I. Based on the Inspection Report, the HRA hereby finds that:

Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 10(b), since it contains defects in structural elements or a
combination of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection including
adequate egress, layout and condition of interior partitions, or similar factors, which defects or deficiencies
are of sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or clearance; and
