Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 714 Hawthorne Avenue East within fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution. Christina Webber, attorney with Wilford & Geske, appeazed on behalf of the property owner, Countrywide Home Loans and Fannie Mae. Mr. Magner stated the building was a two and one-half story, wood frame, duplex on a lot of 4,792 squaze feet and had been vacant since February 6, 2008. 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 Mazch 26, 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 Apri14, 2008 with a compliance date of May 5, 2008. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Taacation estimated the mazket value of the land to be approximately $45,500 and the building to be $91,700. Real estate taxes 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 $9,400 to $12,400. There had also been two summary abatements issued to this property since 2008, two of which went to work order: to secure the building and the City had to board the building to secure it from trespass, 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 how they became aware this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner responded that that the C of O was revoked by Fire and referred the property to the Vacant Building Program. Ms. Moermond asked far a report from Ms. Barr. Ms. Barr stated that this building was built in 1888 and had good integrity with original windows, an original porch; however, the exterior had been covered. There was a mix of construction on this block with no historic context. She encouraged that the property be rehabilitated but would not be adverse to demolition. Ms. Weber stated that the foreclosure occurred in March, the redemption period was reduced, and the bank would take possession of the property on June 25. The bank has been actively marketing the property and she was requesting additional time to find a buyer. Ms. Moermond noted that the property was not being maintained. Ms. Weber said that she had talked to her client and advised them to hire a management company to take care of the exterior of the property. She had also explained the process of paying the vacant building registration fees, the vacant building registration form would need to be filled out, and the performance bond would need to be posted by any potential buyer. Betty Revoir, 708 Hawthorne Avenue East, stated that the neighbors would like to see this property demolished. Ms. Moermond stated that the following must be provided by the close of business on July 9: 1) post the $5,000 performance bond; 2) pay the vacant building fees; 3) vacant building registration form must be filed; 4) the property must be maintained; and 5) apply far the code compliance inspection. If these conditions are met, she will recommend continuing the Legislative Hearing to August 12 and Council Public Hearing to August 20.
