REPORT PREPARED BY:   Julie Wyatt, Environmental Inspector

The referenced property is in an unsafe and blighted condition.  The structures (garage and house) were relocated to this property from 1503 Haskell and have remained on trailers for approx 5 months with no change. A foundation was constructed in October/November 2005 and has remained open and not secure since that time.

These conditions are found to be substandard in accordance with the City Code, including but not limited to the following code sections:

1997 Uniform Building Code

SECTION 102 - UNSAFE BUILDINGS OR STRUCTURES All buildings or structures regulated by this code that are structurally unsafe or not provided with adequate egress, or that constitute a fire hazard, or are otherwise dangerous to human life are, for the purpose of this section, unsafe. Any use of buildings or structures constituting a hazard to safety, health or public welfare by reason of inadequate maintenance, dilapidation, obsolescence, fire hazard, disaster, damage or abandonment is, for the purpose of this section, an unsafe use. Parapet walls, cornices, spires, towers, tanks, statuary and other appendages or structural members that are supported by, attached to, or a part of a building and that are in deteriorated condition or otherwise unable to sustain the design loads that are specified in this code are hereby designated as unsafe building appendages.

All such unsafe buildings, structures or appendages are hereby declared to be public nuisances and shall be abated by repair, rehabilitation, demolition or removal in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Dangerous Buildings Code or such alternate procedures as may have been or as may be adopted by this jurisdiction. As an alternative, the building official, or other employee or official of this jurisdiction as designated by the governing body, may institute any other appropriate action to prevent, restrain, correct or abate the violation.
