Here is the Notice of Violation the City sent the owner of 1410 Avondale on May 21, 1998 (scanned in; the typos probably are NOT in the original). The boilerplate is pretty much the same as the (ineffective) Notice the City sent on 11/4/97. The attachment (another 2+ pages), however, threatens to condemn the place. Doubtless, that was what attracted the owner's attention (at last).
