Ordering the owner to remove or repair Yhe building(s) at 977 Edgerton StreeY within fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolurion. Mr. Magner stated the building was a two story, wood frazne, single-famiIy dwelIing with a detached one-stalI garage on a lot of 4,792 square feet and had been vacant since Apri19, 2004. A code compliance inspection had been done on September 14, 2006. The vacant buiiding registration fees were delinquent in the amount of $375 and fhe $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On August 23, 2007, an inspecrion of the building was done and a list of deficiencies which consritute a nuisance condition was developed. An order to abate a nuisance building was posted on August 29, 2007 with a compliance date of September 28, 2007. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Tu�ation estimated the mazket value of the land to be approximately $43,700 and the building to be $125,700. Real estate tases for 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 $10,100 to $14,100. There had also been seven summary abatements issued to this property, three of which went to work order: to secure the building and the City had to board the building to secure it from trespass and remove improperly stored refuse. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr. Magner presented phofographs of the property. The property owner of record, National City Bank of Midwest, did not appear. Lynn Hooper, Customer Driven Realty, REO for the property, appeared. He stated that he was representing the bank, HLAL Home Loan Associatian who had acquired the asset from National City Bank as it was his understandzng that National City had gone into receivership. Ms. Moermond asked him how long he had been working with this property. Mr. Hooper responded that the property was listed for sale on Apri126, 2007. Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Hooper if he and his client wanted to sell the property "as is" rather than do the rehab themselves. NIr. Hooper responded that he had received two bids on the property per the Bank's request. He said that with tY�e nuxnber of foreclosures, banks had suffered severe financial iosses as a resuit. The Bank was going to lose a fair amount of money on this property especiaily in light of the bids that were received. He was attempting to find a single-family buyer for the property who could possibly obtain an FHA loan and would do the rehab. Ms. Moermond asked the amount on the bids that were received. Mr. Hooper responded that he did not have them with him; however, he believed one was $55,000. He was attempting to find good buyers for neighborhoods as opposed to finding a buyer with no money doum because they generally end up back on the market. He asked for time to continue marketing the property for sale so that someone could purchase Yhe property and do the required rehabilitation work. Ms. Moermond stated that the nuisance condition needed to be abated. She asked how much was � owing on the mortgage. Mr. Magner stated that the outstanding mortgage was $148,000 and there was a second mortgage in the amount of $37,000. Ms. Moermond asked how they became aware this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner stated that the Code Enforcement inspector referred this property to the Vacant Buildings Program as the electricity and gas had been shut off; there were broken windows; there was tall grass and weeds; �� December 11, 2007 Legislative Hearing Minutes the building was open to access and appeared to be abandoned. Page 12 Ms. Moermond asked about the snmmary abatements that had been issued since the vacant building file had been opened and when they had occuned. Mr. Ma�er responded that the three work orders were issued when the fi1e was first opened. The last time a work order had been sent was Apri1, 2007. Mr. Hooper stated that the redemption period ended Apri14, 2007 so the Bank did not take responsibility for maintaining the property until after that date. Mr. Magner stated that the work order was sent on Apri191ikely prior to Mr. Hooper being assigned to the property. He said that there had been some summary abatements issued since April; however, it appeared that the property was being maintained as none had gone to wark order. Ms. Moermond stated that the vacant building fees were due and owing. Mr. Magner responded that the vacant buiiding fees were owing in the amount of $375. He suggested Mr. Hooper have his client pay the vacant building fees and submit a vacant building registration form. Mr. Hooper stated that he was not aware of this and he would make sure this was taken care of. Mr. Magner stated that this property was in the Tnvest 5aint Paul area and was across the street from the "Make it Right-Make it Work" targeted azea and was considered in the bnffer zone. The neighbors have requested that the City make an effort to abate the nuisance properties for any properties located in these targeted areas. 4Vhen they met with the neighbors and did a walk through in the neighborhood, this property was specifically pointed out as another building that needed to be addressed. Ms. Moermond stated that she didn't believe the City would be willing to grant additionai time to find a buyer for the property who would do the rehabilitation. She stated that the nuisance condition needed to be abated which meant either the Bank would have to do the rehabilitation or the City would demolish the building. She believed the estimated cost of the repairs was fairly moderate and she believed it may be in the Bank's best interest to make the repaus and market it for sale. Mr. Hooper stated that he also did not believe that this house was in that bad a shape and should be rehabilitated. Mr. Magner stated that it essentially was a mathematical issue as to the value of the property once the building was rehabbed and how much they could sell the property for after the rehabilitation was done. The Bank would need to decide whether it was worth the risk to put the $50,000 into rehabbing the building with the hopes of selling the property for whatever price they could get for it. This was a case where clearly, the equity had been stripped on the property. Ms. Moermond stated in order for her Yo grant additional time, she would require the foliowing be compieted by the end of business on Friday, December 28: 1) the vacant buiiding fees must be paid and the registrarion completed; 2) the $5,000 performance bond must be posted; 3) a work plan with timelines and estimated cost of repairs must be received; and 4} financial documentation showing $40,000 to $50,000 is dedicated to complete the cost of the repairs to the building.
