and Members of the City Council
Re: 450 E. Minnehaha Ave. , _
Gentlemen:
,.�
The property at 450 E. Minnehaha Ave. is classified as a
duplex of frame construction, two stories in' height and
contains a partial basement. The building is approximately
18 feet wide, 46 feet long and 26 feet high. There are no
accessory buildings on the premises.
EXTERIOR
The chimney bricks are loose caused by the mortar being
eroded away. The condition of the roof is very poor, portions
of siding are missing, the window casing and sills are
rotted and there are holes through the exterior wall. Some
of the roof sheeting is rotting where the roofing is missing,
the cornice trim boards are rotted, the front porch is in a
poor condition with the supporting posts beginning to rot,
the lime stone foundation is beginning to deteriorate caused
by the mortar eroding from between the stones. The basement
windows are badly rotted, the window areaways are mostly
filled with dirt, one section of the lime stone foundation is
beginning to collapse on the south side of the building.
FIRST FLOOR
The first floor contains four rooms and bath. The kitchen
floor has begun��to sag. The plaster board is becoming loose
from the walls. The bathroom has a large hole in the floor
and the dining room floor is in poor condition and plaster is �
beginning to fall from the walls. A large amount of plaster
t��.+
f
d . .�r '
r
-2- May 16, 1968
has fallen from the bedroom walls. The plaster in the living
room is in poor condition and is ready to fall.
SECOND FLOOR
The second floor contains four rooms and a bath. The kitchen
floor is rotting, the plaster is falling from the walls,
also the floor is sagging. The bathroom floor is rotting and
there is a hole through one of the walls. The dining room
window sash is smashed and the floor sags. The bedroom ceiling
tiles are loose and in danger of falling caused by water
leaking through the roof. There are also holes in the floor.
The plaster is falling from the walls in the living room and
the ceiling plaster is deteriorated and in danger of falling
caused by the leaking roof.
ATTIC
The attic has holes in the roof, the window sash is missing.
The plumbing system has been damaged by vandals with part of
the plumbing torn from the walls. The electrical system is
in poor condition with the fixtures being torn from the ceiling
in the second floor. The electrical service in both the �
bedxoom and bathroom has been disconnected at the exterior of
the building.
If it is the opinion of the owner of this property that it can
be rehabilitated, it will be necessary that he 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 aforementioned schedule is not submitted by the owner�
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
structure constitutes a hazard to public health, safety and,
welfare. It is further the recommendation of the City Architect
that the Council concur in this conclusion and refer the matter
to the City Attorney' s office for submission of this condemna-
tion to the District Court.
