O�-lDSI�
-�-- – Orderirig t�e owner Yo remove orrep s --
(15) days from adoption of resolution.
Property Owner, Mazk Pasvogel, 7r., President of Bye Property, LLC., appeared.
Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, duplex dwelling with a detached
garage on a lot of �,663 squaze feet and had been vacant since January 17, 2008. A code
compliance inspection had been done on June 6, 2008. The vacant building registration fees were
paid, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On May 13, 2008, 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 June 3, 2008 with a compliance date of July 3,
2008. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the
Legislative Code. Ramsey County T�ation estimated the market value of the land to be
approximately $37,100 and the building to be $162,000. Real estate taxes for were current. Code
Bnforcement estimates the cost to rapair the building to be approximately $SQ000 to $60,000. The
cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $13,950 to $17,950. There had also been
three sutnmary abatements issued to this properry since 2008, four of which went to work order: to
secure the building and the City had to boazd the building to secure it from trespass, remove
improperly stored refuse, cut tall grass and weeds, and remove snow and ice. Code Enforcement
recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr. Magner presented
photographs of the property.
Ms. Moermond asked whether Mr. Pasvogel acquired the property from WaMu. Mr. Pasvogel
stated that at the time, he was represented by a realtor when he acquired the property. He got a
construction staxement of an amount of $62,100.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Barr. Ms. Barr stated that this building was consriucted
in 1875. It is a double house with front porch enclosed and the original siding was covered. On the
east side of the block, there is good integrity and on the west, there is interesting topographical
feature with the trees and hills. The side context is good and Staff strongly encouraged rehab on the
buildings.
Ms. Moermond asked how they became aware this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner stated that it
was referred by the Fire Prevention staff on January 11, 2008. At that time, it was condemned for
water and interior/exterior violations. The building was occupied at the time.
Ms. Moermond explained the reason for the condemnation and its process to Mr. Pasvogel.
Ms. Moermond recommended he provided the following by the close of business September 10: 1)
the $5,000 performance bond must be posted; 2) the vacant registration form must be completed
(one was given at the hearing); 3) a work plan; and 4) financial documentation.
