The legal description of this property is:
Lot 15, Greenleaf Clarke's Subdivision of Block 69, Lyman Dayton's Addition
to Saint Paul.
City of Saint Paul Public Health has declared this building(s) to constitute a "nuisance" as
defined by Legislative Code, Chapter 45. Public Health has issued an order to the then
known responsible parties to eliminate this nuisance condition by correcting the deficiencies
or by razing and removing this building(s).
Inasmuch as this Order to Abate has not been complied with the nuisance condition remains
unabated, the community continues to suffer the blighting influence of this property. It is
the recommendation of Public Health that the City Council pass a resolution ordering the
responsible parties to either repair, or demolish and remove this building in a timely
manner, and failing that, authorize Public Health to proceed to demolition and removal, and
to assess the costs incurred against the real estate as a special assessment to be collected in
the same manner as taxes.
