Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 575 CharlesAvenue within fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution. The property owner of record, Federal National Mortgage Association, did not appear. No other parties of interest appeared. Mr. Ma�er stated the building was a one and one-half story, wood frame, single-family dwelling with a detached one and one-stall garage on a lot of 2,178 square feet and had been vacant since September 1, 2006. A code compliance inspection had been done on August 10, 2007, the vacant building registration fees in the amount of $1,000 went to assessment on October 22, 2008, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On July 1, 200$, 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 7uly 18, 2008 with a compliance date of August 18, 2008. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Taxation estimated the market value of the land to be approximately $19,300 and the building to be $72,500. Real estate taxes were current. Code Enforcement esrimates the cost to repair The building to be approximately $50,000 to $75,000. The aost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $10,300 to $14,300. There had also been seven summary abatements issued to this property since 2006, seven of which went to wark order: to secure the building and the City had to board the building to secure it from ttespass, remove refuse and miscellaneous debris, boarding, cut tall grass and weeds, and remove graffiti. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr. NLagner presented photographs of the property. Ms. Moennond asked how they became aware this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner stated that the code enforcement inspectar condemned the building due to numerous code violations and referred the property to Vacant Buildings. Ms. Moermond asked far a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in 1889 as a worker's cottage-style building. This property was located in the potential Frob own historic district and had not been surveyed; however, she believed it was a potential historic resource in the neighborhood. She noted that this neighborhood was unique in that two houses were built on one lot, as side-by-sides, and then the lots were subsequently split. Mr. Magner stated that there was a high concenCration of residential structures in this nei�borhood and the goal was to reduce density given the history of problems in the area. Ms. Spong responded that PED's recommendarion conflicted as they believed higher density of narrow houses was preferable to building high rises to meet the housing needs for this area. Ms. Moermond stated that since no one appeared, she recommended the building be removed or repaired within 15 days.
