e property owner of record, Scot Sorum, appeared and stated that he had purchased the property
and had already begun the rehab. He presented a work plan and financial documentation.
Mr. Magner stated the building was a one and one-half story, wood frame, single-family dwelling
on a lot of 4,792 square feet and had been vacant since April 10, 2007. A code compliance
inspection had been done on July 10, 2007, the vacant building registration fees were current, and
the �5,000 performance bond had been posted on 3une 6, 2008. On March 18, 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 compliance
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 TaYation estimated the market value of the land
to be approximately $56,100 and the building to be $58,600. Real estate taxes were current. Code
Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $40,000 to $50,000. The
cost far demolirion was estimated to be approximately $7,400 to $10,400. There had also been four
suminary abatements issued to this property since 2007, one of which went to work order: to secure
the building and the City had to board the building to secure it from trespass and boarding. 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
1885 and was a workers-cottage style house. The building had good integrity with original
windows, however, the siding was covered and the front porch had been enclosed. She encouraged
rehab of this property.
Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Sorum what the purchase price was far the property. Mr. Sorum
responded that he paid $15,000. He said that the plumbing, electrical, and heating contractors had
ail pulled permits and the rough-ins were completed.
Ms. Moermond asked what the plans were for this property once the rehab was completed. Mr.
Sorum responded that he would likely rent it out; however, he would be willing to sell the property
on a contract for deed.
Ms. Moermond stated that she would need the financial documentation indicating that he was
willing to dedicate $40,000 from his bank account to compiete the rehab of this project by August 1.
She stated that she will recommend to the City Council that they grant 60 days to complete the
repairs.
