Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 193 Front Avenue and 964 _ ----- - '_s�otidts� e�ireE��l�aen (25�t�ay��ro;�a�dop�an-0�� ___ _ -- -- — The property owner of record, US Bank NA, c/o BNC America's, did not appear. No other parties of interest appeared. Mr. Magner stated the building was a one and one-half story, wood frame, single-family dwelling on a lot of 3,920 square feet and had been vacant since August 16, 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 March 5, 2008, an inspection of the building was done and a list of deficiencies which consritute a nuisance condition was developed. An order to abate a nuisance building was posted on April 18, 2008 with a compliance date of May 18, 2008. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Taxation esrimated the market value of the land to be approximately $30,400 and the building to be $111,400. Real estate tases were current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $50,000 to $60,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $9,200 to $12,220. There had also been four suminary abatements issued to this property since 2007, three of which went to work order: cut tall grass and weeds, and remove snow and ice. Mr. Magner stated that he believed that at one time, this property was a duplex which was why, he believed, there were two addresses. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. He presented photographs of the property. Ms. Moermond asked how they became aware this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner stated Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building may have been two houses that had been connected, it was built in 1910 and the ornamentation around the door appeared to be Greek-revival style. There was a loss of integrity as the siding had been covered, it had not been surveyed, and was located on a corner lot. She believed that if the building was demolished, any in-fill housing would need to be sympathetic to the neighborhood. Ms. Moermond recalled that there had been a fire at this building some years ago. Mr. Magner responded that this was conect; however, he was unsure of the date. There had been a lot of problems with this property and it was not the first time it had been a vacant building. Someone had rehabbed the property, minimuxn repairs had been made, and it became a rental property. This was located in the Invest St. Paul area and there would need to be a strong commitment if anyone were to purchase the property for rehab. If it is demolished, strong in-fill guidelines would need to be in place so that the property would lend good aesthetic value to the neighborhood. Ms. Moermond recommended the building be removed within 15 days with no option for repair.
