Mr. Richardson presented the staff report. On November 15, 2007, Pam Loiacano
tagged the subject house as substandard. In July, the Historic Landmark
Commission had approved a certificate of appropriateness to allow the construction
of a new roof on this structure. However, the property owner stripped the house
down to the studs without approval of a certificate of appropriateness. Mrs.
Loiacano states that the structure has 50% or more damage to non -supporting
members and 33% or more damage to supporting members. She has determined
that the structure is not suitable for rehabilitation.
Mrs. Torres, the property owner, has signed a consent form to have the house torn
down.
Mr. Richardson recommended approval of the request.
Slides of the subject property were shown.
