Re: File No. 1884--517-519 Iglehart �
Gentlemen:
The following is a report from the Building Department on '
the condition of the property at 517-519 Iglehart, �own as Lot 2, �
Moritz Subdivision A. The owner of record is Theodore Magnuson.
The property is a two-story frame duplex approximately ,
28 ft, wide, 64 ft, long and 28 ft, in height. There is an 18 x 16 ft.
frame garage at the rear of the property.
EXTERIOR
The chimney had the mortar eroded from the joi.nt between
the bricks, leaving the bricks loose at top and in danger of falli.ng.
The front porch has a railing-high wall that is becoming loose from the
pier supporting the second floor. The front porch steps are split and
are hazardous to walk on. The rear porches are in a near state of
collapse. The supporting posts are in danger of fa.11ing and one of the
porches is missing a supporting post and sections of the porch flooring '
are missing and the remaining parts are badly rotted. The basement 'i
window frames are rotted, the gutters have rusted through and are
hanging from the beam and most of the windows have the glass broken '�
and parts of the sash. ''
i
BASEMENT �
i
The mortar has eroded from the limestone foundation and approx-
1Triately 25 per cent of the plaster ceiling in the basement is falling and the ,
rest is loose. The concrete floor is in a badly deteriorated condition, �
;�- J•
Y
s=�
• Hon. Mayor and City Council -2- August 8, 1967 .
FIRS T FLOOR
Contains six rooms and bath. Much of the plaster is loose and
fallen from the ceilings, and the floor in the bathroom has rotted �
, out, The wood floor in the west side bedroom has buckled caused
by water getting in through the broken wi.ndow;j
SECOND FLOOR �
Contains six rooms and bath. Plaster in much of the second floor
area has fallen and the rest is loose. The floor is rotted around the �
bathroom fixtures. .r�_�
There is uncapped gas piping in the kitchen of the second floor.
Radiators have been loosened and evidently are bei.ng prepared for
removal.
� ELECTRICAL
� The electrical system is in a hazardous condition with the outlets
ptil.led out of the walls. T'he fixtures are hanging loose from the
ceiling and there are exposed wires feeding a light in the second floor
hall.
GAR.AGE ,
The garage at the rear of the property is full of rubbish and the ,
frame construction is showing evidence of rot around the roof boards.
The roofi.ng material is loose or pulled off. The siding is rotted around
the windows which are broken, and one large door is pulled off and other ,
doors are hanging loose on their hinges and coming apart. The walls �
�are bulging, i.ndicating that the structure is in danger of collapse.
. �
Therefore, it is the opinion of this department that the ab�`ove described �
buildings constitute a hazard to public health, safety a.n.d welfare. It is �
the further reconzinendation of the City Architect that the Council concur �, .
in this conclusion and refer the matter to the City Attorney's office for �
preparation for submis sion of this condemnation to the District Court, I�
and the completion of the condemnation proceedings. _ �',
