Mr. Magner stated the building was a one story, wood frame, single-family dwelling with a detached one-stall gazage on a lot of 4,792 squaze feet and had been vacant since 7uly 21, 2008. A code compliance inspection had been done on January 27, 2009, the vacant building registration fees in the amount of $1,000 went to assessment on July 21, 2009, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On Apri122, 2009, 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 June 8, 2009 with a compliance date of July 8, 2009. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Tasation estimated the market value of the land to be approximately $20,400 and the building to be $62,400. Real estate taxes were. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $75,000 to $85,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $10,000 to $12,000. There had also been nine summary abatements issued to this property since 2008, 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, and remove snow and ice. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr. Magner presented photographs of the property. Ms. Moermond asked for a copy of the demolition bids.
