Summary description of proposed action:
We are looking for a determination of NO architectural or historic significance for the residence on this property. It is a
non-descript 1940s era bungalow with approximatelv 850 square feet of Iivjnq space. The house is in extensive disrepair
both externally and internally, and is detrimental to the property value of the neighbors. It has been vacant since March
2023, and there is concern that leaving it in the current state presents a potential place for squatting and/or vandalism
and a nuisance
Upon research, there is no evidence that the structure ever had architectural or historic significance. No records exist on
structures can be found that have such significance.
We are seeking to demolish the house after obtaining a determination.
