The owners i of record are Eugene R. and Joan M. Shields, 1834 Dodd Road. The � legal description of the property is Lot 9, Block 3, Lytonts Addition j to Saint Paul. The condition of the property is as follows: i The building is a two-story dwelling of wood frame con- � struction, approximately 30 ft. wide, 54 ft. long and 22 ft. high. The building is vacant, standing open, and has been subjected to � extensive vandalism. i . � THE EXTERIOR ', The side is in very poor condition and has approximately i . � 175 sq. ft. missing. The rear porch has been removed and has left � a 1x14-ft. square hole in the foundation. Two rear doors have been removed and all the windows are missing. ! THE BASEMENT ' I There is only a half excavation for basement, and it � has a dirt floor. The windows are broken out and removed. The access ' to the basement area is through a trap door in the basement stairs. r The stairs are in poor condition. There is evidence that the wood � joists supporting the first floor are rotted where they bear on the ' foundation walls. The limestone foundation is badly eroded with the � mortar deteriorated in the joints. � � THE FIRST FLOOR � The first floor contains £our rooms and bath. There are � no plumbing fixtures in the bathroom. All the floors have sagged and ' buckled. All windows are missing. There are large holes in the . plaster throughout the entire floor. The interior doors and all the ! interior trim have been removed. I . � � � i i � i � � � Hqn. Thomas R. Byrne, Mayor ,! and Members of the City Council -2- May 23, 1967 I THE SECOND FLOOR • The second floor contains five rooms��and b�th. Approx- ; imately 50 sq. ft. of .plaster has fallen down in the stairwell. The � windows, doors and the trim have all been removed. The floors are � sagging. There is approximately 160 sq. ft. of plaster fallen in the other rooms. The remaining plaster is in a badly cracked and loose � condition. The stairway railing has been removed.

They have all been removed. j ELECTRICAL i There are no electrical fixtures remaining on the first , or second floors and there is no heating system in the building. ; The rear yard is also littered with considerable debris. i If it is the opinion of the owners of this property that , it can be rehabilitated, it will be necessary that they submit a list of the corrections that they propose to make regarding the structural , condition of the building, and the electrical, plumbing and heating systems, plus a schedule for the completion of the rehabilitation , program and an application for the permits. ' In the meantime it will be necessary that the property ; • be secured in such a fashion so as to prevent entrance by unauthorized' persons and all combus�ible materials be removed from the interior of the structure. If this alternative is not taken, it is the ! conclusion of the Bureau of Public Buildings that by reason of ; inadequate maintenance, dilapidation, physical damage and unsanitary ' conditions and abandonment, this building constitutes a hazard to ' public health, safety and welfare. It is the further recommendation of the City Architect that the Council concur in this conclusion, refer the matter to the City Attorney�'s office for preparation for I submission of this condemnation to the District Court and the completion of the condemnation proceedings.
