FARGO (KFGO) – A Fargo home declared dangerous and city-ordered for demolition by December 30, has been given a reprieve.
The house, built in 1900, located at 812 7th Street N, is vacant, heavily damaged with squatter activity. Taxes had not been paid since 2019. The former owner is living in an assisted living center.
Inspections Director Shawn Ouradnik said the house was sold on November 15 at auction to Brian Trauman who has plans to repair the home. Ouradnik requested the city allow the new owner 180 days to make the repairs and save it from demolition.
City commissioners voted unanimously to approve the repair extension.
