SUt•SMARY Unsafe Bui�ding at 4917 South 3rd Street. During a routine inspection on September 5, 1973 we noticed ',hat the structure at 4917 South 3rd Street �aas vacant and open to the public and being vandalized. A correction letter was mailed to the owner, Mr. Iiarry .'.akoff, on December 13, 1973 by certificed mail. This letter was received by D1rs. Zakoff on December 17, 1973. I�s we did not receive a response from the owner and t.he property had become further deteriorated we mailed Mr. 7akoff a Notice of Unsafe IIuilding calling for demolition of the structure. There was no response %6fn this notice. On February 25, 1974 we scheduled a IIuilding Officials Iiearing. Jade Realty Conpany of Marysviile represented the owner and in- dicated that they would secure the Uuilding and clean up the lot immediately and call for bids to mpair or remove the sturture. � reinspection of the property on May 8, 1974 showed that nothing had been done and the dwell�ng was being badly vandalized. t4e again appealeC to hir. 3a'off by letter and on May 22, 1974 Dir. Zakoff wrote that he ha�. sold the property. The new owner, Mr. Rcr Olin, cleaned up the lot and indicated that he was going to rehabi.litate the building. At this point there was a question over who actually owned the property but apparently the tiCle was cleared and trasferred to Mr. Ar.chie Grow as of I'ebruary 11, 1975. A discussion with Mr. Grow confirmed this and he also indicated that he was goin9 to rehabilitate the building. D1r. Grow took out building permits on August 15, 1975 but did not begin work. After several contacts with Mr. Grow he said that he changed his mind and was going to demolish the stucture. Mr. Grow obtained a demolition permit on March 26, 1776 but, again, did nat begin work. On July 23, 1976 we mailed notice to D1r. Grow that we were going to present the matter to the City Council. D1r. Grow received this notice on August 2, 1976. On August 18, 1976 it was noted that the roof covering of thc structurc was torn oLf and laying in the yar.d.
