Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 652 Concord Street within fifteen (15) days from adoption ofresolution. William E. Goldberg, property owner, appeared. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Mr. Magner. Mr. Magner stated the building was a one and one-half story, wood frame, single-family dwelling with a one-stall garage on a lot of 3,049 square feet and had been vacant since September 29, 2006. A code compliance inspection had been done on July 17, 2009, the vacant building registration fees in the amount of $1,000 went to assessment on August 29, 2009, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On Apri130, 2009, 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 June 1, 2009 with a compliance date of July 1, 2009. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Tasation estimated the market value of the land to be approximately $28,200 and the building to be $61,600. Real estate taxes were current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $50,000 to $6Q000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $10,000 to $12,000. There had also been seven summary abatements issued to this property since 2006, three of which went to work order: remove improperly stored refuse and debris, cut tall grass and weeds, and other exterior. 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 1925 and was a bungalow-style building which had been stuccoed. She stated that this was a unique parcel with two houses on a triangle lot. It had not been surveyed and did not have any potential as a historic resource to the neighborhood; however, she encouraged rehab of the building. Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Magner when the last permit had been pulled on the property. Mr. Magner responded that there was an electrical permit pulled in 1999. No other permits had been pulled to date. Mr. Goldberg stated that he had purchased the property approximately 10 yeazs ago, had sold it on a contract for deed to an employee of his and when the employee lost his job, he then re-acquired the property. He said he had replaced the roof, updated the electrical and the building was a solid struchu worthy of rehab. He said that when the code compliance inspection had been done, one of the inspectors who he would not name, indicated to him that he believed the building should not be classified a category 3 but a category 2 vacant building given its good condition. He had done some work on the house; but had been "red tagged" as he was told he was performing work without a permit. He said he had previously had health issues which caused a financial strain and had been unable to wark on repairing the house. He was now in a financial position to complete the rehab and his son would be occupying the building. He claimed he had $50,000 available financing to complete the rehab; however, he estimated the cost of the rehab to be approximately $18,000 to $25,000. He believed the city's estimate of $50,000 was too high as he had already put in approximately $8,000 to $9,000 in repairs. He said he had obtained some bids and was going to have the electrical contractor who had previously done work go through the property again to see if there was anything else that needed to be done. He presented photos of the property. 09-1109 September 8, 2009 Legislative Hearing Minutes Page 6 Ms. Moermnod reviewed the photos and said it appeared there was fresh drywall and fresh paint on the walls. She said it also appeared that the foundation had deteriorated which was a more costly repair. She asked Mr. Goldberg about the building being red tagged. Mr. Goldberg responded that he had replaced the garage door and a window on the gazage and was tagged for doing the work without a pernut. Ms. Moermond stated that in order to recommend a grant of time, the following conditions must be met by the close of business on September 28: 1) the $5,000 performance deposit must be posted; 2) provide a work plan with timelines to complete the work; 3) provide contractor bids; 4) provide financial documentation demonstrating the ability to complete the repairs; 5) provide an affidavit dedicating the funds to this project; and 6) the property must be maintained. If the aforementioned conditions were met, she would recommend granting 180 days to remove or repair the building.
