
is sagging. 'We have not been able to check the interior of the property because
it has been kept secured. However, this department has received a letter from
Mr. Haines 5abean, Administrator of the Estate of Charles Kundschier, and
attorney for the County Welfare Department, indicating that there is a welfare
lien against the property in the amount of $13, 108 and that they have no plans
for re'habilitating the property but have offered it for sale.
It is t'herefore the conclusion of the Bureau of Public Buildings that
by reas on of inadequate maintenance, dilapidation, physical damage, uns'.anitary
condition and abandonment, the above structure constitutes a hazard to public
health, s:aEety and welf�a.re. It is the further recomrriendation of the writer that
the Council concur and refer the matter to the City Attorney for submission of
this condemnation to District Court.
