Byrne, Mayor ' and Members of the City Council Re: File No. 1907--944 Payne Avenue f . ` I } Gentlemen: #` " � -� The property at 944 Payne Ave�ue is a building us ed as commercial ��on the first floor and apartments on the second floor. It is two stories in height, of frame construction and approximately 24 feet wide, 78 feet long and 3 6 feet in 'height. The buildi.ng has only a partial bas ement. � At tlze present time the building is vacant and has been secured at our request by the Department of Public Works under an emergency procedure. The following speci.fic items have been reported by our field inspector on an i.nspection made September 9, 19_67: EX TERIOR ' The chimney is in a very hazardous condition. Approximately half of it has fallen away already, and the other half is i.n danger of falling. When it falls, it would fall on to public property. The windows are almost all broken, the siding on the south side of the building is loose and rotted, t'he cornice boards are rotted and lianging loose, and some siding has•been broken on t�he north side. The basement is littered with debris. The supporti.ng posts are rotting, the joists show evidence of rotting and some have been repaired in the past due to the advanced rotti.ng. The i chimney s ection expos ed in the bas ement h.as deteriorated and is in need of repair. T`he toi.let room in the basement is not provided with any window or mechanical ventilation. i . FIR.S T FLOOR � On the first floor, which contains two rooms and a toilet room, the _ room at the front was used as a restaurant at one time. The walls have been smashed, the floors are buckled and the floor tile nas been broken up. The light fixtures have been removed and the floors are sagging. The plumbing r ; � 1 � � i � . - ► . • �y„ � � i Hon. Thomas R. Byrne, Mayor and Members of the City Council -2- September 19, 1967 fixtures in the toilet room have been removed, as have t'he radiators. A room at t'he rear has had the lig'ht fixtures removed from the ceiling and the plumbing fixtures removed as well. The ceiling tile is falling. � SECOND FLOOR � On t'he second floor, which contains six rooms and two toilet rooms, t'he three rooms at the front of the building have wall tile buckled. The ceiling tile is falling and tlzere is no ventilation in t'hes e three rooms as the glas s s as�i are in fixed position, The toilet rooms lzave �had the plumbing fixtures removed and the rooms do not have the minimum requirement of light and ventilation. There is evidence that the room at the rear is� being damaged by a leaki.ng roof. The ceiling tile is falling and the floors are�buckling. There is only one means of egress from the second floor, where the building .ocle requires that living units above commercial occupancy must be provided wi.t'h two means of egress. � ATTIC � � T`he attic is littered with debris' and approximately 25 per cent of the � plaster in a room in the attic 'has fallen. If it is the opinion of the owners of this property that it can be rehabilitated, it will be necessary t'hat they submit the list of corrections which tliey propose regarding the structural condition of the buildi.ng, as well as the electrical, plumbing and heating systems, with a schedule for tlie completion of the rehabilitation program, along with the application for permits, : If the foregoing schedule is not submitted by the owners, it is the conclu- sion of the Bureau of Public Buildings tliatby reason of inadequate maintenance, dilapidation, physical damage, unsanitary condition and abandonment, the above structure constitutes a hazard to public liealth, safety and welfare. It is the further conclusion of the City Architect that they recomrriend that the Council concur in t'his conclusion and refer the matter to the City Attorney�s office for submi.ssion of this condemnation to the District Court. er ruly our , I � obert L.
