Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 20 Acker Street West within fifteen (15) days from adoption ofresolution. The property owner, 7uan Samniguel appeazed with Bee Vue who stated that he had a signed purchase agreement to purchase the property. It was his intention to close on the purchase either at the end of the week or early the following week. Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Vue when he had signed the purchase agreement. Mr. Vue responded it had been two months ago. Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, single-family dwelling on a lot of 4,356 squaze feet and had been vacant since October 27, 2006. The vacant building registration fees were delinquent in the amount of $250, the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted and a code compliance inspection had not been completed. On April 10, 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 Apri124, 2007 with a compliance date of May 24, 2007. To date, the property remains in a condirion which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Tasation estimated the mazket value of the land to be approximately $41,400 and the building to be $75,300, however, he did not believe the County had looked at the structure recenfly. Real estate tases were delinquent in the amount of $2,02611 plus penalty and interest. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $60,000 to $70,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $10,000 to $12,000. There had also been now five suminary abatements issued to this property, four of which had gone to work order: to secure the building and the City had to board the building to secure it from trespass, remove tall grass and weeds, to remove two vehicles and to remove improperly stored refuse. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or demolished within 15 days. Mr. Magner stated that he had spoken with Mr. Vue's real estate agent and told him that besides the previous abatement orders, the assessments on the property exceed $1,000. He explained that the most recent action the City took to clean up the property, mow the grass and board the building which had been done the previous Friday, would exceed $1,100 in assessments. There was also a boazding charge in the amount of $300. There were also two vehicles that had been removed from the property and if they remained unclaimed by the legal owner, there would be an assessment for $600 plus for each vehicle. In total, the cost of the assessments and the unpaid real estate taxes would be in excess of $6,000 due and owing on this property. He also indicated to Mr. Vue's real estate agent that there had not been a huth-in-housing inspection ar code compliance inspection done on the property which the seller would be in violation of the law at this point in time. He suggested that a code compliance inspection would need to be obtained, the bond would need to be posted, a work plan and a financial plan would need to be presented at the hearing today. Mr. Manger presented photographs of the property. Mr. Vue clarified that Mr. Magner had talked to his attorney, Nathan Crow, and not his real estate agent. He stated that it was his intent to close on the property at the end of the week. He explained that Mr. Sanmiguel's wife was out of town which complicated the closing. They had agreed that he would satisfy all of the assessments and taxes and it was his intent to have the huth in housing done as soon as possible. He had not realized that the truth in housing had not been done yet. As soon as he purchased the property, he would post the bond and start working on the property and bring it up to code. Ms. Moermond asked why this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner stated the building was condemned by Code Enforcement. 7uly 17, 2007 Legislative Hearing Minutes O Page 5�� Ms. Moermond toid Mr. Vue that she would require additional detail than what he had provided. The deadline she would need everything done would be Friday, July 27 by the end of the business day. The vacant building registration fees would need to paid and the vacant building registration form would need to be filled out. The property would need to be maintained with no more summary abatement orders issued at the property which meant that if it snowed in August, the sidewalk needed to be shoveled and if anything was dumped in the yard, it needed to be removed. The code compliance inspection needed to be applied for and completed and she suggested they walk over to the Licensing Office after the hearing to apply for the inspection. Ms. Moermond stated that the attorney was notified that this needed to be done as well and it was well identified in all of the documentation that this building was a nuisance. She stated that she had very little confidence in his ability to manage this transacrion given that over the past two months, none of the items had been done. Ms. Moermond stated that since she had not worked with Mr. Vue before, she would need a comprehensive work plan outlining timelines that the work would be completed in accordance with the code compliance inspection report. Also, the performance bond needed to be posted and the real estate taxes needed to be paid. Since there was a signed purchase agreement and a truth in sale of housing or code compliance inspection had not been completed, she would require that the closing on the property take place by July 27 and she would require Mr. Vue provide the closing documents to demonstrate that he was in possession of the property. She would also need verification of the financial ability to complete the rehabilitation of the property. Mr. Vue asked if a letter from the bank would sufficient. Ms. Moermond stated that he would need verification that he had the funds in his possession that were set aside for this project. Code Enforcement estimated the cost of the rehabilitation to be between $60,000 to $70,000 so she would need to see at least that amount of financing available for this project. Mr. Vue stated that because the property was not in his name, he didn't believe he should be responsible. He explained that there had been a disagreement about the purchase price and now Mr. Sanxniguel had come to an agreement on the price as he did not haue the financial ability to fix it up. Ms. Moermond stated that she would make the same requiraments of any property owner whether they were a new property owner or not. Ms. Moermond reiterated her recommendation that the following must be done by Friday, July 27: 1) obtain the code compliance inspecrion report; 2) have a signed purchased agreement; 3) the vacant building registration form filled out; 4) the vacant building fees paid; 5) the performance bond must be posted; 6) the property must be maintained; and 7) the real estate taxes must be paid.
