July 23, 1968
Hon. Tliomas R. Byrne, Mayor
and Members of the City Council
Gentle�en: Re: 878 Park St.
The following is a report on the above property, which is a
2-story frarne four unit apartment building with a partial basement. The
building is approximately 34 ft. wide and 42 ft. long and 26 ft. high. It
is locat�ed about 5 ft. from the south property line and 5 ft. from the
sidewalk property line. The building has not been properly secured,
and we have been iri communication with Mr. Duane A. Bailey of 318
Topping 5treet on several occasions and have only received a partial
s ecuring.
EXTERIOR. � �
1. The foundation is in a deteriorated condition and needs
repair.
2. The siding is badly deteriorated and should be replaced
3. The cornice has dry rot throughout.
4. The entire rear exterior stairway is in a deteriorated
arid dangerous condition due to dry rot.
5. The window frames are deteriorated and have d.ry rot.
6. There are four brick chimneys which are deteriorated
and in a dangerous condition. These chimneys have
eroded. mortar joints and the bricks are falling and
c ruxnbling.
7. The structural members have some dry rot.
�ASEMENT.
1. The beams in the basement are sagging.
2. There is dry rot on the bottom of the wood posts that
support the beams, and these posts have settled.

� Hon. Thomas R. Byrne, Mayor -
and Members of the City Council -2- July 23, 19'68
� 3. The foundation is porous and allows the surface water
to enter into the basement.
4. A great deal of debris litters the basement area.
5. There are 2x4 floor joists on the first floor that need
proper support.
FIR.5T AND SECOND FLOORS
L '1'he floor joists have deflected, causing the floors to sag.
2. There is deteriorated floor covering material over the
finished floor.
3. There is some weak and deteriorated finished flooring.
4. Windows and window sashes are in a deteriorated condition.
5. Dry rot exists i.n the structural members.
6. There are areas where there is loose plaster.
7. Hinges are loose from the doors.
ATTIC.
1. A fire occurred in the attic area and the structural members
that were charred were not replaced. The rafters and roof
� boards are badly charred. There is evidence of some rotted
roof board and it is doubtful that the roof would carry the required
40-1b. live load specified by the St. Paul Building Code.
If a rehabilitation 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 and abandonment, the above
structure constitutes a hazard to public health, safety and welfare. It is
the fur�ther recommendation of the City Architect that the Council concur in
this conclusion and refer the matter to the City Attor;iey's office for submi ssion
of this condemnation to the District Court.
