February 12, 2008 Legislative Hearing Minutes
Page 10
Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 724 Jessamine Avenue East within
fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution.
The property owner of record, Paul White, appeared.
Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, single-family dwelling on a lot of
4,792 square feet and had been vacant since June 25, 2002. A code compliance inspection had been
done on January 22, 2003. The vacant building registration fees were current and the $5,000
performance bond had been posted on November 30, 2007. On 7une 15, 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 1, 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 Taxarion estimated the muket value of the land
to be approximately $43,700 and the building to be $106,000. Real estate taxes were current. Code
Enfarcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $30,000 to $4Q000. The
cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $8,400 to $11,400. There had also been 10
summary abatements issued to this property since 2002, five of which went to work order: remove
improperly stored refuse, and to cut tall grass and weeds. Mr. Magner stated that it was his
understanding from Mr. White that the repairs would be completed or close to completion by the
City Council Public Hearing date on March 5. Mr. Magner presented photographs of the property.
NLs. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that there were no
photographs of the property and there was no PED 106 form in the file. The building was built in
1884 on a contiguous block of houses and the building did have some integrity intact.
Mr. White stated that he purchased the property, which was a vacant building, in January, 2003 and
many of the suu�mary abatement arders that had been issued were prior to his ownership. It was his
intention at the time to repair the building and then sell it. He now intended to make the rest of the
repairs and live at the property. He explained that the work had been going slow as he had to eam
the money to put into the repairs. The work that remained was as follows: lay rile on the bathroom
floor; hang fixtures on the walls; the staircase banister needed to installed; the pluxnbing needed to
be inspected; and there was some trim on the back of the exterior of the house that needed to be
done.
Ms. Moermond stated that she would require Mr. White to go back to the code compliance
inspection report and indicate which items had been signed off and which items needed to be signed
off yet. She requested that this be provided by the end of business on Friday, February 29:
