Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, duplex with a detached garage on a lot of4,792 square feet and had been vacant since December 19, 2007. A code compliance inspection had not been done, the vacant building registration fees were delinquent in the amount of $1,000, and the $5,000 performance bond had ttot been posted. On April 23, 2008, an inspection of the building was done and a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance condition was developed. An arder to abate a nuisance building was posted on May 13, 2008 with a compliance date of June 12, 2008. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Tasarion estimated the market value of the land Yo be approximately $45,400 and the building To be $124,200. Real esYate taxes were current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $40,000 to $50,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $11,390 to $15,390. There had also been three sumuiary abatements issued to this property since 2007, five of which went to work order: to secure the building and the City had to board the building to secure it from trespass, remove improperly stored refuse, and boarding.
