The properry owner of record, Chase Home Financial, did not appeaz. Bob Knotz appeazed and stated that he had recently purchased the property and the closing had occurred on January 28, 2008. Mr. Magner stated the building was a rivo-story, wood &ame, duplex on a lot of 4,356 square feet and had been vacant since October 11, 2006. A code compliance inspecrion had been done on February 23, 2007, the vacant building registration fees were current and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On December 31, 2007, an inspection of the building was done and a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance condirion was developed. An order to abate a nuisance building was posted on January 18, 2008 with a compliance date of February 18, 2008. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Tasation estimated the market value of the land to be approximately $40,000 and the building to be $110,000. Real estate tases were current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $60,000 to $70,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $10,400 to $13,400. There had also been eight siimmary abatements issued to this property since 2006, four 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, remove snow and ice, and remove graffiti. Mr. Magner noted that the building should have been converted to a Category III building; however, it was never done and the property remained as a Category II building. Code Enfarcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. He presented photographs of the property. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this was a Queen Anne style home built in 1911 and oriD nally, the pazcel contained two houses on this single lot. She stated that the photographs showed that the siding had been covered up, the front porch was open and intact; however, the building did not have any architectural detailing left. She noted that it was a block off of Payne Avenue which was eligible for historic desia ation. It was also at the end of a contiguous row of houses and had not been surveyed. She recommended the building be rehabilitated. Mr. Magner stated that accarding to STAMP, four mechanical permits had been issued as well as two building permits, a plumbing pemut, and a warm air permit. He did not see that an electrical permit had been pulled. He had inspected the building and Mr. Knotz was weil along in the rehabilitation of the structure. Ms. Moermond asked how they became awaze this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner responded that the property was condemned on October 10, 2006 and there were issues with illegal occupancy of the property and on more than one occasion, people had to be physically removed from the property. Mr. Knotz stated that he had a code compliance inspection done on the building after he purchased the property. He talked to Mr. Magner and Jim Seeger and they inshucted him to go ahead and commence the rehabilitation. He presented and explained the current photographs of the building to Ms. Moermond. He stated that company that winterized the building did not winterize the second floar which caused substantial damage and the project had become more substantial than he initially �: : April 8, 2008 Legislative Hearing Minutes believed it would be. Someone also broke into the building and stole the copper piping. � Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Knotz whether a Truth-in-Sale-of-Housing Inspection (TISH) had been done on the property prior to him purchasing it. Mr. Knotz responded that he did not and he had inspected the property himself. He believed that they were approximately 85 to 90 percent done with the project and believed that he could have the work completed by May 1. He said that the electrician still had some work to complete and that he had indicated to him that he would pull the pernut once the work was completed. Mr. Magner stated that State law dictates that the permit needs to be pulled before wark is started and if the inspector finds that there wasn't an active permit that had been issued, he could "red tag" the project and then the permit fee would double. He stated that according to STAMP, neither a TISH nor a code compliance inspection had been done prior to his purchase as the last time a TISH had been done was in 1995. He asked Mr. Knotz if he had purchased the property from Mark Wiebush. Mr. Knotz confirmed that he purchased the property from Mr. Wiebusch and that he had inspected the property himseif since he was also a reaitor. Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Magner whether any suuunary abatements had been issued since Mr. Knotz purchased the property. Mr. Magner responded that no orders had been issued since Mr. Knotz purchased the property. Ms. Moermond stated that she would recommend granting 90 days to repair the building on the condition that the following is done by May 2: 1) the $5,000 performance bond must be posted; and 2) the remainder of the permits must be pulied. She also indicated to Mr. Knotz that he should send her his closing documents. Since he was close to completing the rehabilitation, she would waive the requirement of a work plan and financial documentation to complete the rehabilitation.
