Commissioner Yandell moved to grant the appeal; Commissioner Hammer seconded. The motion passed 3-0 with Alderman Jackson recorded as abstaining due to schedule conflicts.

Detective Pushnik of the Milwaukee Police Department's homicide unit testified about the December 30 homicide at 4108 North 20th Street, saying the victim was followed from a bus stop and shot at that address; the victim's daughter lived at the apartment and discovered the shooting. The city also called Officer Christopher Schley, who testified about an October 26, 2024 after-party at the building that witnesses described as an \"after set\" with as many as 80'100 people, a reported $10 cover charge and people in the doorway described by at least one witness as having firearms in pockets or waistbands. ShotSpotter recorded eight rounds at the location; investigators recovered seven casings outside the buildings and reported nine bullet strikes to the 4108/4110 structures.

City counsel argued the October event and the December homicide together supported the nuisance designation. Appellant counsel argued that ballistic evidence and witness statements indicated the majority of gunfire came from a vehicle driving by and that the city had not identified shooters or shown they were persons associated with the premises as the municipal code requires. The board questioned whether the city had established the connection between shooters and the property and whether the party evidence showed illegal firearm possession by attendees rather than an external attack.

After deliberation the board concluded the record did not support the nuisance designation as applied and granted the appeal. The board recorded a 3-0 vote in favor, with one abstention. Written notice will be sent to the parties describing the board's findings and appellate rights.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Milwaukee, WI - ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW BOARD OF APPEALS on 2025-07-01 9:00 AM - Jul 01, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","After testimony about a December 30, 2024 shooting and an October after-party incident, the appeals board granted the property owner's appeal for the 4102'4114 N. 20th Street block, concluding the record did not support a nuisance designation.","taxTitle","Milwaukee , Milwaukee County, Wisconsin","taxId",2851,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6656674,"Board grants appeal for 4264 N. 20th (North 7th St.) after questioning city's connection to robbers",1616,7560000,9176000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5122419-2d5f9ba542f422f740b956cd262120b6&start=7560&end=9176","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5122419-2d5f9ba542f422f740b956cd262120b6/thumbnail_7560000.jpg","/articles/6656674/Milwaukee/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Board-grants-appeal-for-4264-N-20th-North-7th-St-after-questioning-citys-connection-to-robbers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6656674-61ca9fe0157694aab80faea3fe7381da/orig.mp4?Expires=1773657126&Signature=GXWbghYi1JNAC0j2YU~L1MJvbcgYkvEAS9~uBBmu5xNIYpC~sMxzjv8ZCgQgiUDKdJKFCKIcx2xs4Y-wGd19boV83ywNq10iAGR7mTOMK8LXOx4Kk22fUz1xluMXSRnzyvETSg07Y3Fnqp9D5sb80OndMxgeUp0goPCRPEzJYoyMoxKLP5w~75uvKPFEX-bbwickkaHg2Q2bcoKr2RKNE~1hFbXwqmwk4tid5MAZ5wnaV9uOAsJXkVoh6y-GtFVUeauYJEGpQBr7SFeVdo6U9qN1aQFTow8eMPnEqHjGXKgSU4r~yXT7gbnTCGIehzrK9vMAQApGpRjpr8lxsmFRbA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Ministry of Review Board of Appeals granted an appeal by the property owner for the nuisance designation at 4264 North (appearing in hearing as 4264 North 20 Seventh Street) on July 1. Commissioner Yandell moved to grant the appeal; Commissioner Hammer seconded. The motion carried 3-1.

Officer Christopher Schley testified for the city about two incidents used in the nuisance letter: a November 18, 2024 robbery in which two armed persons forced entry into an apartment at the address and demanded money and drugs, and a December 13, 2024 incident in which a visitor reportedly forced his way into an apartment and threatened occupants with a firearm. The city's case linked the November robbery to individuals seen in the general area where a prostitute was dropped off the day prior, and argued those events were part of an illicit market that connected outsiders to the premises.

Appellant counsel argued the November robbers were not shown to be owners, managers, residents, guests, visitors or patrons of the property as required by the nuisance ordinance's definition of \"persons associated with the premises.\" Officer Schley acknowledged on cross-examination that investigators had no evidence the robbers were invited to the property, did business with the tenants, or lived at the address. He said the only connection was that the robbers had been observed in the same neighborhood block (4318 North 20th) where the prostitute had been dropped off.

After discussion, one commissioner characterized the city's link between the November robbery and the property as \"a hair\" and concluded the evidence did not show the required statutory association for that incident. Because the ordinance requires two qualifying incidents, the board concluded the city had not met the burden and granted the appeal. The decision was recorded as a 3-1 vote; the board will issue written notice of the ruling.

The board admitted police reports and related exhibits the parties had stipulated to; there were no witnesses called by appellant counsel.","The review board granted an appeal by property representatives for 4264 North 20th/20th Place (appeal heard July 1), finding the city did not show the people who committed a November robbery were persons associated with the premises under the municipal nuisance code.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6656677,"Board denies appeal on 2850 W.

Commissioner Yandell (referred to in hearing as the moving commissioner) moved to deny the appeal; Alderman Jackson seconded. The motion passed 4-0.

The city called homicide detectives who investigated two separate fatal shootings tied by the department to occupants or visitors to the building. Detective Bergman described a December 30, 2023 homicide discovered January 4, 2024, in which surveillance footage, key-ring evidence and extensive telephone records linked a suspect to the victim's apartment; the detective testified a suspect was later charged in that case. Detective Donahue described a November 4, 2024 homicide in Apartment 111 in which witnesses said a person identified as a local drug dealer forced entry, argued over money, and shot the resident.

City counsel argued the evidence established a pattern of violent and drug-related activity connected to people who regularly came to or dealt with residents of the property, and that the incidents justified the nuisance designation under the municipal code. Appellant counsel argued the shooter identities and the required legal connection to the premises (owner, operator, manager, resident, occupant, guest, visitor, patron, employee or agent) were not proven for each required instance.

After hearing testimony and reviewing stipulated police reports and briefs, the board concluded the city had met its burden on the record before them and denied the appeal. The board recorded the denial and will provide written notice to the parties.","The board denied an appeal by property representatives for 2850 West Highland Boulevard following testimony from homicide detectives that two homicides were linked to activity at the property.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6656682,"Board upholds nuisance designation for 4937 N. 30th St. after hearing on two shootings",3868,710000,4578000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5122419-2d5f9ba542f422f740b956cd262120b6&start=710&end=4578","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5122419-2d5f9ba542f422f740b956cd262120b6/thumbnail_710000.jpg","/articles/6656682/Milwaukee/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Board-upholds-nuisance-designation-for-4937-N-30th-St-after-hearing-on-two-shootings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6656682-d7a37b80090ed725335ca2cb08606136/orig.mp4?Expires=1773657126&Signature=idPFiPmPpLxX6mGnRwOnZVPONN5opJQVvm~Z8hPgkn~XkMxl5wgL3QhGLpYlGN6aFKl6J19DvSwgMLhU0uc-sxKGZUn~tcuiXHDu67uwDCL5VH4xLIInA1-xoUxsdd-9NtbDyhNOFz9vs46TA9OrUnBipKbqe3TvwRhcU0hWYd9HF0RdF0R8BA0bbaappEO7JwQQIhNtwAQqwSFsTXkPksdmInDCfUYFW9vpm-gmEhkgZWzkE8gn0ydBCId8p1~08KyEUoG6P5KI50YTZsg6JZX1SRSyRPT5ojJ06CKANw8~1US5yb~tNIv3S04qxj-iq6WuHszvytzuB64twQC-Aw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Ministry of Review Board of Appeals denied an appeal of the city's nuisance-property determination for 4937 North 30th Street on July 1, voting to uphold the designation. Alderman Jackson moved to deny the appeal; Commissioner Hammer seconded. The motion passed 4-0.

The board's decision followed testimony from Milwaukee Police Department Officer Tierra Sheets Walker, who testified the city relied on two shooting incidents when it labeled the property a nuisance. Walker described an August 19, 2024, shooting that began after occupants observed a black Ford F-150 connected to a dispute over the vehicle; she said armed individuals went into an apartment at the complex and later fired 4'5 rounds, striking a resident identified in reports as Dionne Delaney. Walker also testified about an October 12, 2024, incident that began as a fight inside an apartment, escalated outside and involved gunfire.

Why it matters: The Milwaukee ordinance cited by the city (referred to in the hearing as 80-10) authorizes nuisance designations when specified crimes repeatedly occur and are tied to persons associated with a premises. The city argued the two shootings and associated facts showed the activity stemmed from persons connected to the site; the property's attorney urged the board to require proof that the shooter(s) were \"persons associated with the premises\" under the code.

In testimony, Officer Sheets Walker said investigators interviewed residents and witnesses who placed armed people at or entering the property during both incidents and that the property's abatement plan was submitted, initially revised and ultimately accepted by the department. The city's attorney argued the events established relationships among the parties and fell within the municipal nuisance definition. Appellant counsel Michael Pluhoff countered that the city did not establish that the people who committed the violent acts were owners, managers, residents, guests or other categories listed in the code.

Board members asked about the abatement plan process and the effect of an accepted plan on later enforcement costs. Walker and city counsel explained the ordinance provides a 45-day period for implementation of an accepted abatement plan and that cost assessment for future enforcement is governed by specified subsections; the board noted those cost questions would arise only if the nuisance determination is affirmed and if further incidents or implementation failures occur.

The board recorded no additional orders other than denying the appeal. The appellant will receive written notification of the decision and information about appellate rights.

The hearing record includes police reports, briefs submitted by the city and by counsel for the appellant, and Officer Sheets Walker's testimony admitted into the record.","The Milwaukee Ministry of Review Board of Appeals on July 1 denied an appeal by property representatives of a nuisance designation for 4937 North 30th Street, finding two separate shooting incidents cited by the city supported the designation.","actionData","errors"]
