BUILDING DEPARTMENT (SUB STANDARD DIVISION) HEARINGS
Hearing on the demolition order for property located at 205 Studebaker Street
was held. Appearing before the Board was Mr. Winston who stated that he had
been unable to raise sufficient funds to bring the property up to standard -in
accordance with the Building Department's instructions. However, Mr. Winston
assured the Board that there is a possibility that he may be able to secure
adequate funds to bring the property up to standard. The Board directed the
Building Department not to make arrangements for demolition of said property
earlier than October 24, 1960 and, further, if Mr. Winston can give adequate
proof before this date that he has the necessary funds to bring property up to
standard, the demolition order -will be held in abeyance for 30 days thereafter.
If, by the end of this period the property has not been brought up to standard,
the Building Department will proceed with demolition. Since Mr. Winston
appeared in person before the Board and since the above orders were given
to Mr. Winston in person, no further notices will be forwarded to Mr. Winston
concerning this order:.
A progress report on property located at 523 N. St. Joseph Street was presented
to the Board by Mr. Grabarz of the Sub -Standard Division of the Building Department.
Since it appears that the Roseland Construction Company, with Mr. Gardner as
owner, may purchase this property and bring it up to standard by remodeling,
the case is continued for 30 days or until November 7, 1960.
Mr. Gaabarz reported to the Board that a Certified letter had been sent
to Mr. Edward Dobbs requesting that he appear before the Board. It nav
appears that Mr. Dobbs has been reported missing by the Police Department.
