Mr. Magner stated the building was a one and one-half story, wood frame, single-family dwelling with a detached wood-frame shed on a lot of 2,613 square feet and had been vacant since September 6, 2007. A code compliance inspection had been done on October 17, 2007, the vacant building registration fees were current, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On March 1 l, 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 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 Legislarive Code. Ramsey County Taxation estimated the mazket value of the land to be approximately $33,400 and the building to be $69,400. Real estate tases 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 $10,498 to $15,498. There had also been two sutmnary abatements issued to this property since 2007, three 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, remove miscellaneous junk and debris, cut tall grass and weeds, and remove snow and ice. Mr. Magner stated that he received a call from Karen Reid, NeDA, to let him know that they had purchased the building and would like to see it removed for future development of the land. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. He presented photographs of the property. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that demolition of this building would have no adverse impact on the neighborhood. Ms. Moermond recommended the building removed within 15 days with no option for repair.
