Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 534 Thomas Avenue within fifteen (15) days from adoprion of resolurion. Randy Murdzek appeared on behalf of Gallop Solutions Inc. which was a subdivision of HomeVestors. He stated that they had purchased the property in June, 2007. Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, single-family dwelling with a detached garage on a lot of 4,792 squaze feet and had been vacant since July 7, 2003. A code compliance inspection had been done on October 3, 2005. The vacant building registration fees were current and the $5,000 performance bond had been posted on November 7, 2007. On October 10, 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 Taacation estimated the market value of the land to be approximately $51,000 and the building to be $88,300. Real estate tases were current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $40,000 to $50,000. The cost for demolition was estunated to be approximately $7,200 to $10,200. There had also been 12 smmnary abatements issued to this property since 2003, two of which went to work order: remove improperly stored refuse and remove miscellaneous debris from the yard. Mr. Magner stated that it was his understanding that Mr. Murdzek planned to have the rehabilitation completed within a matter of days. He presented photographs of the property. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that there was no indication of an original permit for when this building had been built; however, she believed it was built around 1880. She stated that this building was located in the potential historic Frogtown District and the boundaries that were noted from the 1983 survey were: Minnehaha, Rice, University, and Dale. She noted that the building was located across the street from St. Agnes Church which was on the list of historic structures. Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Murdzek what his plans were for the building. Mr. Murdzek stated that he had hoped to be finished with the rehab the previous day; however, his contractor got behind. The pluxnbing was done and needed to be inspected; the electrical was done and also needed to be inspected. The only items that needed to be completed were some tile wark, grouting grill work, countertops, some basement windows, a garage door, front storm door, and insulation. He believed everything should be completed within one week. 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 also wanted to see a financing source for the remainder of the items and the property needed to be maintained. She requested that this be provided by the end of business on Friday, February 29:
