The building at 50 Sidney St. has been vacant since 2011. The Code Enforcement Department has attempted to work with the property management company and the bank foreclosing on the property. Issues of concern include a foundation that has failed on three sides, a leaking roof, and related structural issues. Because the house is sagging and listing, the door no longer fits in its frame, the porch is uneven and failing, and a window and window well are collapsing into the basement. In addition there have been a number of break-ins and the City has concern about unsafe access. The building was placarded in 2011 and 2016 and an initial notice regarding demolition of the building was sent in July of 2017. At this time, structural deficiencies to the foundation that make this building beyond rehabilitation. A notice requiring progress towards repair or demolition was sent on March 5, 2018. No progress has been made. At this time the building is dangerous and represents a significant blight to the neighborhood. Staff recommends that the building be demolished and that a lien be placed on the property for the cost of demolition. This item will require a public hearing.
