A code compliance inspection had not been done, the vacant building registration fees were delinquent in the amount of $250 and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On November 14, 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 December 31, 2007 with a compliance date of January 30, 2008. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County TaYation estimated the market value of the land to be approximately $90,000 and the building to be $219,000. Real estate talces were current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $80,000 to $100,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $19,295 to $24,295. There had also been two summary abatements issued to this property since 2007, three of which went to work order: to secure the building and the City had to board the building to secure it from trespass, an emergency boarding, and 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.

To date, there had been interest in the property; however, he did not ha�e any signed purchase agreements. The listing price was currently $199,900 and he had indicated to the Bank that they may want to consider lowering that price to dispose of the property. He stated that he spoke to Pat Fish and she indicated to him that he would need a certificate of occupancy team inspection since the building had six units. She told him that the first team inspection date that was available was Apri124. He said that he had paid the vacant building fee and filled out the vacant building registration form the previous day. His plan was to get contractars into the building to obtain bids on the work that needs to be done so that he could present those figures to the Bank. Mr. Magner pointed out that this property had been a problem in the neighborhood for a long period of time, particularly with behavioral issues. Ae would request that anyone purchasing the property would need to bring forwazd a plan on how they were going to manage the property since this was a high-density building.

Ms. Moermond asked how long they had been in possession of the property. Mr. Hadac responded that the redemption period ended at the end of September, 2007 and they had been marketing the property since that time.
