Brief history review: An inspection conducted 9/26/05 revealed that this property is in need of significant repairs. Correction Notices have been issued both last year (2005) and this year for the property but there has been no response. Copies of the Correction Notices are enclosed. Currently the property is vacant and in foreclosure. This property has become an attractive nuisance and a blighting influence on the area. A review of the building exterior reveals the following areas/items to be repaired as the enclosed photos illustrate: 1) Windows 2) Doors 3) Railings 4) RoofS) Painting 6) Porches/landings. A call placed to WPS on 9/21/06 revealed that both the gas and electric meters have been sealed. The City of Oshkosh's Water Department has informed this office that the water has been turned off at the curb. Without working water, heat and electricity this building should be considered uninhabitable. Also note that the currently listed owner ofthe property, Steven F Hobbs, had applied for a rehab loan through the City (copy of application enclosed). fu said application, Mr. Hobbs indicated that the furnace needed replacement/repair due to the fact that it did not produce enough heat to adequately heat the residence. We are requesting an abatement order that would require (1) the dwelling be razed and removed or (2) ifthe owner should chose to repair the dwelling, make all necessary repairs to bring the dwelling into compliance with all standards of the City of Oshkosh's Property Maintenance Codes and allow an interior inspection conducted by this division to determine if other violations/hazards exist that need to be corrected.
