BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The property is owned by William R. Masten. The structure is an in-ground concrete pool with a vinyl liner. There is a concrete walkway around the top of the pool. The dwelling where the pool is located has been vacant since March of 2013, and is currently registered with the City as a Vacant Building. On June 9, 2017, City Staff condemned the in- ground pool as an unsafe structure due to it being dangerous to the life, health and safety of the public due to the deterioration of the wood pool cover and open access to the pool. Recently, the two four foot gates have been secured along with the gate along the alley. City Staff found on July 28, 2017, that the wood pool cover had been removed and replaced with a standard mesh pool tarp. Currently the principle structure is vacant with no active utilities and the pool remains covered.
