Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 1179 Jackson Street within fifteen (15) days from adoprion ofresolution. The property owner of record, Kelly Ann Hessler, did not appeaz. No other parties of interest appeared. Mr. Magner staYed the buil@ing was a one story, wood frame, single-family dwelling with a detached two-stalt and one-stall garage on a lot of 5,663 square feet and had been vacant since February 2, 2008. A code compliance inspection had been done on October 21, 2009, the vacant building registration fees were, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On July 20, 2009, an inspection of the building was done and a list of deficiencies wluch constitute a nuisance condition was developed. An order to abate a nuisance building was posted on August 13, 2009 with a compliance date of September 14, 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 $23,400 and the building to be $98,700. Real estate taxes were current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to exceed $75,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $9,000 to $11,000. There had also been eight summary abatements issued to this property since 2008, 11 of which went to wark order: to secure the building and the City had to boazd the building to secure it from trespass, remove improperly stored refuse and debris, boarding/securing, 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 1890 and was a worker's cottage-style building. She noted that there was a loss oF integrity given the altera6ons to the exterior and since this property was not located in any potential historic district, she did not believe demolition would have an adverse effect on the neighborhood. Ms. Moermond recommended the building be removed within 15 days with no option for repair.
