Owner of condemned 118 East Paul meets conditions; commission restores access and tables sale decision
Summary
The commission voted to remove a red tag from 118 East Paul after the owner completed required repairs; commissioners also agreed to table consideration of a pending sale for two weeks while realtors show the property.
The commission voted to remove a red tag from 118 East Paul after the building owner addressed items cited by city code enforcement. The owner told the commission crews had completed the listed repairs; staff confirmed the city’s code inspector had reviewed the work and recommended lifting the restriction.
During the meeting the owner also disclosed the property is on the market with an asking price of $60,000 and that realtors from outside the area had begun showing the building. Commissioners agreed to give the prospective buyer/realtor two weeks to continue their review and look for offers; they voted to table further action on the building until the June 17 meeting and directed staff to provide interested realtors with a copy of the engineering report and the cost estimate of deficiencies.
Why it matters: The building had previously been red‑tagged during a structural review. Lifting the tag restores the owner’s ability to use the building, while tabling the sale provides time for prospective buyers to evaluate the known deficiencies and for the commission to consider any subsequent proposals.
Actions and votes: The commission voted to remove the red tag and later approved a motion to table the sale/consideration until the June 17 meeting so realtors can follow up; staff was asked to share the engineering report and cost estimate with interested parties.
