6. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 985 Burr Street withiia fifteen (15)
days from adoption of resolution.
The property owner of record, Eugene Soler, did not appear. No other parties of interest appeared.
Mr_ Magner stated the builcling was a tcvo-story, wood frame, single-fasnily dwelling on a lot of
4,792 squaze feet and had been vacant since November 13, 2007. A code compliance inspection
had not been done, the vacant building registration fees were delinquent in the amount of $25Q and
the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On February 12, 2008, 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 February 26, 2008 with a compliance date of
March 27, 2008. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as
defined by the Legislative Code. Runsey County TaYation estimated the market value of the land
to be approximately $34,000 and the building to be $100,300. Real estate tases were current. Code
Enfarcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approxnnately $80,000 to $90,000. The
cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $9,700 to $12,700. There had also been five
summary abatements issued to this property since 2007, five of which went to work order: to
secure the building and the City had to board the building to secure it from trespass, remove
improperiy stored refuse, boarding, cut tall grass and weeds, and remove snow and ice. Code
Enfarcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr. Magner
presented photographs of the property. He said that as was evident from the photographs, there was
a fire at the house and the owner apparently abandoned the property. He was unsure whether this
property was presently in foreclosure. He presented a copy of the letter from SHPO.
Ms. Moermond asked whether the fire was a result of arson. Mr. Magner responded that he was
unsure as he did not have the report from the Fire Department; however, he believed the properiy
was occupied at the time of the fire.
Ms. Moermond recommended the building be removed within 15 days with no option for repair.
