• Vandals have been removing wood paneling and lighting fires inside the building. This is primarily a wooden structure and these interior camp-fires could easily result in a very large fire engulfing the entire structure. A large fire of this type would threaten adjacent buildings and businesses. • Numerous bags of garbage are piled in a front storage room. This type of debris often attracts rodents. Furthermore, this creates a health hazard due to vagrants and children also entering the building. • Staff periodically inspects the exterior of this building and has repeatedly found that vandals and or vagrants have removed door/window boardings and re-entered the building. A small teenager-type bicycle was observed just inside the door, indicating that children have also been entering the building. The above listed conditions constitute violations of Roseville's City Code: Sections 407.02 J, 407.02 K, 906.05 A, 906.05 B, and 906.OSC which require buildings to be maintained in a clean, safe, sanitary, secure and well maintained condition. Section 407.03 J which prohibits buildings becoming an attractive danger to minor children. • Section 407.03 C which prohibits buildings from endangering the safety of the public. Mr. Breunic, within the next 30 days this building must be brought into compliance with Roseville's City Code. Specifically: • All site landscaping must be cut, trimmed and cleaned to alleviate the blighted appearance it now conveys. • The exterior of the building must be repaired. Missing trim pieces and missing soffits must be replaced and the entire building repainted. • The interior of the building must be entirely cleaned. All debris (such as damaged equipment, broken glass, etc.) and garbage must be removed. • The building must be secured against entry by children and vagrants. Methods used to board the building must be more substantial than past methods. Please Note: Under the Hazardous Building Law (Minn. Stat. 463.15-.23) the City may seek court permission to raze a structure if the structure meets the definition of "hazardous building" which is defined as: `Any building or property, which because of inadequate maintenance, dilapidation, physical damage, unsatisfactory conditions, or abandonment, constitutes a fire hazard or a hazard to public safety or health.' ` ^
