April 8, 2008 Legislative Hearing Minutes Page 10 11. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 690 Suns Avenue within fifteen (15} days from adoption ofresolution. The property owner of record, Countrywide Home I,oans, Inc. did not appear. No other parties of interest appeared. Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame duplex with a detached two-stall garage on a lot of 4,792 squaze feet and had been vacant since dctober 8, 2007. A code compiiance inspection had been done on March 24, 2008, the vacant building regislration fees were current, and 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 constitute a nuisance condition was developed. An order to abate a nuisance building was posted on January 3, 2008 with a compliance date of February 4, 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 $34,300 and the building to be $138,600. Real estate tases 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 $9,849 to $12,849. There had also been four sucnmary abatements issued to this property since 2007, two o£which went to work order: to secure the building and Yhe City had to board the building to secure it from trespass, remove improperly stared refuse and debris, and an emergency boarding. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr. Magner stated that this property was located in an area that had experienced extensive vandalism and anything of intrinsic value had been stolen from the buildings. He presented photographs of the property. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was located on a block where they were conducting a historic resource review as there was a high level of architectural integrity to the buildings. She noted that fhis property was located one block off of Payne Avenue which was a national registered district. This property did not have a lot of architectural detail and had not been inventoried; however, it did contribute to the 1880's era. She recommended that the building be rehabilifafed as this block was very intact. She stated fhaf staff had gone out to this neighborhood and counted 11 to 13 houses out of 23 properties on the block that were currently vacant. Ms. Moermond stated that since no one had come forward with any plans for rehabilitarion and the bond had not been posted, she recommended the building be removed within 15 days with no opYion for repair.
