these parties will pan out.

Staff report by Supervisor Joe Yannarelly: the building is a one-and-one-half story,
wood frame, single-family dwelling with a detached one-stall garage on a lot of 4,792
square feet. According to our files, it has been a vacant building since September 1,
2010. The current property owner is 3packet.Com Inc., per Amanda and Ramsey
County Property records. On May 4, 2022, an inspection of the building was
conducted, a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance condition was developed
and photographs were taken. An Order to Abate a Nuisance Building was posted on
May 9, 2022, with a compliance date of June 8, 2022. As of this date, the property
remains in a condition which comprises a nuisance as defined by the legislative code.
Taxation has placed an estimated market value of $25,000 on the land and $157,800
on the building. Real estate taxes are current. The vacant building registration fees
were paid by assessment on September 30, 2021. A Code Compliance Inspection was
done on December 17, 2020 and has since expired. As of July 11, 2022, the $5,000
performance deposit has not been posted. There have been fifty-one Summary
Abatement notices since 2010. There have been fifty-four work orders issued for
Garbage/rubbish, Boarding/securing, Tall grass/weeds, Snow/ice, and a Flow valve.
Code Enforcement Officers estimate the cost to repair this structure exceeds
$100,000. The estimated cost to demolish exceeds $30,000.
Yahiayan: I was working with Reid before he retired, submitted my financials, and
started roofing. With the workforce we’ve been stalled. We want to rehab and get this
done. We are working with our roofing contractor and he will be handling the entire
scope of work. I should have his proposal by Thursday. We can post the Performance
Deposit. I thought we had to wait for the hearing, but we’ll do that. We’ll get everything
on the list done. I need a schedule with Craig who is licensed in St. Paul. It is hard to
get things scheduled. We have been maintaining the property.
Yannarelly: it has been pretty good lately.
Yahiayan: I did have a neighbor across the street with binoculars so he calls in.
Yannarelly: a work order for snow and ice in January, that was it.
Yahiayan: I made sure after that warning. Again it was difficult to find, this is our first
property in St. Paul. It is minute work that needs to be done. We’ve done the electrical
panel and roof.
Moermond: you’ll need a new Code Compliance Inspection. Yours was December
2020. The $5,000 was in the correspondence. I’ll need a work plan. Does Craig have a
name or company?
Yahiayan: Craig Legvold, Legvold Construction. We can schedule a new Code
