Summary
The council adopted an order to demolish a condemned house at 434 Eighth Avenue Northeast, citing 49 housing code violations; the property owner did not appear at the hearing and will be charged demolition costs.
The Tuscaloosa City Council voted to order the demolition of a condemned structure at 434 Eighth Avenue Northeast after a staff presentation said the property has 49 housing code violations and the owner did not appear at the hearing.
City inspector Mister Williams told the council the property was condemned on Dec. 5, 2025, and that the owner has been contacted and is aware that if the property is demolished the cost will be charged back to the owner. Williams said the owner was not present to represent the property at the hearing.
The council held a public hearing and asked whether anyone present wished to speak for or against the demolition; no one appeared. After the hearing, the council voted to adopt the demolition order and instructed the clerk to record the action.
The order directs city staff to proceed with demolition and to charge the owner for associated costs; the council did not specify a demolition date during the hearing.
