8. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 861 St. Anthony Avenue within
fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution.
The property owner of record, Bank of I3ew York Trust Co, did not appear. Karen Gray and Nora
Hall appeared and stated that they had purchased the property at auction and closed on the purchase
on January 23, 2008.
Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, single-family dwelling on a lot of
4,356 squaze feet and had been vacant since June 12, 2007. A code compliance inspection had been
done on February 22, 2008, the vacant building registration fees were current, and the $5,000
performance bond was posted on February 22, 2008. On October 3, 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 6, 2007 with a compliance date of
December 6, 2007. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as
defined by the Legisiative Code. Ramsey County Tasation estimated the market value of the land
to be approximately $36,500 and the building to be $113,400. Real estate taYes were current. Code
Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $70,000 to $80,000. The
cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $8,745 to $11,745. There had also been five
summary abatements issued to this property since 2007, two of which went to work order: to secure
the building and the City had to boazd the building to secure it from trespass, remove improperly
stored refuse, and remove snow and ice. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired
or removed within 15 days. Mr. Magner stated that he had conversations with the new owners and
they have indicated that they intend to rehabilitate the building. He presented photographs of the
property.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building had not
been inventoried as it was north of I94. According to her records, the building was built in 1889;
however, there was a permit lisring 1885, and was a worker-cottage style building. There was a loss
of integrity to the exterior of the building and there was no significant architectural features.
Ms. Hall stated that they received a copy of the code compliance inspection report on February 22
and paid the performance bond at that time. They had meetings scheduled with contractars this
week to get bids on getting the work done. Once they have those bids, they planned to apply for a
construction loan with Wells Fargo. Once they had the loan, they planned to rehab the building and
rent it out. She explained that when they bought it at auction, they did not have the opportunity to
go into the building and were unaware of the extensive damage to the interior. They were also
unaware that the building was listed as a Categary III vacant building and what work would be
involved to bring it up to code.
Ms. Moermond asked that when they closed on the purchase, whether they were made awaze that
there was an arder to abate a nuisance building for this property and that the City intended to
demolish the building if someone did not bring forward plans to repair. Ms. Gray stated that they
saw the sigis posted on the building; however, no one informed them of the orders on the building
until after the closing.
Mr. Magner stated that when the order to abate a nuisance building is mailed out, they placard the
building which states that the building was subject to demolition.
February 26, 2008 Legislative Hearing Minutes � 36 � Page 7
Ms. Moermond stated that it is incumbent upon the seller to provide the information that the
building was subject to demolirion and it was not the City's responsibility to let them know. She
stated that she would require a work plan, to be done in accordance with the code compliance
inspection report, and they would also need to provide financial documentation indicating that they
had dedicated funds available to complete the project.
Ms. Hall stated that they were going to give their coniractors a copy of the code compliance report
and ask that they write their bids in accordance to the report. They would then go to Wells Fargo to
apply for the construction loan. She stated that they had rehabilitated other properties; however,
they had never done a Category III building before.
Ms. Moermond asked what properties they had done. Ms. Gray responded that they had rehabbed
1213 Summit Avenue which is a duplex and they have their business at the property.
Ms. Moermond stated that the following must be submitted by Wednesday, Much 12: 1) an
approved work plan; and 2) financial documentation.
