The structure does not have a rating for historical significance. STAFF ANALYSIS: The house was built in the 1880's. The City of Waterloo has owned the property since March 9, 2016. At that time, the property had been vacant for a large number of years and was uninhabitable. There are holes in the roof that have let in the elements for years. There is black mold in the building, and the interior and exterior have severely degraded. The foundation of the building is cracked and caving in. There have been multiple attempts made by the City of Waterloo to find someone who was willing and able to rehab the structure. Two development agreements have been in place, and both have been backed out of. The first was with JSA Development, and they backed out because the structure was just too far gone to be able to restore and make it work out financially. The second development agreement was with Habitat for Humanity, and they backed out for the same reason. Other parties have been contacted about this property, but none have expressed any interest in this house. Habitat for Humanity has expressed interest in salvaging some materials from the building to help with the restoration of other projects of theirs. Habitat has also been expressed in the vacant lot after it is demolished. ..'"'• — -- ..<--. --' • ..j-i_\ • -/ /.--,-X. rope- ,,. ,„ '' .11 i • � ' e v 1 (East side of the building) i---17,,...171:: : :::141, :in., ,,,„..',„ ..,A 7 * , , 0, 1'I # 1 lio 4 ' i 1 ,. .13 4 ,..A , 't, 4tio 1 1 . tf \'-1. 1 II i, } • �•)'fit „ ' �+" \', Y3 1 `t“ `` i % +� K , _ fit.
