registration fees were current. The $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On November
21, 2007 an inspection of the building was done and a list of deficiencies which consritute a
nuisance condirion was developed. An order to abate a nuisance building was posted on January 2,
2008 with a compliance date of February l, 2008. To date, the property remained in a condition

approximately $60,000 to $70,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately
$8,2�0 to $11,240. There had also been fhree summary abatements issued to this proper[y since

bungalow with an enclosed porch. She also noted that it appeared that there was a contiguous row
of houses on this block.
Ms. Weber stated that Fannie Mae planned to rehab the property and actively market it at the same
time so that hopefully, someone would purchase it and complete the rehab. Her client had indicated
to her that they would post the bond by Apri18. She presented a broker's scope of repair/contractor
bid from KRG Renovations.
Ms. Moermond stated that she would also need a letter from Fannie Mae indicating that they were
willing to invest up to $60,000 dedicated towards the rehab of this property.

electrical, plumbing, and hearing were not included with the plan.

Yhe trade contractors in addition to a letter from Fannie Mae indicating that they were willing to
dedicate up to $60,000 to fund the rehab ofthis property. She would recommend granting 180
days.
