SUBJECT: A request for a certificate of demolition to demolish a house and garage
apartment.
FILE: CA-2878
STAFF REPORT
Tony Finical has requested a demolition certificate for his property located at 2226 North Street.
In June of 2017, the City of Beaumont Building Official, Boyd Meier, tagged the structure as
substandard, but due to the property being occupied, was pursuing the property owner for a work
program to repair the structure. In October of 2017, Mr. Finical notified Mr. Meier that he
intended to demolish the structure.
The City of Beaumont's Demolition Program takes time, in many cases over two years, for
processing. Due to time constraints, Mr. Finical has made application to demolish the structure.
Mr. Meier stated, in a letter issued to Mr. Finical in June of 2017, that the structure has
extensive foundation deterioration. In addition, there is extensive damage to exterior walls,
windows, overhangs and roof. Reports were also received of pest infestations. All damaged
electrical and plumbing will also need to be replaced.
Due to observed deteriorated status of the structure, and Mr. Finical's report of the property's
condition, staff recommends a raze order for the house and all accessory structures.
The house is in the 1990 SPARE Beaumont Survey. SPARE states that the house was built c.1925.
The house was listed as an example of large middle class housing built in the 1920's and 1930's.
Exhibits are attached.
