Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 954 Carroll Avenue within fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution. The property owner of record, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, did not appear. Matt and Lori Kustriz, EMK Holding Co., appeazed and stated that they had recently purchased the property. Mr. Kustriz presented the following documentation: a signed purchase agreement; the code compliance inspection report; a work plan; and a financial letter from Bank Cherokee indicating available funding in the amount of $75,000 for the renovation of the properiy. Mr. Magner stated the building was a one and one-half story, wood frame, single-family dwelling with a detached one-stall gazage on a lot of 4,792 square feet and had been vacant since July 22, 2005. A code compliance inspection had been done on October 23, 2008, the vacant building registration fees in the amount of $1,000 were paid by assessment on August 21, 2008, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On July 22, 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 August 5, 2008 with a compliance date of September 4, 2008. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Taacation estimated the market value of the land to be approximately $48,500 and the building to be $79,800. Real estate taxes 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 $10,400 to $14,400. There had also been 40 suminary abatements issued to this property since 2005, 37 of which went to work order: to secure the building and the City had to board the building to secure it from trespass, remove improperly stored refuse and miscellaneous debris, graffiti removal, 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 for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in 1913 and was a bungalow-style building. She said that the integrity was good with the trim being intact and the siding had not been covered; however, the parch had been enclosed. Although this property was not located within any potenrial historic district; she encouraged rehab. Ms. Moermond reviewed the documentation that was submitted by Mr. Kustriz and asked him what his plans were for the property. Mr. Kustriz responded that some of the timelines on the work plan may change due to the weather conditions. He said that he was still undecided as to how to proceed with the rehab of the porch; however, he believed they would likely open it up to keep it in character with the rest of the house. The closing was currently scheduled for November 24. Mr. Magner reviewed the documentation that was submitted and said that he believed everything was in order. He requested Mr. Kush provide a vacant building registration form which Mr. Kustriz filled out and gave to Mr. Magner at the hearing. He indicated that EMK Holding had been doing business in St. Paul for some time and that they had rehabbed a property on Snmmit Avenue which received an award from the HPC. Ms. Moermond stated that the following must be received by Tuesday, November 25: 1) post the $5,000 performance bond; and 2) provide Amy Spong with a sketch for the rehab of the porch. She would then recommend granting 180 days to complete the rehab of the property.
