Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s} af 835 Juno Avenue within fi$een (15) days from adoption of resolution. Mr. Ma�er stated the building was a one-story, wood &ame, single-family dwelling with a detached one-stall garage on a loY of 4,792 square feet and had been vacant since November 17, 2006. A code compliance inspection had been done on December 18, 2006. The vacant building registration fees were cunent and the $5,000 performance bond had been posted August 8, 2007. On 7une 25, 2007, an inspecrion of the building was done and a list of deficiencies which consritute a nuisance condition was developed. An order to abate a nuisance building was posted on July 13, 2007 with a compliance date of August 13, 2007. To date, the property remained in a condifion which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Tasation estimaYed the market value of the land to be approximately $45,000 and the building to be $75,300. Real estate tases for were current, Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be $50,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $12,000 to $15,000. There had also been four sutmnary abatements issued to this property since 2006, none of which went to work order. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr. Magner presented photographs of the property. Ms. Moermond asked how they became aware this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner stated they became awaze that there was 30 amp electrical service which was refenred by the housing inspecfor on a conection notice that had not been completed. At time, the building was vacant and secured and there were also some other violations including graffiti. The building at that time was placarded as a vacant building. Scott Jennings, representing Sunrise Prop Twin Cities Inc., appeared. Mr. Jennings stated that he intended to make the repairs to the building. His dilemma had been that at the time he posted the bond, a family member became critically ill and he was responsible for his care. He indicated that he worked for a plumbing contractor and he had relationships with other contractors who were licensed to work in St. Paul. He requested he be given six months to complete the repairs from the time that he had posted the bond. He had attempted to sell the building "as is' ; however, had been unsuccessful in doing so. He then decided he would rehab the building and then attempt to sell it. Ms. Moermond stated that it appeared Mr. Jennings kept the property in good condition as far as exterior maintenance; he had completed the code compliance inspection, and had posted the bond. What she would require is a work plan with timelines on completing the work. She explained that since he had posted the bond on August 8 and if he had not completed all of the work by February, 2008, Mr. 7ennings could request an additional six months from Licensing to complete the rehab. Ms. Moermond stated that since Mr. Jennings indicated that he was a licensed contracfor, he would need to outline the value of whatever work he may do in rehabilitating the building. The City estimated that the cost to rehabilitate the property to be $50,000 and he would need to demonstrate the equivalent value of his work. Ms. Moermond also stated that Mr. Jennings would need to demonstrate that he had the financial capacity to do the work. This could be in the form of a construcrion loan, a line of credit from a bank or a balance in a bank account that would be dedicated to this project, Ms. Moermond stated that she would require the following be submitted by Friday, November 2: 1) az approved work plan inciuding timelines for completing the wark; and 2) financial documentation demonstrating fhe ability to afford the rehabilitation. Ma Moermond also noted that the property must be maintained as part of her conditions.
