The property owner of record, Toumoua Lee, appeared and stated that he purchased this property from the bank in late October, 2007 with the intention of rehabbing the property. Mr. Lee provided copies of two plumbing estimates that he had received. Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, single-family dwelling on a lot of 3,049 square feet and had been vacant since July 9, 2007. A code compliance inspection had been done on November 15, 2007. The vacant building registration fees were current and the $5,000 performance bond had been posted on February 1, 2008. On October 8, 2007, 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 November 2, 2007 with a compliance date of December 3, 2007. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Tasation estimated the market value of the land to be approximately $34,900 and the building to be $81,900. Real estate taxes were current. Code Enforcement esrimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $40,000 to $50,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $7,400 to $10,400. There had also been three summary abatements issued to this property since 2007, two of which went to work order: remove improperly stored refuse, and to 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 1886 and was a front-gabeled workers cottage. The original owner was a person by the last name of Waters and the builder was a person with the last name of Warner. This property was right off Rice Street and was in a row of three houses and the houses that had the more architectural historic significance were gone. There was also a major loss of integrity to this building. Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Lee what his plans were for the building. Mr. Lee stated that once the rehab was complete, he intended to rent the property. Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Lee whether he had done this type of work befare. Mr. Lee responded that he had previously rehabbed three houses in the past. Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Lee if he had prepared a work plan as to how he was going to approach the rehab of the property. Mr. Lee responded that he had estimates for the plumbing and electrical work and intended to complete the repairs in accordance with the code compliance report. Ms. Moermond asked how they became aware this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner responded that he believed the inspector discovered the building vacant when they inspected the adjacent property. Mr. Moermond asked Mr. Lee how long he believed it would take to complete the repairs. Mr. Lee responded that he believed he could have the building done by the end of April. Ms. Moermond stated that the City estimated the cost of the repairs to be between $40,000 to $50,000 and she was concerned that he would have the fmancing available to complete the repairs. Mr. Lee stated that he believed the estimate was too high and that the cost to complete the repairs dg-Z3� February 12, 2008 I,egislative Hearing Minutes was between $10,000 to $15,000. Page 4 Ms. Moermond responded that she had profound concerns that he believed the cost of the repairs to be so low and that he may not perform quality work that is expected. She stated that she would need an approved work plan and approved financial documentation in order to grant time to complete the repairs. She also stated that she may require him to provide additional contractor estunates for the work. Ms. Moermond stated that the following must be provided by the end of business on February 29: 1) a work plan; and 2) financial documentation.
