45 Mr. Anderson read from the minutes of January 15, 1981, noting that the
46 owners had not appeared nor made contact and the Board issued an order
47 that the Unsafe Building Ordinance was in effect and ordered the build-
48 ings to be removed within a thirty (30) day period.
49
50 Mr. -Carl Bargman apologized for not appearing on January 15, 1981,
51 saying it was an oversight on his part and he thought he was to appear
52 the following week. He said the owner thought he had shown good faith
53 by acting promptly to board up the dwellings and had remedied the problem
54 by preventing access to them. It is their intention to restore the
55 properties to their best use, which is single family use. They now have
56 the title back from the Buccellas and ownership is now clear. He asked
57 that the Board vacate their decision of January 15th in that the properties
58 are no longer unsafe and it is the owners intention to return them to the
59 best use as single family dwellings. He said the buildings have solid
60 frames, solid roofs and furnaces, but need glass and wallboard.
61
62 Mr. Roberts said they did secure them, but he would not want them to set
63 for years and wants a timetable for work to be completed.
