Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, single-family dwelling with a detached garage on a lot of 3,049 squaze feet and had been vacant since December 8, 2007. A code compliance inspection had not been done, the vacant building registration fees were current, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On July 7, 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 July 31, 2008 with a compliance date of September 1, 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 $24,700 and the building to be $89,200. Real estate taxes were current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $60,000 to $70,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $12,033 to $16,033. There had also been four summary abatements issued to this property since 2007, five of which went to work arder: to secure the building and the City had to board the building to secure it from trespass, remove improperly stored refuse and miscellaneous debris, boarding, and cut tall grass and weeds. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr. Magner presented photographs of the property. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in 1907 and was a workers' cottage-style building. She noted that the porch had been enclosed and the exterior had been covered in vinyl. This property was located outside of the potential Payne Avenue historical district and she was unsure how this building fit in with the character and context of the neighborhood. Mr. Hiu stated that Ms. Fung planned to do the necessary work to rehabilitate the property. Ms. Moermond asked whether there was a signed purchase agreement. Mr. Hiu responded that they had the documentation and closed on the property September, 2008. Ae asked about 719 Case and presented documents concerning that property. Ms. Moermond reviewed the documents and stated that 719 Case had been recommended by the City Council for demolition because the owner did not perform all of the conditions in order to receive a grant of time to rehabilitate the property. She said she was not able to discuss that matter since the Council had already voted on the matter. She expressed concern that the owner would be able to meet all of the conditions to rehabilitate 616 Case and believed that there was a lack of understanding concerning the process. Mr. Magner stated that the registration form should haue been received by his office within 30 days after the closing on the property. He also expressed concem that the owners did not understand the process even after attending numerous legislative hearings.
