A recent government meeting highlighted serious concerns about a vacant home suffering from extensive damage. The property, which appears abandoned, shows significant signs of deterioration, particularly around the second-story windows. Reports indicate severe rotting of the wood trim and fascia, with some sections having fallen off entirely.

Visual evidence presented during the meeting revealed rotting on the siding and around the windows. The damage is described as progressing clockwise around the house, with multiple broken windows and missing siding noted. The roof line also shows signs of sulfatation and decay.

The home has not been occupied for over 15 years, according to a phone call from the property owner's nephew, Chad Mullix. He mentioned that the family lives in Alabama and has not visited the property in years. Additionally, there are concerns about an exposed septic system, which has been reported to the Department of Health.

In response to these issues, a notice of violations was sent to the property owner on March 19th. The meeting underscored the urgent need for action to address the deteriorating condition of the home and ensure the safety of the surrounding area.
