Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 745 En�lewood Avenue within fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution. The property owner of record, Bank of New York Trust Co., c/o Homecomings Financial, did not appear. Mai Yer Soung and Ben Soung appeared and stated that they had recently purchased the property and were in the process of rehabbing the property. Mr. Magner stated the building was a one and one-half story, wood frame, duplex with a detached shed on a lot of 5,227 square feet and had been vacant since November 6, 2007. A code compliance inspection had been done on September 24, 2008, the vacant building registrarion fees were current, and the $5,000 performance bond had been posted on September 3, 2008. On July 30, 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 August 11, 2008 with a compliance date of September 10, 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 $36,400 and the building to be $127,900. Real estate taaces for 2008 were delinquent in the amount of $1,464.97, plus penalty and interest. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $50,000 to $60,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $9,915 to $12,915. There had also been one summary abatement issued to this property since 2007, two 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 miscellaneous debris, and cut tall grass and weeds. 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 1887 and was a workers cottage-style building. The porch was not original, the siding had been covered; however, the bay window was intact. She encouraged rehabilitation. Ms. Soung stated that they had already pulled many of the permits to do the work and anticipated the project would be completed by the end of the month. She said she believed that the outstanding property taxes had been paid; however, she would check with her realtor to confirm whether the payment had been made. Mr. Magner noted that STAMP indicated that the following permits had been pulled: building permit on October 2; electrical permit on November 14; mechanical and warm air, ventilation on December 1; and plumbing permit on December 9. He noted that none of the permits had been finaled to date and that a certificate of code compliance would need to be issued by Jim Seeger once the rehab project was completed. Ms. Moermond stated that the following must provided by December 30: 1) confirm that the property tases have been paid; 2) provide a work plan to be done in accordance with the code compliance inspection; and 3) provide financial documentation.
