Greetings Ms. Cameron,
My name is Steven Rosenblum. I reside at 3193 8th Street, directly across Forest from 3201 8th
Street. I understand that the new owners of this property have applied to demolish the structures
on the property and build anew. I am writing to express my wholehearted support for their
application. As soon as they purchased the property, they immediately remedied a dangerous
situation of a large dead tree precariously hanging over power lines. I had previously spoked with
the prior owner to address the situation, but never got anywhere. This situation was emblematic of
the condition of the entire property, which was in a state of neglect and decay. I was therefore not
surprised when the new owners informed me that their intent to restore the existing building looked
to be impossible due to substantial structural defects. I am very pleased to have the property now
in caring and responsible hands. As far as the historic value of the current structure, there is none.
The current home and shed are eyesores on an otherwise beautiful street and only detract from the
character of the neighborhood. I am confident this is the universally shared opinion of the block. I
can provide further references if desired.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Many Thanks,
Steven Rosenblum
