Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 655 Elfelt Street within fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution. The property owner of record, Deutsche Bank National Trust Co., did not appear. No other parties of interest 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 on a lot of 3,485 square feet and had been vacant since June 18, 2008. A code compliance inspection had been done on January 7, 2009, the vacant building registration fees in the amount of $1,000 were paid by assessment on December 19, 2008, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On August 23, 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 15, 2008 with a compliance date of November 14, 2008. 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 $30,500 and the building to be $74,900. Real estate t�es for 2008 were delinquent in the amount of $2,981.44, plus penalty and interest. Code Enfarcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $70,000 to $80,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $9,900 to $12,900. There had also been four summary abatements issued to this property since 2008, 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 and debris, boarding, and cut tall grass and weeds. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr. Magner presented photographs ofthe property. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Boulware. Ms. Boulwue stated that this building was located in the potential Frogtown Historic District and according to the Sanborn map, the earliest date that she could find when the building was built was 1903; however, it appeazed to be 1890s construction. The surrounding homes were flats and the original construction had two houses on one lot. She did not believe demolition would have an adverse effect on the neighborhaod. Ms. Moermond recommended the building be removed within 15 days with no option for repair.
