A recent government meeting addressed serious code violations at a property located at 6732 East 6th Street. The case began when a complaint was filed on June 5, 2024, regarding individuals living in a shed and dumping raw sewage on the ground. Investigator Jennifer Wilburn conducted an initial site inspection on June 7, documenting various violations, including trash, junk, and derelict vehicles.

On June 27, Investigator Robert Clarkson took over the case. He confirmed the presence of violations and noted that while some cleanup efforts were underway, significant debris remained. Clarkson reported that the complainant, a contractor developing nearby lots, had observed people living in the shed, although they were not present during his visits.

The property owner, currently incarcerated, has a mother, Cynthia Rosebush, who holds power of attorney. During the meeting, Rosebush explained her efforts to manage the property and remove squatters. She expressed concern about the safety of the structures, which have suffered damage and are not up to code.

Inspector Thorpe provided further details about the property's condition, highlighting structural damage and unsafe electrical systems. He noted that the property is located in a flood zone, complicating repair efforts.

The magistrate ruled that the property is unfit and unsafe, giving Rosebush 30 days to either demolish the structures or repair them according to strict floodplain regulations. The next compliance hearing is scheduled for January 8, 2025. The decision aims to ensure the safety of the neighborhood and address ongoing concerns about the property.
