The vacant property is on the market for sale. The property is in the Menominee South neighborhood, near the border of River East neighborhood. The house is assessed for$64,300. The owner was asking $59,900. Staff offered $43,900 based on the amount of rehabilitation work that would be required. ANALYSIS Staff believes the structure should be demolished. Staff has inspected the property, and based on the condition, it would take about$75,000 to fix the problems and renovate the house. There are problems with the roof, foundation and basement that will cost significant amounts of money. Demolition would cost about$10,000 to $20,000. The lot is 44' x 119' which will make it difficult for rebuilding. The house is located in one of the lowest scoring blocks on the Quality of Life Map. The property and block score below average for condition, vacancy and code violations. The house condition contributes to the low score for the block. Removing the house will increase the block and neighborhood score.
