Tom Yang appeared on behalf of his son, Shinbay Yang, the property owner. 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 September 12, 2007. A code compliance inspection had been done on August 6, 2009, the vacant building registration fees in the amount of $1,000 were paid, and the $5,000 performance bond had been posted March 15, 2010. On February 17, 2010, 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 March 24, 2010 with a compliance date of April 26, 2010. 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 $20,400 and the building to be $71,800. Real estate taxes for the first half of 2010 were delinquent in the amount of $1,826.24, plus penalty and interest. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to exceed $25,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to exceed $10,000. There had also been six summary abatements issued to this property since 2007, seven 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/securing, cut tall grass and weeds, and remove snow and ice. Mr. Magner stated that the property went through the sale review process and according to notes in STAMP, it was being converted to a single-family dwelling. A building permit had also been pulled on March 15, 2010, the same day the performance deposit was posted. He presented photogxaphs of the property. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was a built in 1905 and was a worker's cottage-style building. The house had good integrity with original siding, an open porch and it appeared the porch columns were also original. It was one of the larger structures on the two-block faces which had a lot of infill housing. This property had not been surveyed, was not located in any potential historic district, and thexe was no potential for historic designation on its own. However, she encouraged rehab. Mr. Yang stated that his son purchased the property at a foreclosure sale at the end of December 2009. He estimated that they had completed approximately 60 to 65 percent of the work and had bids from licensed subcontractors for plumbing, heating and electrical. He believed they would contract to have the plumbing done first with heating and electrical to follow. It was his understanding that when he posted the performance bond, that he would be given six months to complete the repairs to the building. Ms. Moermond stated that the following conditions must be met by the close of business on June 7: 1) submit a work plan to include estimates of the amount of work done by the property owner, including supplies, put into repair of the building; 2) submit subcontractor bids; 3) submit financial documentation indicating financing in the amount of $25,000; 4) the delinquent property taxes must be paid; and 5) the property must be maintained. If the afarementioned conditions are met, she will recommend granting time to October 1 to complete the rehabilitatlon of the building.
