STAFF REPORT
Boyd Meier, Building Official, has applied for a certificate of demolition for the residential
structure located at 1814 Park Street. This item was tabled at the August 14, 2017 meeting to
investigate alternative actions.
Mr. Meier states that the structure was originally tagged on July 28, 2016. The inspection report
states that the structure has extensive rot and deterioration throughout. There are multiple holes
in the ceilings, floors and walls. Due to the condition of the roof, the structure has been exposed
to the weather causing extensive water damage. All damaged electrical and plumbing will also
need to be repaired. In the current condition the structure is very unsafe. Staff recommends a
raze order.
The house is in the 1977 and 1990 SPARE Beaumont Surveys. SPARE states that the house was
built c.1901. The house is listed on the National Register and is a Recorded Texas Historic
Landmark.
