January 13, 2009 Legislative Hearing Minutes
Page 5
Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 598 Marvland Avenue East within
fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution.
The property owners of record, Gino and Amy Thurgood, did not appear. No other parties of
interest appeared.
Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, single-family dwelling with a
detached garage on a lot of 4,792 square feet and had been vacant since July 6, 2007. A code
compliance inspection had been done on December 4, 2007, the vacant building registration fees in
the amount of $1,000 were paid by assessment on August 21, 2008, and the $5,000 performance
bond had not been posted. On September 10, 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 October 9, 2008 with a compliance date of November 7, 2008. To
date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative
Code. Ramsey County Taxation estimated the market value of the land to be approximately
$40,000 and the building to be $85,000. Real estate taxes were current. Code Enforcement
estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $44,000 to $50,000. The cost for
demolition was estimated to be approximately $6,400 to $9,400. There had also been 13 summary
abatements issued to this property since 2007, eight 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 stared
refuse, boarding, cut tall grass and weeds, and remove snow and ice. 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
1922 and was a bungalow-style house. She noted that there was a loss of integity to the exterior of
the house and originally, there had been three houses on one lot. She was not sure of the context or
integrity of the neighborhood; however, she encouraged rehab of the building.
Ms. Moermond recommended the building be removed within 15 days with no option for repair.
