Byrne, Mayor and Members of the City Council Re: File No. 1951--28 E. Sycamore �' Gentlemen: � - The Building Department is hereby submitting its report on the condition of the property known as 28 E. Sycamore, a single family dwelling of frame construc- tion, one and one-half stories in height, containing a partial basement. The building ' is approximately 20 ft. wide,40 ft, long and 26 ft. ,high. At the present time, the property is vacant, not properly secured and has been extensively damaged by vandals. There is a shed at the rear of the property which is also vacant and open. The owner of record is the deceased Margaret Kinney, et al, and the legal description of'the property is Lot 9, Block 3, Drakets 2nd Addition to the City of � 5aint Paul. A recent description of the property discloses the following: � EXTERIOR � - y � � Most of tlie windows are broken along with portions of the window sash. The windowsills ar.e rotting, as are the window casings. Sections of the imitation brick siding are loose and falling from the building in several places. The front and rear stoops are wood floors and are badly rotted and deteriorated. The main roof has a distinct sag at its ric�`ge line. . BA5EMENT , ' The basement stairs are worn, very steep, and considered dangerous. There are no handrails. There is only a dirt floor in the basement and the beams supporting the joists are rotted, as are the ends of the j�oists where they bear on the foundation. The mortar joists and limestone foundation are eroded away, causing the stones - to be loose. FIRS T FLOOR � ` Contains four rooms and bath. The bathroom plaster is falling from the ceiling, the kitchen plaster has fallen from the section adjacent to the chimney. The floors are also sagging. The dining room floor is very badly sagged, d.ue to deterioration of the floor joists and supporting beam. This condition is the sarne in the living room. .� � ��• ` , / May� Thomas R. Byrne and Members of the City Council -2- September 3, 1968 5ECOND FLOOR Contains two rooms, which are also in a deteriorated condition. The plumbing system is inoperative, as the stool has been torn from the floor and is piled in the kitchen. This causes an open sewer into the bathroom. The heating system was by gas space heater in the dining room and a small oil heater in the kitchen. The kitchen heater has been vandalized and is lying on its side. ACCE5SORY BUILDING There is a frame 14' x 16' accessory building on the rear of the lot. It has a cl.irt floor, and the rafter ends are rotted and standing open. The inside is littered with debris and oil storage druins. . 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 aforementioned schedule is not submitted by the owners, it is the conclusion � of the Bureau of Public Building"s that by reason of iriad.-equate maintenance, dilapidation, ...,.,� physical damage, unsanitary condition and abandonment, the above structures constitute a hazard:to public health, safety and welfare. It is the further recomYrienda- tion of the City Architect that the Council concur in this conclusion and refer the matter to the City Attor,ney's office for submission of t'his condemnation to the District Court. � . ry rul ou s, � Robert L.
