The front porch was open and intact; however, the railing had been changed. Although this property was located outside the potential Frogtown historic district, she encouraged rehab. Ms. Moermond asked how they became aware this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner responded that the Code Enforcement inspector found multiple exterior code violations and that the water and gas had been disconnected. He believed the property was in foreclosure with Wells Fargo. Ms. Moermond recommended the building be removed within 15 days with no option for repair.
