2. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 699 Edmund Avenue within
fifteen (15} days from adoption ofresolution.
The property owner of record, Dottald Ramel, did not appear. No other parties of interest appeazed.
Mr. Magner stated the building was a two and one-half story, wood frame, legal non-confoiming
duplex on a lot of 4,792 square feet and had been vacant since August 9, 2006. A code compliance
inspection had been done on December 21, 2006, the vacant building registration fees were current,
and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On June 5, 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 19, 2008 with a compliance date of Juty
21, 2008. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by
the Legislative Code. Ramsey County TaYation estimated the market value of the land to be
approximately $35,700 and the buildittg to be $96,900. Reat estate t�es were current. Code
Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $75,000 to $85,000. The
cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $10,175 to $14,175. There had also been
eight suuunary abatements issued to this property since 2006, five of which went to work order: to
secure the building and the City had to boazd the building to secure it from trespass, boarding, and
remove snow and ice. Mr. Magner said that the most recent sumuiaty abatement, which went to
work order, was to clean the yard and secure the building. Code Enforcement recommends the
building be repaired or removed within 15 days. He presented photographs of the property.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in
1889 and was a workers cottage-style honse. It was located outside the potential Frogtown Historic
District and had not been surveyed; however, she believed it lacked historical significance. She
noted that the exterior of the house appeared to have tlze original clapboard, facia, trim and
windows. She encouraged rehab of the building.
Ms. Moermond asked how they became aware this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner stated that
the inspector found the building vacant with numerous exterior violarions. Ms. Moermond asked
who had paid the vacant building fees. Mr. Manger responded that it appeared fees were paid far
by Minnesota Lending Co, LLC.
Ms. Moermond recommended the building be removed within 15 days with no option for repair.
