Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 81 Western Avenue South within fifteen (15) days from adoption ofresolution. Mr. Magner stated the building was a one and one-half story, wood frame, single-fanuly dwelling with a wood shed on a lot of 4,792 squaze feet and had been vacant since September 21, 2006. A code compliance inspection had not been done, the vacant building registration fees were delinquent in the amount of $375 and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On June 28, 2007, an inspection of the building was done and a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance condition was developed. An order to abate a nuisance building was posted on July 23, 2007 with a compliance date of August 22, 2007. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Rauisey County Tasation estimated the market value of the land to be approximately $40,500 and the building to be $132,100. Real estate taxes for 2006 were delinquent in the amount of $969.28, plus penalty and interest. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $50,000 plus. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $8,500 to $10,000. There had also been four summary abatements issued to this property four of which went to wark order: to secure the building and the City had to board the building to secure it from trespass, remove improperly stored refuse, and cut tall grass and weeds. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr. Magner presented photographs of the property. Ms. Moermond stated that the pictures were very telling, although there weren't any pictures of the interior of the building. In reviewing the order to abate, it indicated that the roof was problematic, there was sagging around the skylight which had been installed without a permit, the chimney was in bad shape, there wasn't proper venting for the furnace, the floor was buckled, the windows were rotting, damaged interior walls, and there was flooding caused by a burst interior water line due to the property not being winterized. Mr. Magner stated that flooding and the resulting water damage is generally problematic in that if it isn't cleaned up prior to spring, there was usually mold growth. This would require the building to be completely gutted and this couid not be identified until the code compliance inspection was completed. The property owner of record, Sunny Nyemah, did not appeaz. Christina Weber, Wilford & Geske, attomey representing Wilshire Credit Corporation, the servicer of the mortgage, appeared. Ms. Weber stated that the code compliance inspection had been done on Monday, October 22. The property was currently in foreclosure and would be going for sale in the near future. The mortgage company wanted to look at the code compliance inspection to determine whether the property should be saved or whether it should be demolished. She said that she had indicated to her client that if they did determine that the property should be saved, they would be reducing the redemption period, paying the taxes, paying the vacant building fees, paying the performance bond, and she informed them of what other requiremeuts would need to be met. Ms. Moermond recommended granring additional rime if the following is provided by the end of business on Friday, November 16: 1) complete the vacant building registration form; 2) pay the vacant building registration fees; 3) post the $5,000 performance bond; 4) pay the delinquent property tases; 5) provide a work plan with timelines outlining when the work would be completed; 6) provide a financial plan indicating the wherewithal to make the repairs to the building; and 7) maintain the property.
