Summary

An add-on to the agenda sought review of a condemned structure at 2413 Lorico Street; Property Standards recommended demolition and the council approved moving forward as soon as legally possible.

Council added an agenda item to review a recommendation for removal of a dilapidated structure at 2413 Lorico Street and approved demolition as soon as legally permissible.

The addition mattered procedurally because notice had been sent to the property owner but the item was inadvertently left off the published agenda; the council moved to add the matter and subsequently considered staff recommendations.

Property Standards staff described the structure as condemned earlier this year; staff reported open doors, a caved-in roof area, evidence of drug paraphernalia in one room and no active repair work. Staff said certified mailings to the recorded owner, P E I L Real Estate Group LLC, produced no response from three potential addresses. Given the lack of owner contact and ongoing safety concerns, the council moved to demolish the property “as soon as legally possible.” The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Ross and recorded as carried.
