The Village Board directed the building inspector to inspect the property at West 261 South 3547 Genesee Road and report back at the board's second August meeting, and separately granted a 30-day extension until Aug. 28 for the property at West 257 South 2699 Genesee Road.

The board voted unanimously to ask building inspector Jared to make an in-person inspection and provide a written or oral report at the next meeting so trustees could determine any next steps, including citations. For the second property, trustees voted unanimously to extend the compliance deadline to Aug. 28 after hearing progress photos and statements from a resident who said the owner was repairing the roof and addressing exterior holes.

The discussion centered on whether to start formal fines. Trustees and staff said the owner of the first property had already received certified notices and had requested extensions in the past; the board instructed Jared to document the current condition and report so trustees could decide if fines should be issued retroactively to the original notice date. For the second property at 2699 Genesee Road, the board accepted photos and on-site statements showing exterior work in progress and approved another 30-day extension provided the owner contacts the building inspector to obtain any required permits.

During the discussion trustees cited specific municipal code sections that were listed on the compliance report: section 42-31 (prohibited exterior accumulations/structures), section 8-23 (unsafe building/not fit for occupancy) and section 8-66 (housing appearance/exterior defects including holes and roofing). Board members said citations remain an option if the inspector's follow-up shows unresolved violations.

Trustees also asked staff to include compliance letters and more detailed documentation in future meeting packets to aid decision-making. No citations were issued at tonight's meeting.

The board asked the building inspector to return findings at the second August meeting so trustees can consider formal enforcement.
