HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Paul Jakubovich provided photos of the property highlighting some of the work that is needed. Erica Lewandowski, Dept. of Neighborhood Services, said that the dept. reviewed the application and agrees that the house should be restored, but is concerned with the length of time being requested, which is two years. In the fall of 2013 there were 31 orders against the property and the property owner was taken to court for non-compliance. There are 28 orders still outstanding, most of which are identical to those of 2013. The dept. is also concerned that the financing plan is thin and the applicant is merely requesting two additional years. The department would support a one year certificate.
Mr. Williams arrived at 3:12 P.M
Olusegen Sijuwade, the owner, is currently in graduate school and anticipates he'll have a higher income once he graduates. He did apply for funding through NIDC and the work was too extensive for them to do. He will finish graduate school in two years.
Mr. Jarosz said that the gutters and overhangs must be addressed first as the current conditiont will result in rapid deterioration of the structure.
Grant for one year with the opportunity to come back in a year and reapply.
