A code compliance inspection had not been done, the vacant building registration fees were delinquent in the amount of $625 and the $5,000 perfomlauce bond had not been posted. On October 22, 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 Aecember 6, 2007.

Ramsey County Taacation estimated the market value of the land to be approximately $40,800 and the building to be $188,200. Real estate tases were current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $40,000 to $50,000 for each structure. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $11,670 to $15,670 for both structures. There had also been six summary abatements issued to this property since 2006, six of which went to work order: to secure the building and the City had to board the building to secure it from trespass, remove improperly stored refuse, cut tail grass and weeds, and remove snow and ice. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr. Magner presented photographs of the property. Ms. Moermond asked how they became aware this was a vacant building.

It had recently been inspected and a work order was sent to Parks to clear the sidewalk of snow and ice. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that tlus building had not been surveyed during the 1983 inventory process; however, it was near a cluster of potential properties that had been inventoried, 548 Van Buren, and a few on other streets in the area. According to her records, the first building was bualt in 1880 and there was an addition that was built in 1896, perhaps which was the second building; however, the records were uxtclear. She categorized the buildings as bungalow, workers-cottage style houses and the integrity was in fair to good condition on the front building. She did not have photos of the back building. Tait Danielson Castillo, District 7 Planning Council, appeared with three neighbors who wanted to see this building demolished. He stated that District 7 did not have a formal meeting conceming this property; however, over the past eight years that he had worked for District 7, it was the first time he had received six phone calls on one property wanting to see the building demolished. Larry Paulson, 581 Blair Avenue, stated that he lived across the alley from this property and had lived there for the past 40+ years. This property has had different owners over the years and it had always been a rental property. Over the past three years, he had left messages for the property owner concerning the conditions at the property and the owner never returned any of his calls.
