Ask ins, City Attorney <br />City of La Porte <br />La Porte, Texas <br />Re: Inspection report on building located on Lot No. 21, <br />Block No. 59, Town of La Porte, Harris County, Texas <br />Gentlemen and Lady: <br />MAYOR <br />H. P. PFEIFFER <br />CITY CLERK <br />MARILYN KELLEY <br />Pursuant to your request of May 3, 1965, the undersigned, members <br />of the Board of Inspection under ©rd finance No. 502, of the City <br />of La Porte, have completed an inspection of the above described <br />• premises. This letter is to set out the circumstances and condi- <br />tion of the above described property. <br />The property consists of a two-story wooden frame building, lo- <br />cated at 206 West Main Street, in the central business district of <br />the City of La Porte, commonly known as the M & M Bar building. <br />The building is old, and in a dilapidated condition, and has been <br />vacant for several years. <br />The front door to the structure is not locked, and it is apparent <br />that vagrants and other individuals have been entering the buil- <br />ding from time to time. The back door is locked, but the glass <br />in the door is broken out. The first floor is a filthy mess, <br />with paper, boxes, rags, gas tanks, broken furniture, on the floor, <br />which floor is rotting. The siding is off in several places, rot- <br />ting, and the sills are gone. The accumulation of trash is un- <br />sanitary, and is a definite fire hazard. <br />The one entrance to the upstairs is in the rear, as the front <br />stairs have already been torn down. The rear stairs are in bad <br />condition, with several bad steps, and some steps entirely missing, <br />and are in a very unsafe condition. The rear upstairs door is <br />• open, which also makes for easy entrance for transient people, <br />
