Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 402 Hope Street within fifteen (15) David Krco, attomey with Beisel & Dunlevy, appeared on behalf of his client, Avelo Mortgage LLC, the loan servicer for Mtglq Investors Lp/Co. Laurie Macko, realtor with Keller Williams, and Craig Oswell, Engineer with Ulteig, also appeazed. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Mr. Magner. Mr. Magner stated the building was a two- story, wood frame, aparhnent building on a lot of 4,792 square feet and had been vacant since July 24, 2008. A code team inspection had been done on March 9, 2009, the vacant building registration fees were current, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On January 22, 2009, 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 February 17, 2009 with a compliance date of March 19, 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 $60,000 and the building to be $210,000. Real estate taaces were current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $75,000 to $95,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $9,000 to $11,000. There had also been six summary abatetnents 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, boarding, 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 was built in 1889; however, there was no original pernut so she was unsure of the actual date, and it was a modified Italianate-style building. She said it was located in the Dayton's Bluff Historic District, had been surveyed in 1989 and was considered a contributing property to the neighborhood. She said that the porch had been enclosed with a permit being pulled in 1910 which she believed was an attempt to transition the building into a Queen Anne-style building. She said she believed the building was originally a single-family home. She said that if the recommendation were to demolish the building, she suggested this property should be forwarded to the HPC for review. Mr. Krco stated that the Bank was not in the business of rehabilitating properties and ideally, they would like to sell it to someone who was qualified to do the rehabilitation. He said he understood that since the building was a Category 3 vacant building, the Bank was prevented from selling the property. Ms. Macko stated that when she had been at a previous legislative hearing, she understood the Council was looking at passing legislation allowing the transfer of titles of category 3 vacant buildings to non-profit groups. She asked whether this ever succeeded. Mr. Magner responded that the ordinance had passed and that a Bank was required to work with the HRA who would then work with a non-profit to see if there was interest and funding to be able to rehab a proeprty. He said that in this case, Dayton's Bluff Neighbarhood Housing Services (DBNHS) wouid be the entity they would need to work with after contacting the HItA. Mr. Oswell stated that he and Mr. Krco had gone through the building and he presented an engineering report of his findings. Ae said the building suffered significant damage and he believed 09-657 May 26, 2009 Legislative Hearing Minutes .,: ; it would take more than the City's estimated cost of $95,000 to rehabilitate the building. He _ — _�ai.?r � th'c f .i;.i ,,.,r o..o„ r 3�£2333E�3EEv�� iciacriirai �nc uiiiiuiRg . _�___ _______ district and there would be preservation considerations to take into account in the rehab as well. Mr. Magner stated that there were also zoning considerations to take into account as well. The building was zoned multi-fanuly; however, the lot size was non-confornung. He believed a four- unit building would likely be required to be de-converted to a single-family dwelling particulazly given the history of problems at this property because of the over-occupancy of the building. Ms. Spong also suggested to Mr. Krco that he contact the Dayton's Bluff Community Council and meet with their vacant building committee. She said they had assisted in saving other vacant properties that had historic value to the neighborhood. Ms. Moermond stated that given the historic nature of the property, it was her desire to exhaust all options towazds saving the building. She recommended continuing the Legislative Hearing to July 14 and the Council Public Hearing to August 5 in order far Mr. Krco to work with the HRA and DBNHS. 09-657 Energy } W�{er � Bui1t-Environment May 19, 2009 Keller Williams Integrity 3464 Washington Drive Eagan, MN 55122 Attention: Laurie Macko Subject: Residential Condition Review 402 Hope Street, St. Paul, MN Project# 09.01161 To Whom It May Concern: The purpose of this letter is to report the findings of a structural condition review of the residence noted above. ASSIGNMEN`T Ulteig Engineers has been retained to provide a structural condition xeview and assessment of the condemned residence located at 402 Hope Street in St. Paul, MN, as directed by Laurie Macko of Keller Williams Integrity, the realtor for the property. BACKGROUND The structure is a two-story four-unit residence with a full basement and an unoccupied partial attic space buiit into the roof framing. The foundation is constructed of stone with several courses of masonry atop it. The above-grade struchzre is wood framed, with the roof being hand-framed. The structure appears to have been bufft around the turn of the 19�' century and has been added onto at least three times. The structure is reportedly listed on the historic register of district HPL-DB as building number RA-SPC-2230. www,ulteig.com ■ Tel 763-571-2500 � Fax 763-671-1768 � 5201 East River Road, Suite 308 ■ Minneapolis, MN 55427-�027 ICeller WIlliams Integrity Project #09.01161 May 14, 2009 Page 2 09-657 It is our understanding that the bank foreclosed on the residence last year and that it has sat vacant since. Keller Williams Integrity is acting as the realtor for the bank. At some point, the City of St. Paul issued a condemn notice (class 3) on the structure and then provided the realtor with an itemized correction letter dated March 9, 2009. Contained in this letter are numerous items found deficient by the City during their inspections, ranging from structural and landscaping to mechanical and electrical. Keller Wiliiams and the bank have requested an independent structural review of the building's condition in xegard to the City's letter comments. OBSERVATIONS 1. A site visit was performed by Craig Oswell, PE of Ulteig on May 18, 2009. The site visit consisted of a visual wallc-through, observing the exposed elements and those accessible without the removal of finished materials. The following items were noted: a. What appears to be the original portion of the structure is approximately 30 feet square and has two full stories plus a space contained with the hand-framed attic. A porch structure has been added along the front of this section extending out approximately eight feet. The structure has had two additions on the rear, each two stories in height, but progressively smaller in both width and height. The first is approximately tcventy feet long and the second is about ten feet. This makes the entire structure about 68 to 70 feet long. b. The floor framing at each level spans in the short direction from a centerline bearing wall and basement beam line to the outer walls. The framing at the upper levels could not be observed, but the first floor fraxning is 2x8 at 16" on center in the original struchzre and then 2x6 at 16" on center in the middle portion progressively getiing short uniil they are 2x4`s at the rear section of the building. Overall, the joists appear to be in good condition, however they are sagging noticeably and deflect when walked on. c. The center beam line in the basement is comprised of a 6x6 timber which is supported by steel pipes and tunber posts at about six to eight feet on center. The beam is shiiruned at several of the posts and is severely checked at the rear portion of the structure. d. The basement clear height is approximately 6'-8", with the clear at the centeriine beam being less as it is a dropped beam. The foundation walls are built of plastered stone to a height of about 5'-6°, than are masonry above that. The stone appears to be 12" to 16" thick, while the masonry is either 8" or 12" thick. The floor joists are grouted/mortared in place atop the foundation wall. Keller Williams Integrity Project#09.01161 May 19, 2009 Page 3 04-657 e. T4ie exterior gzade is about flush with the top of the stone foundation. Several cracks aze noticeable in the foundaHon, but they appeaz to be cracks in the plaster coating rather than the walls themselves. f. There are several small windows in the basement, one of which is located under the porch addition. These windows are in the masonry portion of the walls. There is also an exterior stairwell and door opening on one side at the middle portion of the structure, but it is boarded over and is not in a usable condition. g. The floor slab appears to be a skun coat of concrete and is in poor condition, being broken, uneven, or exposing dirt at most locations. h. The roof and floors show signs of water infiltration at several locations, with some ceiling openings found exposed directly to the building exterior. i. The wall framing could not be directly observed, but no significant out-of-plumb or distressed wall areas were noted. The window headers appear to be very small or non-existent at most locations. j. A wood framed exterior stairwell exists on the back wall of the structuze to the upper level. This stair is in very poor condition. k. The wiring and mechanical systems observed appear to be in severely damaged, rusted, and(or distressed. COMMEI3T5 2. The following comments are made in regard to the noted conditions: a. Overall, the structure appears to be in a sound and stable condition. However, several items within it do not meet current Code requirements and are either distressed or inadequate enough to warrant attention. b. Despate being in relatively good condition at het observable areas, the floor framing in particular at each level is severely undersized for its span and will require corrective measures. The first level could easily be fixed by jacking and installation of additional bearing beams in the basement, while the upper levels would have to be exposed and sistered with new members. c. The center beaan line and severai other framing conditions throughout the structure require corrective measures. These items are minor enough that a competent carpenter could likely perform the work with little difficulty or direction. d. The exterior rear stairwell should be removed and reframed if required. It should aiso be placed on adequate frost footings if rebuilt. 'Kellex Williams Integrity Project#09.01161 May 19, 2009 Page 4 09-657 e. The overall foundation and wall framing appeaz to currentiy be sound and stable and likely would not need significant attention if left unmodified. Should the basement's height or the exterior soil conditions be modified, further review may be required. f. The front porch addition is severely sloping down away from the structure. It appears likely that this porcKs foundation is not frost protected. g. Given the condition of the basement slab and the potential need for additional footing pads to support posts, it should be replaced. However, given the tight margin to an allowable 6'-8" ceiling clearance, the bottom of the new slab would likely have to be installed at a slightly lower elevation than the existing. h. The drainage around the s3te and the condition of the roof are allowing water to directly enter the structure. There is evident warping and staining of the wall and floor coverings. There also appears to be a high likelihood of mold being found behind the coverings throughout most of the structure. A majority of the wall coverings should be removed to search for and remediate mold, as well as any distressed or rotted framing members which may be hidden. i. The hand-framed roof inembers are currently stable, but appear to be severely rotted by water infiltration and age. The roof inembers are sheathed on the exterior by the original planking plus a layer of plywood, however gaps exist between the planknlg and these were not covered at the vaileys and ridges, allowing water to d'arectly enter the structure. Given the nature and condition of the current hip and valley hand-framing, it is likely that any modification or change in loading to the roof will make significant corrective measures of the roof framing required. j. It is also possible that asbestos could be found in the structure as well and its presence should be determined and addressed before significant work takes place. k. We could not find any record of this structure or its number being on the national or state historic registry. If it is true that it is, the recommendations made below may require approval or modification before being implemented. RECOMMENDATIONS 3. Based on our understanding of the project and the noted conditions, we make the following recommendations: a. The basement slab should be removed and replaced. b. The basement interior and exterior stairwells shouid be modified and/or repaired to allow for safer and more stable access. c. The centerline support beam should be replaced or reinforced. Keller Williams Integrity Projectk09.01161 May 19, 2009 Page 5 [�I � d. The support posts and cohimns should be repiaced, modified, or reinstalled so that they aze in flush solid contact with their supported members and bear on a adequate and stable footing. e. The floor framing at each level should leveled, then be supported or sistered by new members so that the framing is adequate for its final in-place span and loading. f. The rear stairwell to the structure should be removed and replaced if still needed. It should be framed adequately and bear on frost protected footings ox piers. g. The front porch should be removed from the structure and the wall openings to it in-filled and supported as required. h. The roof framing should be significantly modified or removed and replaced such that it is adequate and can support the loads of both snow and future reroofing work that is required. i. Gutters and downspouts, as weli as swales, catch basins, or other surface drainage elements, should be instalied around the structure to direct water away from the foundation. j. The structure should be invesiigated thoroughly for the presence of mold and asbestos with remediation implemented as required. This work should be performed by a professional company trained and competent in work of this kind. k. Any other member distresses or non-standard framing conditions found through the course if the above work should be addressed as needed by a competent carpenter, with the assistance of an engineer being involved when appropriate. BISCUSSION 4. In our opinion, the cost to perform these corrective measures, including engineering costs, will range between $90,000 and $100,000. These figures do not account for addressing mechanical, electrical, and other issues that the structure may have. It is our understanding that Keller Williams has received complete demolition bids at around $30,000. We recommend that Keller Williams and the bank review the profit margin available to them in their options, accounting for any historic registry issues, before making a final decision to repair or demolish the structure. 'Keller Williams Integrity Project#09.01161 May 19, 2009 Page 6 PROFESSIONAL OPIAiION 5. It is our professional engineering opinion that: 09-657 a. The residence is currenfly stable, but it is in an unsound and continually worsening condition which requires adequate corrective measure action be taken should the structure continue to remain unsupervised. b. The structure should remain condemned until the floor systems have been adequately repaired and all necessary mechanical, electrical, and fire safety systems have been brought into compliance with the City's requirements. c. A majority of the shuctural issues are minor in naiure, but due to the size o£ ihe structure, the cost to remedy them will likely become large. d. If the structure is not to be demolished and assuming no historic registry requirements for salvage are found to exist, the simplest and least costly repair solution may be the demolition without replacement of the most severely distressed elements, such as the front porch, the rear stairweli, and the rear addition. GENERAL 6. The observations and opinions expressed in this report are based on our professional engineering judgment and professional practice, as well as the visual inspection. 7.

He said he had a draft agreement and the plan was to sign off on a limited warranty deed and then Avelo will transfer the title and assume no further responsibility for the property. He said he did not have a closing date scheduled as of yet and was not optimistic that it would be scheduled prior to the Council Public Hearing on August 5. Ms. Moermond recommended refenring this matter back to the September 8 Legislative Hearing and September 16 Councal Public Hearing to September 16.

He said since the last hearing, he had been working with Sheri Pemberton, PED, and the title work for the property had been completed. They were still in the process of working out an agreement for payment of the taxes and assessments. Ms. Pemberton was not present for the hearing. Ms. Moermond stated that pending the completion of the transfer, she would grant the HRA 1$0 days to deterniine whether they wished to rehabilitate the structure or to proceed with demolition. If they chose to rehabilitate the building, she would grant 36 months to complete the rehab. Ms. Spong stated it was her understanding it was the desire of the HRA to rehabilitate the building. She said the HPC had not reviewed the property and if the HRA proceeded with demolition, she would first want the HPC to review the property and make recommendations. Ms. Moermond stated that she would recommend granting 180 days for the HRA to determine whether they wished to proceed with repairing the building or demolishing the building. If the HftA determines to proceed with demolition, this matter will be referred back for anothex Legislative Hearing.
