Home My WebLink About1995-06-26 95-297 ORDERC nal Action Date June 26, 1995 Item No. 95-297 Directing the City Manager to take action relative to a Item/Subject: property located at 51 Seventh Street Responsible Department Code Enforcement Division Commentary: The structure located at 51 Seventh Street has been declared unfit for human habitation. The C.C. Graham Trust transferred title, through a quitclaim deed to Ben Fairbrother on the day before the 1993 tax liens matured. it is the opinion of staff this building is beyond rehabilitation. Located an a substandard lot, interest has been expressed by one abutter who desires to rase the structure and add the lot to his. This individual would like to eventually add a driveway and garage. This matte[ is complicated by Mr. Fairbrother's position that the quitclaim deed resolved all i of back taxes, placarding and past -due utility bilis. Mr. Fairbrother has been cited, and enjoined by the Court for operating an illegal junkyard/salvage operation an the property. This matter i still not resolved to the satisfaction of the neighbors or the City. The Trust alsoleft a $43.000 grtgage. unpaid to Fleet. The redemption period has expired on the tax liens and Fleet is believed to be pursuing payment of the note through the Courts. A detailed packet of information outlining the City's involvement is attached. Mn. Quartararo's letter to the Attorney for the Trust is an excellent summation. Fire at this structure, because of its proximity to nearby houses, as a cult of Mr. Fairbrother`s actions or the actions of others, has the potential to damage or destroy three other homes. n.pmmmt xae Manager's Comments: 'i'na (grrtnnu.�wrr) pecan-e�nu.

It is my understanding that you leased the property from Gerald D. Graham, Trustee, and were a tenant of the e; property. Included within your lease agreement was a purchase option for which you paid Mr. Graham $2,000 and you were to be consideration of $50.00 per month of your lease payments towards the purchase price of the property. The G. G. Graham Trust failed to pay the taxes when due, and the Cit}- 3 of Bangor filed a tax lien against the property on June e, 19 t That tax lien matured into an automatic foreclosure, and the City of -' Bangor foreclosed the interest Of the Trost and the Trustee, Mr.. Graham's. There is an outstanding mortgage on the property with Fleet Bank of Maine, but the bank's interest has not yet been foreclosed by the city. On January 5, 1995 a notice of impending foreclosure was mailed to Fleet Bank, and the bankhas90 days to redeem the property. It is our understanding that Fleet Bank doe not wish to redeem its interest in the property but instead will allow the bank's interest to be foreclosed by the City of Bangor. At the time that the Trust was provided with notice of the impending foreclosure, the property was inspected and found to be in violation of the City of Bangor's Existing Structures Code. The City's Code Enforcement Officer then placarded the building and all inhabitants were required to vacate the premises. Recently you produced a quitclaim deed from Mr. Graham to you, which was dated December 6, 1994 and notarized on January 26, 1995. The copy of the deed provided does not have a book or page number from the Registry of Deeds, therefore I do not know if you filed the - deed. Eased upon your Lease Agreement, dated July 30, 1990 and the unrecorded quitclaim deed you are asserting ownership of the property, accepting responsibility for the unpaid taxes and requesting that the City accept a workout plan with you for payment of the unpaid taxes and other charges due on the property. I am sorry but I will not entertain your request for the following reasons: 1. The City of Bangor has not foreclosed the interests of Fleet Sank n the property, their redemption period extends through April J, 1995. 2. In the opinion of the City's Code Enforcement Officer, based on several recent inspections, the prooerty is not capable of being economically restored to a condition that will allow the i of a certificate of occupancy by the City's Code Enforcement Office• 3. The property is located on a lot that is substandard under the City's Land Development Code (47' x 100'). It is located and adjacent to other nonconforming substandardlots. Absent other considerations, the City's normal goal in similar situation is to merge adjacent substandard lots by sale to abutting property owners so as to create house lots that conform to current code requirements. I strongly urge to seek legal counsel on this matter before filing the quitclaim deed and asserting responsibility for the property. As a courtesy I am forwarding a copy of this letter to Mr. Julio V. DeSanctis, III at Downeast Law Associates, P.A. If Mr. DeSanctis i not your arporney I urge to seek legal counsel from another source. / ve t y ours{ John L:Y aro Finance Director cc: Julio V. DeSanctis, III Downeast Law Associates, P.A.
