Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 770 Bush Avenue within fifteen (15) days from adoption ofresolution. The property owner of record, 7& A Properties Group LLP, did not appear. No other parties of interest appeared. Mr. Magner stated the building was a one-story, wood frame, single-family dwelling on a lot of 5,227 square feet and had been vacant since May 17, 2006. A code compliance inspection had been done on October 25, 2006, the vacant building registration fees were current, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On November 25, 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 November 26, 2008 with a compliance date of December 26, 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 $35,600 and the building to be $29,800. Real estate taaces were current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $30,000 to $50,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $4,940 to $7,940. There had also been eight sumuiary abatements issued to this property since 2006, two of which went to work order: remove graffiti, 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 how they became aware this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner responded that the building appeared to be unoccupied, was boarded, and there were numerous exterior violations. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in 1884 and was an early worker's-cottage style building. There had been many alterations to the exterior of the building; however, it appeared to haue the original clapboard. She noted that it was next to the railroad, the block face itself had many holes in it and the context had been lost. She did not believe demolition would have an adverse effect on the neighborhood. Ms. Moermond stated that she did not believe the building had any potential for rehabilitation and recommended the building be removed within 15 days with no option for repair.
