Code board defers repairs order for 1726 Second St.; upholds fines for multiple no-shows
Summary
The Louisville Metro Code Enforcement Board gave the property at 1726 Second St. until May 9 to achieve total compliance after staff documented roof and gutter damage; the board also upheld fines for several owners who did not appear at the hearing.
Lakan Girdley, a code enforcement supervisor for Louisville Metro, presented photos and a case summary showing continued roofing, gutter and fascia deterioration at 1726 Second St., and told the board inspectors placed a $700 penalty after an October 2024 inspection and found partial interior compliance but ongoing roofing and gutter problems in a later visit. Girdley described holes in the fascia, rotted gutter boards and a missing section of downspout shown in inspection photos.
A property representative who identified that Broadway Management had managed the building for roughly 20 years said crews had made repairs after a recent ice storm and that interior surfaces had been skimmed and repaired. The board expressed concern about prior unpaid fines and told the representative to coordinate with the Office of Management and Budget about outstanding balances. Board member Chris Wonteland said 90 days would be sufficient and scheduled the matter for May 9 for total compliance.
Separately, the board handled a set of non-appearance enforcement cases and upheld the cited fines. For each case where the property owner or respondent did not appear, the board entered an order upholding the citation and the penalty listed in the docket.
