Gentlemertz ,
FolTowing is a report of the Building Department on conditions of
the property known as 618 James Avenue (also known as 457 Tor�onto
Street} , owned by F�anc3.s E. and Betty Ann Young� as �joint tenants,
and the following appear to have an interestx Bayr Incorporated,
a Minnesota Corporationt and Northern Federal Savings and Loan
Associa�ion. �
The �legal description of the property is, All of Lot 1, Block 31, ,
except the West 50 feet thereof, Thomas D�ly�s Subdivision of '
Blocks No. 18 and 31 in Stinson, Brown and Ramseyss Addition to �
Sairrt �aul. �
Inspection was made on November 18, 1966, and again on December �
27, ' 1966, and the following report was made on the property as
described above. The property is classified as a two-family dwe11-
ing of wood frame construction, two and one--half stories in height, � '
with a 13.mestorie basement� The building is approximately 32 f eet ,
wide, 38 f eet long and 28 f eet high. At the present time the '
building is vacant and is standing open.� . �
EXTERIOR � �
The , chimney mortar j oint's have eroded arid ar-e in need of repair to I
prevent the bricks from falling, The exterior _stairways, both front
and rear, are in a dilapidated condition and are hazardous. The
wood flooring and .supports af the porches have rotted and the porch
roofs are sagging badly� There are sections of siding loose and �

�rames are rotted, and the doors are hanging loose on the hinges. ,

Bl1�71-+1V1.L=.1V l '
The basement mortar joints a�ce badly eroded arrd the walls are ,
erumbling. The structural members supp�orting the building are
in a dilapidated condition an:d �how evidence of dry rot� The
concrete flovr is in poor shape as 3.t is cracked, b�oken and �
deteriflrating�. I
FIRST� FLOOR i
There is indication that the first floor jois.ts and }�eams are !
sagged, which is pr�obably caused by the rotting as listed under
the basement� The rooms are littered with considerable debris�
The building is not heated artd the electric service has been dis--
connected. � -
Th� ir�spectvr was unable to check the second floor or attic of the i
property, but does riote from the exterior that the roof is sagging. _
It is' the conclusion of this department that the building is in a
very dilapidated conditiorr and is too far deteriflrated to be
practical to repair.
If it is the apinion of the owners of thi� property that it can . � I
be rehabilitated, it will be necessary that they submit the list
of the corrections they propose to make regarding tY�e stru�titral �
cor�ditior� of the build3.ng, ele�trical arrd heating systems, with a �
sc�hedule fo�c the completion of the rehabilitation program, along � �
with the application for the permits� In the meantime it will be '
necessary that the property be prope�ly se.cured so as to prevent
entrance by ur�authorized persons, and all combustible materials �
remo�ed frqm the inter3or of the structure.
If this alternative is riot taken, it is the conclusion of the �
Bureau of Public Buildings that by reason of inadequate maintenance, '
d�lapidation, physical damage, unsanitary conditiorr and aba�rdonment
that th3.s building constitutes a hazard to public heaJ.th, safety
and welfare. It is the further recommendation of the Gity Aschitect
that the Council hold a public hearir�g at ten o•�clock A.M. on �
Tnursday, March 16, 1967 to consider the advisability and necessity ,
of ordering� the, correction or wrecking and removal of the structure �
on the sub�ect propertyy and that the City Architect, o� behalf of
the City Counsil, notify by m�il the record owner of the property I
3.n question at the last known add�ress; �s well as other interested ' •
persorrs of recoxd, of the date and time of this hearing�
