Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at-967 �c��ertori Sfreet within fifteen
�5�_days �o�n a�optioa of resolution.
Caitlin Dowling, attorney with Wilford & Geske, appeazed and stated that she represented
Countrywide Bank who was the loan servicer for MERS. She said the sheriff sale was scheduled
for June 11, 2009 and her client had ordered the code compliance inspection. She said once the
inspection was done, her client would make the determination whether it would go forward to repair
the building, in which case they would shorten the redemption period, or whether the house should
be demolished. She was requesting mare time for her client to make a determinarion on the
property.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Mr. Magner. Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-
story, wood frame, duplex on a lot of 4,792 square feet and had been vacant since December 9,
2008. A code compliance inspection had not been done, the vacant building registration fees were
current, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On December 8, 2008, an
inspection of the building was done and a list of deficiencies which consritute a nuisance condition
was developed. An arder to abate a nuisance building was posted on January 26, 2009 with a
compliance date of February 25, 2009. 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 $19,400 and the building to be $124,300. Real estate
taates were current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately
$60,000 to $70,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $10,000 to
$12,OOQ. There had also been four summary abatements issued to this property since 2008, four 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 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
1889 and was a Victorian-era building. She said the integrity was fair with the windows being
intact; the block face was contiguous with a strong rhythin of houses on the block. She said this
house was not in any historic district and did not warrant designation on its own_
Ms. Moermond asked about the status of the building being a duplex. Ms. Spong responded that
she would need to look at the permit card to determine whether it was built as a single-family or
duplex. Ms. Moermond stated that given the size of the lot, the building would need to be de-
converted to a single-family home unless it was originally built as a duplex.
Mr. Manger stated that the zoning was listed as Ra which was single family and in order to be able
to rehab the building as a duplex, it would be necessary to file an appeal to the Board of Zoning
Appeals for a determination.
Ms. Moermond recommended continuing the Legislative Hearing to May 26 and the Council Public
Hearing to June 17.
