Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 262 Sidnev Street East within fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution. Mr. Magner stated the building was a two and one-half story, wood frame, duplex with a detached two-stall garage on a lot of 4,356 square feet and had been vacant since June 22, 2005. A code compliance inspection had been done on July 19, 2005. The vacant building registration fees were delinquent in the amount of $1,125 and the $5,000 performance bond had been posted on January 7, 2008. On September 6, 2007, an inspection of the building was done and a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance condirion was developed. An order to abate a nuisance building was posted on October 11, 2007 with a compliance date of November 12, 2007. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Tasation estimated the mazket value of the land to be approximately $40,700 and the building to be $99,900. Real estate taaces aze current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $75,000 to $80,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $8,700 to $11,700. There had also been 17 summary abatements issued to this property since 2005, 17 of which went to work order: to secure the building and the City had to board the building to secure it from trespass, remove snow and ice, remove tall grass and weeds, remove and refuse, and remove graffiti. Mr. Magner stated he had just received a letter from Mary Jaskowiak, Wells Fargo, which was addressed to the mortgagors stating the following: "Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, a division of the Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., is in receipt of the attached notice from the City/County of above reference." Attached to the notice was a copy of the public hearing notice that was sent to Wells Fargo, N.A. The letter went on to say: "When this violarion has been satisfied, please send Wells Fargo Home Mortgage proof of this form from the City/County. Your compliance is expected in the next 30 days." Mr. Magner stated that the letter was sent to Jason Ewert and Ann Hurst, 262 Sidney Street West and that he was merely copied on it. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr. Magner presented photographs of the property. Ms. Moermond asked that when the owner and encumbrance report was done, if it indicated how long this property was in foreclosure. She also asked who the notifications and the summary abatements were sent to. Mr. Magner stated that they had Dean Garret in Eden Prairie, who is the listed owner; the taac owner is listed as HomEq and Wells Fargo is the mortgage company; Shapiro, Nordmeyer & Zielke is listed as the foreclosure attorney. Since Dean Garret was srilllisted as the owner of record, the redemption period would not have expired. Ms. Moermond stated that she had recently met with the community liaison for Wells Fargo and she requested a list of the properties that were not being maintained by them. It appeared that they did have some responsibility for this property in maintaining their asset. Mr. Magner responded that everyone on the owner and encumbrance report was notified of these proceedings. If they had written off this asset, sold it or were not responding to the notices, he did not haue this information. Ms. Moermond asked if there had been any additional summary abatement notices issued to this property since the order to abate was done on October 11. Mr. Magner responded that there was a work in September and work orders in December. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that latest survey information was done in 1983 and there were scattered sites that had been recommended for fiirther evaluarion. This building had not been inventoried or surveyed. She could see from the limited pictures, it January 8, 2008 Legislative Hearing Minutes (� �'� �� Page 6 appeared that there had been some serious alterations and integrity issues. However, since this building was on a corner lot, she believed it strengthened the neighborhood. The property owner of record, Dean Garret, did not appeaz. No other parties of interest appeared. Ms. Moermond recommended the building be removed within 15 days with no oprion for repair. January 29, 2008 Legislative Hearing Minutes �$�� 4! Page 2 1. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 262 Sidnev Street East within fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution. (Legislative Hearing held January 8) Ryan Krmzuie, attomey with Shapiro, Nordmeyer & Zielke, appeared on behalf of HomEq Loan Servicing. Tim Folkensen appeared as the realtor hired by HomEq to mazket the property. Mr. Magner stated that this address was heard at the January 8 Legislative Hearing and no one appeazed. The recommendation was to remove the building within 15 days with no option for repair. Mr. Magner read into the record the sununary on the history of this property. Ms. Moermond asked how they became aware this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner stated that the inspector referred this property to vacant buildings as the building was vacant; doors, windows and roof were deteriorated; numerous exterior violarions; the garage was open; and tall grass and weeds. Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Magner whether he believed a new code compliance inspection would be necessary since it had been performed in June, 2005. Mr. Magner responded that he would haue to defer to the inspector far this property as he was unaware as to whether the condition of the building had further deteriorated. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was a 1908 workers cottage which appeared to be substantially gutted. From the photos, she could not see any azchitectural significance and it appeared there was a tremendous loss of integrity. This building had not been inventoried and was not locally designated. There were three properties that were within one block from this property which had been surveyed and did haue some potential. Mr. Krumrie stated HomEq Servicing serviced the loan for the mortgage company, Wells Fargo Bank. The property went into foreclosure and the sale occurred in June, 2007 and at that time, Mr. Garret was stillliving at the property and they did not recommend reducing the redemption period. Ms. Moermond stated that if Mr. Garret had been living at the property, he was doing so illegally and from the number of siumnary abatement orders that went to work order, he truly was not maintaining the property. She suggested to Mr. Krumrie that they search City records to determine whether properties had been listed as a vacant building and even though the bank did have rights to maintain the property, it appeared they failed to do so. Mr. Krumrie stated that the redemption period expired in December, 2007 and when he had received the notice on the arder to abate, he contacted his client and they did not respond. They did respond on January 9, the day after the Legislative Hearing. He called Ms. Sheffer to request a new hearing date and said they had hired Tim Folkensen that day to maintain and market the property for sale. Ms. Moermond asked whether the vacant building fees had been paid. Mr. Magner responded that there was no indication that the vacant building fees had been paid. The performance bond had been posted on Januazy 16. Mr. Folkensen stated that the bond had been posted and he requested the vacant building fees also be paid. He did not have any record as to whether those fees had been paid. He had received a 7anuary 29, 2008 Legslative Hearing Minutes �I����� Page3 preliminary bid in the amount of $50,006 to convert the properiy back to a single-family dweiling which he believed the property could then be mazketed for approximately $150,000 to $160,000. The inside had been totally gutted and was ready to be fixed up. It was his understanding that the previous reattor had marketed the property for $60,000 and a bid had heen received. He recommended to HomEq that they not accept the offer and instead, rehabilitate the pmperty. HomEq, in turn, was requesting that they be aliowed the rime to sell the property for $60,000 to a licensed contractor to rehabilitate the property as they wanted to get rid of the property. Ms. Moermond ciarified that Mr. Folkensen was not going to do the rehabilitation, the bank wanted to sell the property to someone else to do the rehab. Mr. Folkensen responded that this was conect. He was in the process of putting together a work plan when HomEq indicated to him that they wanted to sell it to someone else to do the rehab. Mr. Magner stated that the potential buyer was not at fhis hearing to prove that fhey had auailable fmancing or the ability to complete the rehab. Mr. Folkensen responded that if this was not acceptable, HomEq was prepared to go ahead with the rehabilitation of the property and then would market the property for sale. Ms. Moermond stated Chat there was no work plan or financial commirinent to do the rehabilitation, the vacant building registtarion fees had not been paid, and the property had not been maintained. The hearing had heen continued so that a work pian and financials could be presented and this had not been done. Mr. Foikensen staCed that he had the bid from the contractor which he believed was approximately $50,000 to rehab the property. Ms. Moermond asked whether there was a$SO,OOQ commihnent to finance the project. Mr. Folkensen responded that HomEq was committed to finance the rehab. Ms. Moermond responded that HomEq would need to make a commitment to put $50,000 to the rehabifitation of this property. The vacant building fees would also need to be paid. Mr. Folkensen stated that he believed he could have everything to Ms. Moermond within 72 hours, if this was acceptable. Ms. Moermond responded she would need time to review the documentation and wouid let him know whether it was acceptabie. The commitment wouid need to come from HomEq and she was not wiiling to grant time to any potentiai buyer. If the properry was sold, she would require them to norify her and another hearing would need to be scheduled. Mr. Magner stated that the vacant buiiding registration fees in the amount of $1,125 needed to be paid and the vacant building registration form needed to be filied out and filed with his office. He pointed out that the letter HomEq had provided for financing 763 Fu11er did not indicate that the specific amount of money was being set aside to rehabilitate that property. Ms. Moermond stated that if HomEq provided a letter such as tlus for 262 Sidney, it would not be accepted. Ms. Moermond recommended granting 180 days from the time the bond was posted conditioned on the following being provided by Friday, February 1: 1) vacaut bnilding registration fees must be paid; 2) vacant builcling registration form must be filled out; 3) provide financial documentation dedicating the funding to complete the repairs; 4) a work plan with timelines must be completed; and 5} the property must be maintained.
