The Pampa City Commission voted unanimously to issue 30-day demolition orders for seven properties after code enforcement staff told commissioners the structures are unsafe and beyond repair.

Code enforcement officer Jeff Kennedy told the commission the properties — 201 East Stutt, 401 Northcrest, 405 Northcrest, 601 North Sloan, 625 North Nada and 1717 Hamilton — have generated repeated complaints, vandalism, and, in at least one case, fire damage. "This one has been pretty rough," Kennedy said about 201 East Stutt, noting reports of drug activity, people going in and out of the structure and a later fire. For multiple Northcrest addresses he said inspections found the buildings unsalvageable and owners had not taken action.

The commission opened public hearings for each property, allowed any owners or representatives to speak and then closed the hearings before voting. For each property the motion presented was to "issue a 30‑day demolition order" by the substandard building order number 15789101920; motions were seconded and the commission recorded unanimous voice votes in favor.

Jeff Kennedy said attempts to reach family members or owners had been unsuccessful in several cases and that one owner was deceased. Regarding 601 North Sloan, Kennedy said crews previously removed multiple vehicles and that the structure remains unsafe to enter; he recommended demolition. On 1717 Hamilton Kennedy said the property had produced more complaints than other properties and that he could not reach any next of kin.

The votes were procedural: the commission conducted a public hearing for each address, closed the hearing, then voted to issue 30‑day demolition orders. Commissioners did not adopt any alternate remedies during the meeting, and staff did not announce a schedule for demolition beyond the 30‑day order.

Commissioners did take a few procedural questions from staff about utilities and infrastructure. On the former laundry-turned-structure at 601 North Sloan a commissioner asked whether a sewer connection remained; Kennedy said crews would cap lines if needed and confirm on site. No additional directions to delay demolition were recorded.

The orders were entered under the city’s substandard building procedure and reference entry number 15789101920. Commissioners gave no timetable for actual removal beyond the 30‑day notice period and did not discuss cost recovery or lien procedures at the meeting.

The decisions conclude the public‑hearing portion for the listed addresses; staff will proceed with demolition orders under the city’s code enforcement process unless an owner obtains relief outside the meeting.
