No other parties of interest appeazed. Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, duplex on a lot of 3,920 squaze feet and had been vacant since June 30, 2004. A code compliance inspection had been done on November 15, 2004, the vacant building registration fees in the amount of $1,000 were paid by assessment on October 22, 2008, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On July 23, 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 1 L 2008 with a compliance date of September 10, 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 $25,300 and the building to be $89,700. Real estate taxes were current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $40,000 to $50,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $8,550 to $11,550. There had also been nine summary abatements issued to this property since 2004, four 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, 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 1889 as a commercial store front with residential flats above. There were few remaining details and the integrity was poor as most of the historic fabric of the building had been lost. Ms. Moermond asked how they became aware this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner stated the inspector found the building to be unoccupied, the electricity had been turned off, and there were nuxnerous exterior and interior violations that had been found. Ms. Moermond recommended the building be removed within 15 days with no option for repair.
