Code inspector: 330 Fulton case moved to lien lock as prostitution, unsanitary conditions spill into street
Summary
Code inspector Sarah Kirk told the Midtown Redevelopment Board that the property at 330 Fulton has an active enforcement case that has been taken to hearing and is currently locked because a short‑term rental fine became a lien; she said the owner is incarcerated and activity tied to the property is impeding traffic.
Sarah Kirk, an inspector with the City's code compliance division, reported to the Midtown Redevelopment Board on June 10 that code worked 41 cases in May, including 21 vacant‑lot cases and one short‑term rental case.
During board discussion Kirk described continuing concerns about the long‑running enforcement matter at 330 Fulton. "Code has taken the case to hearing, and, you know, they're working it on their end," she said. Kirk told the board that the property owner is incarcerated and that activity associated with the site — she mentioned prostitution and unsanitary conditions — has spread into the street and is impeding traffic.
Kirk said the case is in a "lien lock" status because a fine related to the short‑term rental enforcement had maxed out and became a lien on the property; as a result, the case is currently locked and the county would handle the lien. She told the board she will coordinate with the police code liaison (Sergeant Conley) and the code inspector assigned to the case and follow up with board members.
Board members described the situation as dangerous and urged close coordination between code and police. Kirk noted the limits of code jurisdiction when activity occurs in public right‑of‑way but said the department will consult with law enforcement and return to the board with updates.
