SUMMARY 1929 74th Owner: Snohomish County We inspected this property on January 4, 1971, after w received an anonymous complaint, and found the structure to be vacant, open to the public and badly deteriorated. The owner, Mrs. Deloris Siltman was contacted and she stated that she was letting the house go back as there was a large Internal Revenue Lien on the property. On March 16, 1971 we re -inspected the property and found that it was still open and further deteriorated. We advertised an intent to abate on March 26 and March 31, 1971. There were no responses to this advertisement. On November 13, 1972 we issued a formal Notice of Unsafe Building to Mrs. Siltman. This notice was returned as unclaimed. I The property was offered for sale by the Snohomish County Treasurer for back 1 taxes on November 17, 1972. As there were no bidders, the structure became the property of Snohomish County. In July of 1973, the City Attorney met with the Snohomish County Prosecutor in an attempt to resolve the matter. On October 15, 1973, Mr. Bennett wrote a letter to the Snohomish County I' Commissioners. There was no response. An inspection of the structure on November 15, 1973, revealed that there has been no effort made to resolve the matter. On November 21, 1973 the City Attorney wrote to Elmer Johnston, Snohomish County Deputy Prosecutor. Apparently there was no response to this letter. On December 20, 1973 I queried the City Attorney on the status of the property. He stated that he would call Snohomish County. A re -inspection of the property was made on January 3, 1974. The structure is still open and badly vandalized. There has been numerous neighborhood complaints about this structure.
