<br />1with
<br />recommendations and findings of the Building Commissioner as to the deteriorated
<br />Ieondition
<br />of the specific house in question, in view of the fact that houses on the
<br />iadjoining
<br />lots on each side of this property, and the houses on the opposite side of
<br />,the
<br />street being in very good condition, together with the concensus of opinion of the
<br />,Board
<br />being that an expenditure of1;000.00 would restore this house to a satisfactory
<br />structural condition, the Board accordingly directed the Building Commissioner to issue
<br />;;the
<br />required building permit for this rehabilitation work to proceed; it being speci-
<br />ficially agreed by Attorney Montgomery, as the representative of the Mary Kowalik Trust
<br />•
<br />1
<br />that -

<br />Building Commissioner's approval.
<br />2. The concrete block building on the premises shall not be used as
<br />living quarters.
<br />3. The rear part of the house, in the nature of a storm porch, shall be
<br />torn down.
<br />4.. And specifically the kitchen floor, showing evidence of rotted joists
<br />.
<br />beneath, is to be repaired to meet with the Building Commissionerts
<br />approval.
