Increasing Vacant Building Fees
March 7, 2008
COMMERCEBUILDING Telephone 651-2669090
8 Four[h St. E, Suite 200 Facrinule 65]-2669724
SainiPaul,Minnesota5J10H02J Web: wm�rv.stpaul.gov/dri
As you all are aware, the number of registered vacant buildings is increasing every month; as of February, 2008,
we have more than 1700 registered vacant structures within the city. This number is four to five times the
average tracked for the last 10 years of the program. Inspectors and support personnel have been struggling to
keep the problem manageable. The focus has been on minimizing the impact of the properties that pose the
greatest number of problems and threat to neighborhood stability. In most cases, these are Category 2 and 3
properties, those that are in the worst physical condition.
There are a number of enforcement tools available to city officials, the most measurable of which are build'mg
deficiency inspections (BDIs), Orders to Abate Nuisance Conditions (OTAs), and Resolutions. A BDI occurs to
identify those code deficiencies that must be corrected before the building can be reoccupied; these are
undertaken when owners express an interest in rehabilitating a building. An OTA is issued when the building
has been identified as a problem, either as a result of being insecure or as a result of a dangerous lack of
maintenance. Resolutions aze City Council decisions on a properry, often ordering the building to be
demolished. 48 structures were razed in 2007, and 15 were demolished in January, 2008.
So far the Department of Safety and Inspections has been able to manage the tremendous increase in workload
and expense by shifting staff resources to the Vacant Building unit and obtaining an advance in CDBG funding
for demolitions. While these changes have helped us keep pace with the problem, we believe we are at the point
where it is necessary to raise our fees to insure that future revenues will meet our expenses.
The two primary sources of funding for staff are the fees we charge for the Code Compliance Inspections and
the annual Vacant Building fee. Neither of these fees presently charged covers the cost of the services provided
and both need to be revised. The Code Compliance Inspection is currently $138.00 for a single family structure,
and $172.00 for a duplex. These fees should be increased to $475.00 and $595.00, respectively. The cost of
the Vacant Building monitoring fee ranges between $250.00 and $500.00, depending on how many years the
structure has remained vacant. The analysis of our cost is that the fee should be a uniform $500.00 per year.
The increase in the Code Compliance fee represents more than a 300% increase. Therefore we recommend
phasing in the increase in two segments, with half of the increase in 2008 and the remaiving half of the increase

in 2009. On the other hand, the Vacant Building Monitoring fee is within the range currently charged so we aze
recommending the $500.00 fee be approved in 2008.
We have attached several spreadsheets which show our calculations and the total amount of funds that we
expect to raise with these increases. In a related vein, we will be seeking an increase in spending authority for
approximately half of the additional funds that we expect to see.
Please let us know if you have any questions regarding this matter.

*For VBs this is 1600, for Code Compliance inspections, this is the average of 2006 and 2007 numbers.
**Revenues from many types of fees aze not broken down to this level of detail in the budget, therefore 2008 Code
Compliance Inspection fee revenue is estimated �t ffie average number of inspections for 2006 and 2007 at the
current fee.
***Based on start of second quarter adoption, 50% collection nte for vacant buildings fees and 100% collection
for code compliance inspections
****Based on 50% collection rate fa vacant buildings and 100% collection rate for code compliance inspections
NOTE: The difference between expected collection rates for Code Compliance Inspection fees and Vacant
Building fees is substanrial, but warranted. Ofren, vacant properties aze ncglected and, as such, iYs difficult to
obtain payment from their owners. Code compliance inspections aze initiated by the owner when s/he is prepazed
to invest in the property; payment is therefore more forthcoming.
