Ordering the ow ner to remov or re pair the buil ding(s) at 903 Burr Street within fifteen (15 - -- -- - - �a�s�'e� at�ogtio�o€�esel��t�on:-- -- -- Felicia Tolbert-Ireland appeazed and stated that she was appearing on behalf of her cousin, Dr. Gabriel Peal, the properiy owner. Mr. Ma�ner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, single-family dwelling on a lot of 6,534 square feet and had been vacant since May 1, 2007. A code compliance inspection had been done on Apri18, 2008, the vacant building registration fees were delinquent in the amount of $1,000, and the $5,000 performance bond had been posted on Apri13, 2008. On March 20, 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 16, 2008 with a compiiance date of May 16, 2008. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Tazation estimated the market value of the land to be approximately $40,000 and the building to be $100,000. Real estate taaces 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 $8,900 to $11,900. There had also been 10 snmmary abatements issued to this property since 2007, 10 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, 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 for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in 1899 and was a Victorian-style building. There was a loss of integrity with the siding been covered, the porch had been removed, and the windows on the first floor had been altered. The building did not have any historic value; however, it was on a corner lot and there were many important properties in close proximity. It was also located on a contiguous block face and she expressed concem if the house were demolished, it would create a negative impact on the neaghborhood. Ms. Ireland stated that she had suggested to her cousin that he purchase this property because it was Section 8, it appeared to be in good condition, and would be a good source of steady revenue. The tenant who was living there when Dr. Peal purchased the property had five kids and she kept the house terribly filthy. She had lured people to maintain the property which included mowing the lawn, shoveling the snow, and keeping everything clean. She claimed that they had put too much money into the house already and she didn't believe anything was wrong with the building. She did not want to put in an addirional $70,000 into repairs that the City estimated the cost to be. She had also spent $5,000 to pay the bond. If the City wanted to demolish the building, that was fine. Ms. Moermond stated that the property was not being maintained in that the City had issued 10 surmnary abatement orders all of which went to work order. She suggested that she and Dr. Peal consuit an attorney on this matter. In order to grant fime to make the repairs, she would require the following conditions be met by July 29: 1) the property must be maintained; 2) the vacant building registration fees in the amount of $1,000 needed to be paid; 3) a work plan needed to be done in accordance with the code compliance inspection; and 4) financial documentarion indicating the funding to complete the repairs. Ms. Moermond also suggested that they could sell the property to someone who was capable of doing the rehab. Since the bond had been posted in April and there July 8, 2008 Legislafive Hearing Minutes �j��"11 Page4 was only three months left to complete the repairs under th bond, she asked M Magner what the --- -- __ —_=:�e�azt�exrt's�ic�asori t�n�i�`�g�€Tie� - -- --- : — -- --- -_. Mr. Magner responded that generally, if a short axnount of rime had gone by from the tune the bond was posted and the Council then recommended the building be demolished, the owner needed to make a written request to have the bond returned. In this particular case, since three months had gone by and nothing had been done to make repairs, he believed the Department would keep the bond unless language was included in the resolution specifically requesting the bond be returned. He pointed out that since Dr. Peal had purchased the property in 2006, the City has done 23 work orders on the property. He believed tkris was an exorbitant amount of City services to one individual property at the expense of the taspayers. The property was also illegally occupied and there was one complaint of a dog biting someone. Mr. Magner also stated that he had received two phone calls concerning this property; one being from the mortgage company and one from the security company, wanting to know what needed to be done. He indicated to them that they would need to obtain a copy of the code compliance inspection, pay the vacant building fees, and obtain the necessazy permits to do the work.
