The Chi�f Code Enforcement Off�cer of the C�ty of Rosevi7le h�s prepared h�s report as required by the Ordinance, a capy of which is attached. You will note in Paragraph 2 of h1s report, that he indicates the need to rep�ace �he elec�rical sys�em; heating plant, plum�ing syste�, replace the exterior windaws a�d gutters, etc. The dkelling is obviously in the vicinity of 50 years old and comes �rom a nei�hbor�ood likely older ihan that. 7�e �ome has alum�num siding and a fire�lace. In �iew of the extensive ef�ort and investment needed to move the home and bring it up Code as pointed out by the Bui�ding Inspector, one wonders at the econom�c viability of moving such a ho�e to a good �uality residential lot as is proposed in this case. 4.
