Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 318 Victoria Street North within fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution. The property owner of record, Citunortgage, did not appear. Adrianne Hannert appeared and stated that she lived next door to this property at 857 Carroll Avenue. She said that no one had lived at the property since 2006 and she and her husband maintained the property shoveling the snow every winter. She said they had met with a realtar and did a walk-thru of the building as they were interested in purchasing it as an inveshnent property. Once they saw the interiar of the house, they determined it needed too much work and were not interested in it. She said that since the property was a corner lot, if the building were demolished, it would not be good for the neighborhood; however, she did not believe it should remain a blight on the neighborhood either. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Mr. Magner. Mr. Magner stated the building was a one- story, wood frame, single-family dwelling on a lot of 4,792 square feet and had been vacant since March 29, 2008. A code compliance inspection had been done on January 22, 2009, the vacant building registration fees in the amount of $1,000 went to assessment on August 21, 2008 and on Apri129, 2009, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On December 16, 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 January 27, 2009 with a compliance date of February 26, 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 $56,400 and the building to be $37,500. Real estate taa�es were current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $60,000 to $80,000. The cost far demolition was estimated to be approximately $8,500 to $10,500. There had also been five summary abatements issued to this property since 2008, tl�ree of which went to work arder: remove garbage/rubbish, 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 a 1926 cottage which was not on the Sanborn map, was not on a contiguous block and was not in context with the neighborhood. She did not believe dexnolition would have and adverse effect. Ms. Moermond recommended the building be removed within 15 days with no option for repair.
