Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 326 Robie Street East within fifteen (I S) days from adoption of resolution. The property owner of record, HSBC Bank USA, did not appeaz. No other parties of interest appeared. Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, single-family dwelling with a detached two stall garage on a lot of 5,663 square feet and had been vacant since August 1, 2007. 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 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 April 1, 2008 with a compliance date of May 1, 2008. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legisiative Code. Ramsey County Taxation estimated the market value of the land to be approximately $43,400 and the building to be $128,500. Real estate taYes were current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $75,000 to $85,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $9,400 to $12,400. There had also been four summary abatements issued to this property since 2007, six of which went to work order: to secure the building and the City had to board the building to secure it from trespass, remove miscellaneous junk and debris, boarding, cut tall grass and weeds, and remove snow and ice. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr. Magner presented photographs of the property. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Barr. Ms. Barr stated that this building was built in the 1950's and there was no context to the neighborhood block concerning the styles of houses. She did not believe there would be any adverse effect if the building were demolished. Ms. Moermond stated that she would refer this property to the City Attorney's Office. She recommended the building be removed within 15 days with no option for repair.
